One of my sporadic updates:
Spent this last week up visiting my family in the north woods & then on to a 4 day convention where the meal food was horrible but the snack food was fantastic. Basically I hit almost all of my training & cardio, but completely destroyed my diet out of boredom, frustration and more boredom. So came home feeling fat & very water retentive.
Somehow, getting home and back to a regular & more me-in-control environment & schedule helped reset my frame of mind tho. Definitely feeling much more "in the zone" this week. Which is nice after being generally miserable in the gym & uninterested in teh diet for 2 months... May consider a show in August - but will determine this based on status in 3 weeks.
Per the trainer, started back on a brief "reset" of my metabolism to clean out the shit & get back on the ball. Two days of:
wake - 12 noon - fruits / veggies
12 noon - 32 g protein + 1 c veggies
2 pm - same
4 pm - same
6 pm - same
8 pm - same
<no more food for the night>
