Papa's XXX Shots - Ready for the cut!

• Pink and Whites
• Bag of Haribo
• Bag of wine gums
• Bag of Tangfastics
• Several Bottles of coke
• Lots of sushi
• Lots of spicey rice
• Lots of sugary jelly and sweets

Forgot to have toast and jam tho  Which sucks.

Why is everything based on sugar?

That sounds like the carb up day from hell!! I cant stand haribo and sweets....

Bread and potatoes is my downfall.

Because simple sugars tend not to carry fat with them (check out harbio, virtually zero, starchy carbs generally do come with more fat) and I'm refilling glycogen into the muscles, not having snacks I can't eat for the rest of the week.

Sad but true.

Proper hardcore then...

Its only a comp mate.. haha

I dont have anywhere near that sort of dedication, if i was wearing a hat i would be taking it off right now.

LOL cheers

TBH, its not the shape up comp that bothers me, its me proving myself I can make the grade and come in, in BBing comp shape or near as damn it.  Its also a process of me finding how far out I would need to be to cut myself to make me ripped. 

ATM I am figuring about 14 weeks, so I may miss the shape I want by 2 weeks as i'm getting leaner and leaner but with just 6 weeks remaining, I get the picture that by 27/6 i'll be cut, but not quite ripped .

It'll be good to see the finshed article mate!

Argh - currently weighing around 16 stone 5lbs - put on 4lbs of water thats not shifting so far - should drop about thursday.  This weeks refeed i'm gonna halve the refeed amount and see how I get on - maybe i'm overfeeding...

Have droped adex and started letro @ 2.5mg E4D (On Mon/Thur) to see if the adex isn't controlling my bloat - doesn't seem to have done anything.

Ab's are feeling it atm - doing a mixture of upper, lower and oblique exercises throughout the week - feeling tender!

Not very impressed with some snaps I took for half way progress

look aright to me mate

Conditioning is poor tho - I really cannot work out why I am holding more water now than I was before?!

Well looks honk to me!!  

Have you been tanning up? 

Yep - bought a cheap sunbed for the spare room and used a little mt2.  They are the best pictures - some seem just ordinary!  Mind you, guess the lighting sometimes doesn't help and flattens everything out!

Guess I expected to be more cut than I am, considering how ultra tightly i've been following the diet - I seriously haven't cheated once on this cut.

Cheers Fi.

I can really see myself looking back over your journal and copying your keto diet at some point Papa. I did the atkins diet for a while a few years ago and lost a significant amount but since i went back to a badly planned diet with portion sizes that would have been maybe 20% too big it all just went back on again slowly over a few months.

Since i am training more, exercising more, and being more careful over my diet i can see myself keeping any weightloss i could make through something as hardcore as what you have been doing.

I really am impressed with how well you are doing. There are always going to be doubts and thing you aren't happy with - but i really think you can look back to your very early pics and just see what enormous progress you have made.

Thumbs up mate - hopefully you'll make it to desmo and welshys bbq and then you can sit next to me and really know what it is like to be small not in the right way though haha. I'll get a t-shirt with "i'm with tiny ->" printed on it!

Thanks for the comments - always appriciated.  I realise progress has been made, and i'm doing well compared to a lot but it somehow doesn't feel the equal to what is being put in, is coming out.

BUT i'll keep my chin up, keep strong and push on for the next 5 weeks and smash the f|_|k out this fat and get where I wanna be.  And if I miss the end date, so what - still have the rest of my life to continue and get this fat off me so I can bulk whilst lean and get some quality gains and less fat!

Not sure what you make of this mate, but I've heard that the leaner you get, the more frequent your refeeds have to be. So perhaps you could try 4 days <30g carbs, 1 day 500g carbs, and repeat?

I don't think i'm lean enough for refeeds that quick but yet what you say is true. 

15 stone, 13.9lbs at the mo.  Just a smigin under the 16 mark.  Seems 2-3lbs has dropped since adding in more food to the diet.   Which is nice.

Added a tablesppon of Evoo this morning to some water.  Will do the same later to get my fats up.

How tall are you Papa?

Great dedication to the diet btw.  I followed something similar for a month or so last year but did it unassisted,  I felt so flat during the week, but then like you, probably over did it on the carb up which left me looking a bit watery.  I probably wasn't taking in enough water at the time tbh.  Anyway, hope you reach your goal as your dedication to the diet deserves it.

Is it possible to delete an old post. I was sober last night - 100%, but my last post reads like drunken unrequited bromance.

lol
