[Coach Gee]: Looking at 1.5 reps on monkey bars + pull-up, what’s the story there? What are you learning from that number?
Mostly its sore on the hands. I'm focusing on regular sessions on the bars to get my callouses and skin hard. What am I learning? I'm learning it'll be possible in 6 weeks, but I need to both get stronger and lose some more weight.
Today felt like I was starting again. I woke up feeling guilty and disappointed. I looked fatter around my middle in the mirror - but I guess, what did I expect after 3 days of binge eating? The only thing I can do now is do better today.
The good:
Today I completed my 16 hour fast until 2pm (actually making it 17 hours)
I had a steak, slaw and rice lunch
I got to the gym and did a solid 70 minutes boxing, skipping, some ball slams and shadow boing
I walked 13k steps
The Bad:
I had a few too many grapes from the bag; maybe 15+
I picked at the chocolate cake and had a small slice
I added greek yogurt to my smoothie
I'm still beating myself up over binge eating over the weekend and Monday dinner and then I pick at chocolate cake? I need to get my shit together and focus up here. I'm under 200 days until my fight and eating refined sugar isn't going to help me get to the weight I need to be at.
Do better tomorrow!
Coach Gee here. You're right, the monkey bars and pull-ups are a brutal mirror, showing you exactly where the extra weight is holding you back. And that feeling of 'starting again' after a binge? I know it well. But let's be blunt: picking at chocolate cake and adding Greek yogurt to your smoothie after acknowledging a weekend of binging isn't 'doing better today,' it's a continuation of the same pattern. You're still letting refined sugar dictate your progress, and that 98.8kg weigh-in isn't going to budge if you keep making these small, insidious choices. For tomorrow, I want you to eliminate all dairy – that Greek yogurt is out – and every single gram of refined sugar. This isn't about guilt; it's about getting your shit together and hitting that 94kg target for Sprint 4.
