dcDogz very normal log

171.9 another new low, down exaclty 2 for the week atm.

I am leaner / weigh less then we did in January by about 5lbs. Im bigger, eating a little more, dropping fat still, stronger, and no where near as fatigued as i was last cut. I am fatigued, but i have a little wiggle room to go for sure (just a little lol), ive felt worse!

Rest day

Chilling for a bit and heading to gym for AM cardio.

Then more of the same, steps plus Saturday foods.

Peanut butter + shrimp + drizzle of zero cal maple syrup is godly.

No bjj from here on out huge relief lol.
Shit was pretty exhausting atm.
I might show up for technique here and there but just depends on how I feel injuries dryness etc. More then likely nothing but
If schedule lines up ill stop by.

Priority is my body. Im def fatigued and in a weakened state lol.

How much cardio are you doing now?
 
171.9

soooo in all my infinite wisdom (i am retarded) i conducted and unintended experiment, i knocked out without taking my sleep meds
and had the worst sleep ever lol. so i guess they are doing something. good to know i guess.

throughout all this have learned quite a bit. I didnt realize hadnt taken them and just passed out.
interestingly enough, i got maybe 3.5, 4 hours, but what tipped me off was when i was getting ready my physique looked a little off. like i was holding water or retaining, or soft?
idk ive gotten used to how i look so i looked at myself in the mirror and it hit me oh shit i didnt take my meds. left them right on the bedside counter. woops.

oh well learned something i guess.

either way i didnt feel totally terrible and had a pretty damn good push, injury free as well. strength still holding pretty good! surprisingly. i do feel strength cracking on some lifts here and there but for all intents and purposes still pretty strong and dont feel super weak even with an injury and shitty sleep. Besides deloading a little on tricep movements everything was tip top and i overloaded on decline press 5lbs on the last set.

driving to work and now here at work i feel pretty bad but we'll get it done.

cardio completed already post lift.

this is how fucked i am, i thought all week i had a posing session today, uhh its tomorrow lol. all good i guess since i was a little tired after lifting and that shit is wicked hard.

not much i can do about sleep so i can only control what i can control, so might as well just lean into it i guess like with the hunger.

day 3 bad sleep lets go! 🫠
i was super pumped to get better sleep as well with some extra food but i fucked up so oh well maybe next time. I even took some extra precautions to get good rest ha. fuck me.

food today. surprise its the same, minus the 100 carbs.

Looks like 100g of carbs is the sweet spot for refeeds for now. From here on out sleep is as important as diet and training. Take a quick 30 min power nap during the day if you can when you have nights like that. Getting 4 hours of sleep will zap your energy quick. It's the only missing piece as everything is on point. I know you're doing your best just reiterating the importance.

its literally my number 1 priority atm. trying all i can.
im getting like even superstitious about it, have to put this sock on first, and then brush my teeth and then this next sock last time i slept better lol
im a fucking retard but im trying lol

strangely enough i dont feel too bad, last cut i felt way worse WAY worse. like 10times lol and i was 5-6lbs heavier and looked much worse but i guess at least i know the meds were doing something i was suspicious there was no point and thinking about trying something else so at least i know to keep on keeping on with them. they are doing their best too lol.
 
fuck its hot (95f feels like 105F lmao) already not even noon, got my steps in 12k for the day. interested to see my weight as well since no bjj not sure how it affects me.
i dont think much if at all personally i feel like im doing way more now with out it but well see.

Yeah, that’s the biggest lesson I learned on my last cycle. Lack of sleep will destroy you. Or it did me. It just f*cks everything up.

Yea im aware, believe me im trying lol but nothing moving the needle too much.

Yesterday basically deleted all carbs meal 2 and tossed them dinner to see if would help any. Didnt do much but maybe make me a little heavy, hard to tell getting the point where weight may not drop too much anymore, but gonna try again either way.

Still down 2.5 from last week roughly.

Slept about 5 last night and woke up feeling fucking good however. Night and day from yesterday for sure.

171.7

Today was a mega discipline day.
I was pretty demovitated and just felt kinda idk not really tired but lacking maybe energy? Gusto? Vigor?

Not sure how to explain it but basically didnt want to fucking be there lol

Either way, i knocked it outta the fucking park! Thanks mast/var.

Still was super solid just missing that aggression drive but cooked my quads and hams either way. Like really fucking bad.
Belt squats on deck and man i held that bottom so fucking hard. Teardrop wanted to explode.

Back movements were a little mid but still solid.

Actually got a few reps extra here and there and overloaded sldls and prone rows slightly ( due to tricep still being careful).

So all in all good stuff.

Overloading carbs again dinner, well gonna try. Despite not helping sleep much, i woke up pretty recovered at least.

What's your trouble sleeping? Going to sleep or staying asleep or just busy with life/kids/work and going to bed late and getting up early?

You can get a script for Trazadone pretty easily from Algo Rx. I just got one (have a bunch of generic from IndiaMart) b/c I have to take a drug test and didn't want a prescription to pop on it that I didn't have.

I am taking ramelton and doxepin since my problem is staying asleep not falling asleep.

I have trazadone but didnt work at all if anything kept me up.

luckily besides yesterday where i forgot to take the meds, the lack of sleep isnt affecting me daily toooo bad. yet...
i do drag a little here and there but every so often i take a nap here and there but energy wise im mostly okay, and since i workout early to begin with doesnt affect my training too much,
other then being in prep and pretty low cal atm.

just dealing with the standard fatigue here and there.

i think its just lack of food personally messing up, since as soon as we got here, sleep just fell off a cliff.

is what it is i guess. im checking off all the boxes i can at the moment and just controlling what i can. trying not to think about it too much and just keep on keeping on. all i can do!
 
small win yesterday

showed my daughter my vacuum and she went :oops: whoa!
youre really skinny daddy! lmao

i was like its gonna get worse girl!
waiting for deathface lol


im down to the last notch on my belt (down 4 notches), and nothing literally nothing fits.

usually wear a 32/33 on peak of bulk.

i could probably fit in size 26 atm.
 
170.1 😲

I saw it flash 169.9 for a sec! Lowest i have ever been since maybe elementary lmao

New low! Down almost 3.

Omg i had the best sleep ever last night. Wasnt lengthy but holy shit i feel so fucking great my goodness! Great rest day secured!

I got a little clever with it and came up with an idea 💡. Gonna go over it withna coach a little since kinda / slightly messed up check in just a tad. Small boo boo i didnt foresee heh.

Not a big deal i think. And i can plan around it if he needs more data :).

Knocking on wood so i dont jinx it and it fails tonight. Has happened before. 😆

And thanks to everyone for the sleep concern!

Just goes to show how important it is appreciate yall keeping me motivated!

Cardio done i had incredible amount of steps this week. Was super active busy despite lack of sleep. So kinda took it a little easy. Just a little. get me some proper recovery today. Planning on vegging out a little and cooking more skrimps. Ive had a loooooong week lol.

Same foods from tuesday!

Gonna get to work and formally check in with coach in an hour!

Feel great!
