9 days. Feck.
Still doing the work but feel I'm losing momentum and the sessions (particular the swimming) are becoming super hard. I suffer through to the end but it shouldn't be that way. I think its diet and sleep related. Playing too much catchup in that regard. Was going to contact sports nutritionist last week but GF informed me that she had planned that as my birthday present so have to wait another week. She knows me so well!
So hopefully I can get the diet right. As mentioned, the cheat days are getting out of control and that's not good for the body or soul going forward.

Another factor may be the new weekend routine. On Saturday I do the Crossfit workout Murph for an hour and then an hour of swimming. Sunday is now an 18km run, which isn't pleasant after a day of excess.
Murph is
1 mile run
100 pullups
200 push-ups
300 squats
1 mile runIt's a bit of a bitch. Have a few others I'd like to try as well. Destroys the core.

I bitched out a bit. You break it down by going
5 pullups
10 push-ups
15 squats
X 20The "real" crossfitters do it with a weight vest and without breaking it up. Although they do those kip pullups which I'm not a fan of.

Kip pull ups are bullshit.

Just had one of those body scans. Very interesting. 7% body fat. Makes me wonder what I was last year when not doing cheat day 😬.
Seeing dietician next week and will look to see how I can change things up a bit in terms of chow.

That's not kipping. That's butterfly, and is apparently easier again? But I cbf trying it cos it looks even harder on the hands

@rancid-schnitzel whats your muscle mass?
7% is fucking lean!
I'm looking to get a scan in another month, in theory, as I've dropped 6kg, most of that should be fat, even then my % will still be high teens, and I'll be stoked with that haha.
@MN5 I'd probably end up like that, but more cos my shoulders would fall out and my hands still holding the bar! My shoulders hurt just watching kipping/butterfly pull ups!

Weight is 69.3kg, skeletal muscle mass is 36.4kg.
Would prefer to be 73 or 74kg so will have a good chat to dietician about the best way forward within the "framework" of my present programme.

Not seen it? Available everywhere here. Actually the one I had was more a low cal ice cream. From Aldi. Called Kennys. A shameless copy of Ben and Jerry's but half the price.

So went to a dietician and it was a pretty fun experience. She was really cool. Plenty of laughs about my cheat days. No judgements, just support and happy to help me reach my goals.
Anyway, there won't be massive differences, just tweaking to ensure I don't starve during the day and won't have these ridiculous blow-outs on Saturday. Will give it a go for 6 weeks, but am very positive.

The girl trained as a dietician and I love completely disagreeing with lots of what she says. The amount of protein I need as opposed to her especially. I’m nearly twice her weight for fucks sake !
To be fair she does make a fair point that occasionally I do eat too much proceeded meat but some of the amounts that she needs as opposed to what I need leave me feeling starving.

There was some "influencer" woman a while back who claimed her workout meant you could "eat anything you wanted". Now that may be the case for a tiny woman like her, but not for people with much larger appetites. I'll bet what fills her up would be like an appetiser for most people. Giving someone free reign to eat whatever they want is not particularly wise.

Started new eating regime on Saturday. It's basically just going hard at lunch and not stressing too much about the other meals. Was much better.
Saturday training unfortunately has to be truncated due to youngest and volleyball. Bloody rude that the games start at 8 and they have to get there at 7:30. Means I have to get out of the pool early. Shame because it was in the Groove on Saturday. Did a type of crossfit session:
500m row
Sled, back and forth 4 times
20 wall balls
500m run
X7Was good shit.
But will be super hectic Saturdays going forward. Can't really complain though and it's great he's getting into his sport. Can remember when the kids had rugby at 8am on both Saturdays and Sundays. Goodbye weekends!
-
Yeah so eating on Saturday was pretty good. Schnitzel and nacho laden lunch and BBQ for dinner but otherwise nothing stupid. The run on Sunday was actually reasonably pleasant for once due to my bowels being clear and settled.
Ironically I'm finding that I'm turning a corner in terms of swimming but the running is getting harder. Doing the half-marathon then full in consecutive days will not be fun but I've at least got some time to train until then.
