I will diet with you so it won't be so bad. I won't do PSMF though.
Do we get any cheats?
I'm heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere! Dude, are you STILL trying to lose weight? I think you may have a problem.

since i'm doign the fatty version I get one cheat meal and one 5-hour refeed per week. I may skip them this week, depending on how I feel
(which means plan on bagels for Friday)

It's mainly because I
can't won't stick to a diet for shit. I've made a few changes in habits, though, so it might actually work this time.
It's cos dieting is gay and makes you weak
That it does.
So I weighed myself today: 96.8kg (or 213 lbs). Yesterday's 3-site calipering gave me a 22% score. It's not horribly accurate but I'll use that as a starting point. That works out to 75.5kg (or 166 lbs) of LBM.
Some of that is pure water bloat since I had a good bit of carbs yesterday. I expect at least a few kg of water weight/glycogen to fall off in a hurry, though I've skipped the horrors of depletion workouts. Also I'm taking creatine which accounts for a little of that.
I'm not really setting a weight-loss goal. I do want to drop as much fat as possible, obviously, but I'm not going to sacrifice (non-water) LBM to make it happen. 88.5kg (195 lbs) would put me right around 15%, but dropping 8kg may be unrealistic. Won't know til I get there.
Plan is to lift either Sun/Weds or Tues/Fri, just depending on what I feel like. The remaining days will be joint/rehab stuff and LI cardio for around a half-hour.
This week is still deloading from the 531 cycle so I'm using that to break myself in. Today's session was OHP, Front SQ, chins, and calf raises with 30' of LI cycling at the end.
Lifted yesterday, just doing the weights for the 531 deload week.
usual shoulder mobility circuit
OHP, 30x5, 37.5x5, 42.5x5
FrontSQ, 45x5, 57.5x5, 70x5
chins, 3x6
calves, 3x10
LI cycling for 30'
Diet went well. Eating veggies really does help w/ hunger and makes the food taste a bit better. Spinach and mushrooms go with most anything, and a big plate of salted celery helps stay full.
I may have to schedule another cup of coffee for around 3-4pm just to help w/ appetite control, but so far things have been good.
I don't really expect the hunger crazies to kick in for a little bit yet.
Day 2 diet on point.
Went to the gym and did 30' on the cycle
Then shoulder mobility circuit of band pull-aparts, some foam rolling and stretching for the lower body, and some OH squats with the broomstick. Found out that tight pecs/internal rotators are another issue to work on
Hunger still hasn't gotten bad yet. A few carb-cravings here and there but otherwise nothing major. Doesn't mean it won't get worse, but it's tolerable for now.
Day 3 and I'm definitely getting some crazy glycogen depletion. I can't hold water for shit, which means trips to pee every 20 minutes.
I've also got a bit of sick feeling. Feels like I didn't sleep very good and I'm getting some pretty rough sinus congestion, so I'm having to skip any gym activity today too. Hoping this will pass.
Day 4, still feeling a bit sick but I did sleep better last night. The crapitude seems to have confined itself to my nose now. I still feel kinda bad but I can't tell if that's sinus problems or just the shitty diet. Slamming coffee and green tea seems to help. However this also means yet another day of no exercise.
I'm definitely doing a refeed tomorrow, just a little five-hour one to recharge and so I won't feel like total crap at the gym. Also I'm craving butter chicken and rice with a couple of big buttery naan breads, so that may be on the cheat-meal list soon.
I can't imagine both being sick AND dieting. When I'm sick I just want to eat ice cream or toast. Hope you feel bettah. Naan will do a body good.
