xenon2000’s BodyBlog

First 2 weeks I lost 5 Lbs, but only lost 1 Lbs this last week. Likely due to eating more and missing 2 days at the gym. Getting a little easier with the low cal diet. Still hungry most of the time, but doesn’t seem so depressing now. I don’t think I will ever "enjoy" the low cal diet. But at least I am getting used to it.

When biking or rowing, I generally get my heart rate to 140-150 part of the time during warmup cooldown, and 150-160 for much of the time. Not sure if that is good or bad. I need to look into that.

Last week was Week 6, and it was a hard quick switch from 2800-3500cal bulking days straight to 1500-1800 cutting days. Halloween weekend was some high cal days including some dirty cals from Sonic’s Drive-In SuperSonic cheese burger and onion rings. But it was good. I will start labeling my Weeks better so that it makes more sense when I read them in the future. Today is the start of Week 7 and today was a great day of rowing and biking machines. Easy mindless lunchtime cardio for me. Still the hardest part of cutting is feeling like I am starving all the time. No matter how many veggies I eat. And I still do not want to rely on pills or special supplements to curb my appetite. My pain….. oh well.
