Alright, today's projected food totals are as follows:

876 Calories, 12.3g Fat, 7.5g Carbs., 170.1g Protein

That's cutting it right down to the minimum requirements......to match my minimal energy level...and even though I know I'm supposed to, I don't feel like eating.....especially TUNA.

Workout is scrapped until tomorrow. I'm not sure what's going on, whether it be sinus symptoms or starvation, but I feel like condensed CRAP today. Going to the gym would be a wasted trip, I'm afraid. Besides, it wouldn't hurt my "injured" forearm/elbow to have another day's rest.

I wonder how many carbs are in NyQuil.....or Whiskey, for that matter.

I see you made the appropriate adjustments to your avatar! Where's the mustard?

Yesterday's workout half sucked....wasn't feeling too frisky.

Scale reading was pretty cool though.....Now down from 242 to 228.

Today's projected food totals....

964calories, 19.4g fat, 12.9g carbs, and 174.9g protein.

Eggs tonight, workout tomorrow...possibly.

I'm happy with it. Although now I'm starting to wonder when the dreaded plateau might show up.

Today's projected Food Totals...

929Calories 19.2g Fat 14.5g Carbs 171g Protein

Today's workout was perhaps the worst I have ever had. Strength was fair to start out with, I was working with the same weight I usually do, but energy was gone in a matter of minutes. I'm guessing that the combination of sinusitis or whatever the heck I have, sinus meds, and this diet were a recipe for failure anyway. I stayed focused, tried to think my way through it....no dice. It SUCKED, plain and simple. Screw it.

Scale is still around 227~228....I didn't expect anything in a couple of days anyway.

Today's goal is to stay hydrated.

Between the high protein/high urinary output RFL diet and the effects of Loratadine, Pseudoephedrine and Caffeine, I should lose about six pounds by the end of the day.

No longer in ketosis

....either that, or the multivitamin I use, which is obviously loaded with saffron or some other dye that, when combined with water, produces a sort of neon/chartreuse hue, has had some sort of odd reation with the keto-stix. No matter, really. I no longer have to turn on the bathroom lights when I need to go.....so I'm saving some money on electricity.

Absolutely no DOMS from yesterday's workout. Odd.

That is all.

Diet..yada yada yada....protein...yada yada yada....workout.....yada yada yada...

TUNA!

Well, you're certainly in a good mood today!

Well, at this stage of the game there's not really much to rave about...It really is a, well, BORING diet. But, if my objective is reached, it'll be worth it. I was planning on working out today, but due to this allergy thing, I may wait until tomorrow.
Special note about DaMayor and illness/ailments. DaMayor does not DO sick....can't afford to, can't stand it...gets in the way. But this congestion has really been an obstacle the past week or so.

Ehh, doesn't matter much anyway. Diet is most important for weight loss. Working out is secondary. As long as you keep to your diet, taking a few off training won't negatively impact your progress.

Yeah, this I know......But OH, THE GUILT!

No big deal, on this diet my workouts haven't been 100% anyway, so I'm not going to beat myself up too much. I'm just glad my sanity is still somewhat intact.

**Built** · 03-22-2010, 07:52 PM

I'm looking at your sig and thinking "Hmmm... so this is what sanity looks like..."

Who knew?

Pathophysiological Protein Psychosis....definition to follow later....after I catch Charlie the Tuna.......

Charlie's got good taste...

Sustenance

Today's Food Totals...952calories, 14.5g fat, 14.0g carbs, 178.1 protein
Composed of/taken from the usual menu of tuna, chicken, fish, eggs and fat free cheese.

The Workout

Alright, today's workout.....High hopes in the beginning...short duration followed by fatigue and melancholia.

Press movements were strong...Legs were weak.
I am afraid I have reached the point in this diet when I must understand that strength gains are no longer in the equation, stamina is something I will be able to appreciate while it lasts, and the main objective will now be, "give it what you got...while you got it." After all, these workouts are depletion workouts, right? So I'm not going to stress too much.

Eat More Tuna

Appetite is still minimal. Force feeding is the norm. If I were able to afford nothing but liquid protein...this is the route I would take. Chewing animal tissue is no longer an enjoyable affair. Lyle M. is a complete idiot for not creating his own line of no sugar, low carb, high protein RTD's to pimp out with his book. Heck, I'd even market it for him....Nectar of the McGod's
Anyway, two tilapia fillets tonight and I'm done for the day.

Pants on the Ground

Scale reads between 227 and 228 today.

Only a possible one pound loss since last weigh-in. In the back of my mind, I have been expecting a decrease in fat loss,(the dreaded plateau) but I was hoping it wouldn't show up until I reached CAT 2 at least. However, since I spent the majority of last week feeling sickly, and am only starting to feel slightly better today, I will attribute this slow-down to a decrease in workout intensity, water retention from a super-high sodium free meal on Sunday, (straight up chicken hot wings, y'all) and the fact that I had a little slip-up with peanut butter last night (maybe 2 Tablespoons....sue me). I will re-evaluate this at week's end, and start worrying after that.

So that's it. That's DaMayor's exciting PSMF input for the day.

**Built** · 03-24-2010, 09:07 AM

These workouts are most certainly NOT depletion workouts.

They're meant to be very short, heavy workouts to stimulate the muscles enough to convince 'em to stick around. That's it.

Well, that's kinda what I meant....don't know where the depletion thing came from.

I think the term maintenance would have been safer.

They have indeed been short, and as heavy as I can stand.....which hasn't been as much as I am used to, obviously. Of course, on the few calories I've been consuming...

From a psychological standpoint, I may be taking a diet break after six weeks instead of twelve. I'm not sure how this will effect my progress, but honestly, this diet is starting to drag me down. Of course, there are other issues dragging me down as well, but they need not be addressed here....irrelevant they are.

At this point, I have absolutely NO idea.
