Post Workout Meal​

Made a few modifications so I could have some ketchup with my fries. That’s Whattaburger Spicy Ketchup Btw, the caviar of ketchups

Dinner​

Tacos! I’m a basic bish

Steps​

With the additional tracking of steps and reminders from my new step tracker watch, getting 10K steps in was easy.

Feeling antsy. Does anyone else wish they could lift all day? Really enjoying this first week.

Dieting isn’t too bad — hunger is pretty manageable and the food is tasty. Looking to make this the new normal after this cut. I was doing maintenance for a while on the app before this to get used to everything.

This little fitbit imitation is actually pretty dope. It also tracks calories and gives me periodic reminders when I need to move around. It also lets me put a bit of inspiration on the watch face, so I can always see it (more on that in a bit). It makes it super easy to time my rests during workouts cuz it has a workout timer too.

The template asked me for feedback for the first time, hence the little numbers in blue on the side. Here is what they mean:

So, I’m this case I wasn’t sore from the previous workout and I barely got a pump on my back biceps and chest. My triceps got a pump too, but they weren’t sore from Monday. The template used this feedback to futz with my volume the following week, so I expect to see the number of sets boosted significantly next week.

Inspiration Porn​

I commissioned an experienced artist to do a 3 part progression from (then) current me to muscle bound hulk so I can hang them up in the house and put them places for inspiration. I also put the middle iteration on my watch face so I’m reminded of what I’m shooting for every moment of every day.

It’s kind of embarrassing, cuz the left most me is pretty much what I looked like pre-bulk last summer. I’m a bit bigger and fatter now, but this is the closest thing you’re getting to a photo of me until I’m comfortable showing off my results. When I do, I’ll be sure to post a before photo.

Either way, only a handful of people have seen this or know it exists. I thought I’d share it as an example of things I’m doing to motivate myself. I hope someone finds this example useful, despite how odd this is. I’m betting I’ll get some interesting responses posting this here.

Without further adieu:

Whoops! Missed a meal yesterday. I ran a dope series of pickup games of Overwatch with my gaming org last night and then went to bed without dinner.

Here’s what my current progress looks like:

Hah naw, I’m not a significant player in the corporate world. There are so many people working on small things lots of things never make it to the public. Half my work has been thrown to the side just cause varying reasons. Its the corporate society, and I don’t take anything personal.
