Wyrms' Journal

My hamstrings still hurt but I'm gonna force myself through another tedious workout - sky's the limit and I've struck it.

All has been superb with diet.
Exercise, wanted to train yesterday but could barely stand because of my hamstrings being seemingly over-stressed...

Mood-wise, last 2 days have collectively been some of the worst days of my life. And today I had just what I needed... A nice cheat-worthy kebab almost within my macro ratio. It was just what I needed to relax and in the right environment with the right people. A good reward for sticking to this and I feel as though it has been well-deserved.

Even though cardio and general activity has been up there, I feel as though I need to give it another boost. An extra jog here and there. I've treated work like cardio as well, lately we've been busy and I've just been packing bags like a man possessed for 4 hours straight, with a break of course.

All in all, right now, I'm quite content.

Thought it was time I'd get another photo up.

They were taken all around the same time, moreso the first and third. I see difference in fat on my mid-section, as I have lost an inch or so (from memory) around the waist. I'm happy with it so far, that's all that matters. The last week has been more hectic with NROL, cardio and diet so I'd hope to see more results than just a few inches lost by the end of the next 4 weeks. Let's see how I go.

w00t... All 3 of my supps arrived on the same day, what a coincidence... =D

-Animal Pak
-USPLabs ReCreate
-5-HTP (Not particularly for bodybuilding...)

Gonna start stacking in the morning.

Boys and gals, this shall be an eventful 4 weeks.

Other than a cookie today, I've been spot-on with my diet. And I am impressed with the effects of ReCreate. Would go into detail but cbf, doubt that anyone'd read it anyway. haha

Cardio's been up and cutting's been great. I'm doing everything right so I'm hoping my body doesn't suck. Otherwise I'm gonna have to kill myself.

Cardio's been up but I did a specific type of substance the other night which fudged me up to the point where I experienced extreme fear, extreme paranoia and acceptance of death for 6 straight hours and still have drug-induced psychosis. Still been sticking to meals, maybe slacked off for a day.

Seriously though, after that, I've had a bit of a revelation. Not touching any substance ever again. I'm sticking to alcohol, and even then it'll be in very small portions and on specific occasions... Bloody hell, it was not nice.

All is very well today in the world of cutting. And I think a bit of applesauce goes good with cottage cheese and cinnamon.

I've been really getting into this routine of healthy eating, lifting and cardio. Makes me feel great.

Also, I think the USPLabs ReCreate's really stunning in a lot of aspects.
So far I give it a 5/5 for appetite suppression, 4/5 as a thermogenic, and 4/5 for showing some more cuts alongside healthy diet and exercise. All is well.

AND THANKS TO ANIMAL PAK, MY URINE COULD NOT BE GREENER!

When I started for the comp, July 20th I had a 34.7 inch waist,
3 and a half weeks later...
12th August I had a 33.2 inch waist.
2 and a half weeks after that...
Now, 29th August, I have a 32 inch waist.

Seaking.

nice work !

Cheers man. :) Means a lot.

All has been well in my little world.

Except breakfast for the last few days has been a high protein cereal with a protein shake and I had pizza on Saturday, very good cheat meal...

Workouts are kicking my arse. Damn you NROL.

Man, today's been effed.

Meal 1 - The protein cereal, woke up late to work, had to substitute. I'm not really worried about breakfast though. It's in my macro ratio as well so it's good.
Meal 2 - Protein shake during work
Meal 3 - Steak, beans, bit of wholemeal bread on the side
Meal 4 - ??? WAS MOVING HOUSES FOR 5-6 HOURS STRAIGHT, SKIPPED A MEAL.
Meal 5 - Protein shake, banana, a slice of pizza (I know... I know... But after so much heavy lifting from the back of a truck for so many consecutive hours, you can't say no)
Meal 6 - Cottage cheese, egg whites, cinnamon, apple sauce, milk.

Not too shabby.

But I got one hell of a workout. I'm having spasms all over my body.

One thing that annoyed me though was all the adults just treated me like a kid, 'DON'T LIFT THAT, YOU'LL HURT YOUR BACK...'
Then I lifted the box, took it to the truck, came back, saw a heavier box there,
'THAT ONE'S DEFINITELY TOO HEAVY FOR YOU, GRAB IT WITH SOMEONE ELSE'
I take it to the truck, come back, 'They were too heavy for me yeah? :D'

Would be nice to be noticed as a considerable contribution. Oh well. Loved the exercise.

Yeah, yesterday's diet was good to begin with but around the middle of the day went down the crapper. I can't remember exactly what it included for some reason but I remember that it was shocking... That's weird though, for some reason I have NO recollection of what happened yesterday... Been probed? Maybe. lol

Today's been alright though, bit shabby here and there with timing but it hasn't been too bad. I still feel wrecked.

Hopefully I'll be up and running by tomorrow. Literally.

...With diet as well.

****...

I'm not gonna lie. Today wasn't that great.
Something came up in the afternoon and I was in the city for about 5 hours, it was either not eat or eat crap. Sigh.

On the bright side, I've been watching DBZ. Best. Motivator. Ever.

This was taken yesterday.
I'm still at the 32 inch mark, but I'm not content. Especially with the end of the comp next week. I PROMISE you, I'm gonna be doing a crapload of cardio... I swear, right now, I'm motivated to go to hell and back by Saturday week. I hope that motivation to add on a bit more cardio sticks.

Tomorrow, I'm going nuts.

Final note: F _ ck you depression.
