I can’t recommend the treat/cheat day enough. Takes the edge off and you can reward yourself for being so good. Drawback of course is that you can get carried away. The next morning on the toilet can be lengthy.
Is every 2nd day too frequent for a cheat day?
Just go every day fat boy. Enjoy life. Being lean is overrated.
It’s all about being happy and content. I do the exercise and clean eating thing because it makes me happy and feel good. It gets me through the day. It’s much much more about mental health than being ripped etc.
It’s what floats your boat. Others may get the same feeling from good food, beers, wine, good company or hobbies. To each their own.
Just don’t whinge like a little bitch when you have the power to make changes but still don’t do anything about it.
Talk about a post of two halves.
I'm a nice guy, each to their own, just try and be happy.
Bitch.
The bitch part is for those who complain and do nothing.

weekends are the challenge
people over for dinner friday. slightly over my calorie count, but only ate rotisserie chicken and salad. the 2 glasses of red pushed it over
Saturday was a pre-planned cheat day. Schooners at the races all arvo. stuck to midstrength beer in a token gesture. steak and salad for dinner. I did burn 900+ calories at F45 that morning for balance.
Back on eating plan yesterday
But shit it's hard when you are having a lazy sunday at home. I would usually snack. and drink. and cook something awesome for dinner. I got kinda bored, and had to physically restrain myself.

fuck you Tom Brady

Note to Self: Doing F45 on Thursday morning, playing touch Thursday night, and then F45 again Friday morning, may be over doing it on a reduced calorie diet. I was wrecked this morning.
And it may have contributed to the fact that when i jumped on teh scales this morning, the first number was a 7. first time in a very very long time. I think i need to eat more

Been there. It’s a very fine line when you train that much and have a low calorie input. I found an extra half breast of chicken for meals helped and one steak meal. But obviously everyone is different.

Those servo protein bars serve a purpose at times too, 45grams per bar in some cases.

Those Musahi ones with like 1.4g of sugar are great.

it won't seem like much to some, but
i did 8 wide grip pull ups this morning. full extension, slow tempo. i was pretty stoked. only 5 in the next set after a rest. and then 3. and then i had the bands for some assistance.
to show how much easier they are, i did 12 under-hand pull ups on Tuesday.

My Instructor wants me to be able to do one by the end of the year.

@mariner4life Nice!
I havent seen how many I can do, but when I do 5 sets of 7, the 1st 2 sets I do without a resistance band.
Such an awesome exercise!

with 7 days of the challenge left, i have managed to stuff my back doing deadlifts. So no training until at least Saturday i reckon. Hardly ideal.
getting old really does absolutely fucking suck.

Careful of the tendonitis with pull ups, THAT fucken sux when you get that. I had to battle through a set recently cos the other half was watching. I only get it with pull ups as opposed to chins for some reason and only in my weaker ( right ) arm. Deep Heat and a bit of rest seem to fix it though.

I haven't see a number beginning with 7 on my scales for decades. You must be single digit fat percentage?
Reminds me I should get a dexa scan.
