Day 3 of a planned 5 day ‘no solid food’ fast
Blood sugar 96 mg/dL
Yesterday was the hardest 🏋🏾 weightlifting workout I have ever had in my life. I wanted to maintain my 200 lbs Squat, Deadlift, and Shrug workout I started doing on Sunday. However, on Sunday I was in the middle of a 4 lbs ‘unintentional bulk’ and I had plenty of energy. Last night I was 48 hours fasted. I could barely make it through all my sets. I did it, but barely, and I was grunting and sweating like never before. They say 💪🏾 “no pain no gain” well I put in the pain 😊
This morning I plan to do a 🏃🏾 5 mile run and drink Green Tea and 🥛 protein shakes. I just want to get back to 169 lbs.
📉 My goal is still 163 lbs (my BMI weight), but for some reason anything above 170 lbs annoys me. I am sooo annoyed I gained 4 pounds in the past 3 days! Seriously! Really?? I needed to do that? Why? (Sigh) So this weekend I have to go low carb so I don't gain back any loses during the week. I may go to the gym Saturday AND Sunday (rather than the normal Sunday) only to give myself something to do other than eating 😊
👶🏾 Ok enough ‘bitching and moaning’. 📈 The first time I was 170 lbs in my adult life was in July. The highest I have risen since then is 178 lbs. I am actually 🧘🏾♂️ really happy to have 170 lbs as my ‘average weight’. For the past 20 years my ‘average weight’ was 220 lbs. 8 years ago, right before I joined Fat Secret, I was 245 lbs.
😎 Life is Good! Have a great day everyone!

you do know your muscles replacing your fat weigh more right?? you have gained muscles this month so you may find the more muscle you pack on the less chance you have of going down to 163 without losing your muscles to do it.
Sorry it was such a struggle but maybe from what I here others say, when you push through those things you actually tear more and build more muscle. Be good to yourself

@baskington - I HOPE that I have increased my muscle mass so much that it accounts for my increased weight :) And I also hoped my hard workout was causing 'tears' that would produce the bulk I desire :) However, my workout Thursday will be over 100 hours of <20 carbs a day... I may drink a milkshake before my workout. This keeps me to 'no solid food' but gives me the carbs I 'think' I need to make it through te workout. We will see, I haven't decided yet...

Of course you have increased your muscle mass - one of those laws of physics or something :) Enjoy your day and take all the wins you have and just be proud of yourself!! You deserve it!!

I think you need to eat or drink a lot of that stuff before your next workout. You have to feed your muscles for them to repair and build. it is that simple. whether you do it with liquid a(PROTEIN) or do it with a nice big juicey steak you really need to give your body the energy that calories provide to repair themselves and build up.

@baskington - I always take a huge hit of protein in heavy cream before a workout, but that barely got me through my last workout. Gonna need to 'carb-up' to get through the next few sessions :) After that I will switch back to just the protein drinks on non-eating days. I can't have steak on a non-eating day! :)

@chrisw77 - You're just being rational :) Being obese for 30 years doesn't allow for any of that! :)

@nikeit - Thanks! One unanticipated result of my muscles growing is that I now have a stronger desire to lose more body fat so I can see the 'definition' better.

Adef, I read the at the start of low carb / ketogenic diet, your muscle glycogen will be depressed; but by about 6 months, it's back to normal because the body figures out to make it from non-carb sources. So I wonder if you really need to carb up for a work out? Just sayin'

Maybe you need to eat earlier, to allow your body to process the protein and HWC to fuel your workout!

you lift. BMI is worthless.

@Diablo360x - I agree. When I get bigger I will have an easier time accepting it.

@gz9gjg - For whatever reason I just feel weak and under the bar without the carbs.

you are learning that you need more fuel before weight lifting and that is a good thing. the body does not care on weight lifting day that you personally don't want food, it does want fuel however you decide to give it in order to not be weak under that bar.
