Day 16 of 42
It's Easter Monday. I'm feeling a bit low today. I feel like things are sliding away and I'm on the verge of falling off the wagon. Or maybe I just don't want to go back to work tomorrow.
I feel fat and gross. I don't really know why. I didn't lose any weight this week, but lost size off my waist. I'm exercising every day with intensity, walking 10 - 15k steps most days, I haven't had any sugar since January. My diet has been 90% good most of the time - if I "cheat" its extra meat, or avocado. I fast every day for 16 hours. I guess it just feels like a grind again. It felt like a grind last sprint at about this point too. 16 days is too far away from the end to be exciting and too close to the start to be exciting too - I'm in no mans land really. I do feel like I need to make some changes and sharpen things up. Maybe add some different training into my routine. I'll think on it.
Again, steak, slaw and rice for lunch. Its nice with the extra chilli flavour. But honestly, I'm sick of writing the same stuff day after day. I'm boring myself here. It's not really boring, its just how I eat. Routine makes things easy to maintain. I'm not really craving any specific food, just a bit of a change.
We had left over lamb and salad for dinner. I really like lamb! I took the kids out for an Acai bowl after dinner This was literally the only "bad" thing I ate all easter and now I feel super guilty about it.
My knee was a bit swollen from playing basketball on concrete, or 3 rounds of skipping, or hard shadow boxing or a combination of all 3. I felt like a walk would have aggravated it, so I sat on my butt watching tv for the evening and felt super guilty about this too.
I did some app work before bed. I ended up redesigning the entire coaching mechanics. I'm not sure where I'm going with this thing now. I guess I'm just in a bit of a rut.
Your waist dropping to 97cm is objective proof of fat loss, so stop letting a stagnant scale and a single Acai bowl convince you that you’re 'sliding away' when the data says otherwise. You are repeating your Day 16 'no man's land' pattern where mental boredom tricks you into feeling like a failure, a trap we’ve seen you fall into during every high-intensity block. Respect the knee injury with low-impact mobility instead of 'sitting on your butt,' and immediately tighten #The_Hidden_Oil_Audit on that chili-steak to ensure 'flavor' isn't introducing the hidden calories that are masking your progress.
