This is mainly for myself, but conversation, constructive criticism, and feedback certainly welcomed.

2/12 Weekly Goals
- accurately log every day
- “Something” (exercise-wise) daily
- Weigh in daily (not worried @ the #, just get in process)
- Drink “more” water (not worrying about amount yet - will get more specific as I get in process)

    how did you eat 'too much' if you were under your calorie goal?

    you don't get extra points for making yourself suffer while losing weigh

    Left the table feeling “stuffed & lethargic” - pure subjective feeling about the meal, that’s all

    Initial measurements for baseline.

    Initial thought: for crying out loud, I’m a f#*%ing cylinder...
    OK, it’s the baseline from which to measure progress. Initial plan - measure monthly to see how it goes.

    2/13 PM - 60m BJJ rolling, 60m Boxing/MT striking drills.

    Overall, great day. Lots of movement, good amount of water, disciplined eating (& mostly “clean” FWIW...). Will be sore tomorrow- get up and get after it anyway!

    Broke discipline & had some tired/bored snacking - put me over the limit for the day. Going to bed early - fresh start tomorrow.

    Your diary has a notes section at the bottom - it might be a good place to write your thoughts and help you identify any patterns of food/behaviours?

    Look at your weekly goal, not just daily.

    2/15 PM - 120m BJJ & Boxing:MT. Short dog walk.

    Good day. Lots of movement, lots of water, good eating. Smoked from JJ/B/MT - hope to fall asleep as soon as head hits pillow. Thinking about IF tomorrow- not sure if I will or not. Haven’t meal prepped - will make final decision tomorrow...
  • Matt200goal

    Waved off any IF - woke up hungry and feeling a little dehydrated.

    AM - 5 Ed’s 500m row 15 KB swing assisted PU & dips. 5 x 8 PUs un partitioned. Will go to 10 next weekend - once 10s able to be done unpartitioned then will start decreasing assistance weight.

    2/20 - awful, from a disciplined & weight loss perspective, weekend - and a long one at that. From Friday afternoon to Monday evening, didn’t log, over ate, and didn’t exercise. Predictable end result - gained back everything lost last week plus 0.6 pounds. It’s this type of behavior that has put me at my heaviest ever (think it’s today’s number) - disappointed & disgusted with myself.

    Goal this week - get up everyday & workout, log everything, reduce Diet Coke amount & consume more water. Biggest goal - don’t lose it over the weekend!

    AM - 30m cardio (10 runner, 10 glider, 10 runner) followed by some stretching.

    OK day - under goal even with a little treat of nutter butters. Would certainly like some more, but will hold off and keep it a good day. PM - short dog walk. Trying to go to bed early - doing the morning workout means a silly early start - but if I don’t do it then - I usually just don’t. Up & at’m

    2/21 - good solid 6 hours of sleep, like a rock. 0300 wake-ups will do that :)

    AM - 5 rounds of 500m row, 15 x KB swing, 5 x 45# OHS (Add), unpartioned 10/10 PU & Dips (next time -10 on assistance). Followed with farmer & waiter walk & stretching.

    2/22 - AM 30m cardio (10R/10G/10R) followed by a little medicine ball work & 10 x Turkish Get-Ups (light KB( [adds to routine), then stretching.

    @40xBEFOREx40 - Thanks. Interestingly enough - worked like a champ going through the internet link, but that shows up nowhere when using the app (which is predominantly how I use MFP) - unless I’m missing something else.

    2/22 - 60m rolling, 60m boxing/MT - ran out of gas towards the end; I’m smoked. BJJ - goal for the year - there is one guy- slightly smaller, a little stronger, and a little better than me: be able to flow with him (on my terms). No issues with people who don’t threaten me or are significantly better than me - can flow with the go & go with the flow. However, with slightly better peers, I use too much strength and/or explosiveness - and it gets worse when I’m fatigued.

    Followed by 20m dog walk. Pretty good water & eating day. Need to stay disciplined with the weekend coming up.
