Kratos Posted March 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 Had an ass kicking leg workout last night. Since I was super warm after the workout, I decided to try some pull-ups. Set a new PR with 16 Pull-ups! 1 Quote "We will be the gods we choose to be, not those who have been" - Kratos (God of War 2018) Current Challenge | Previous Challenges: 3 2 1 Active Quests: 17% body fat: ⏹️ 18% body fat: ✅ 30 Days: ✅ 14 Days Intermittent Fasting: ✅ 7 Days Intermittent Fasting: ✅ 200 pounds: ⏹️ 205 pounds: ✅ 210 pounds: ✅ 20 Unassisted Pull ups: ⏹️ 14 Unassisted Pullups: ✅ 8 Unassisted Pullups: ✅ Link to comment

I'm really craving it right now since I've had about 3 sleepless nights in a row because my baby has the flu. But I'm holding strong. Gonna make it to the end of the challenge without folding. My weight is down today: 203 lbs and I'm thinking I've broken out of a plateau by increasing my daily caloric intake. I took a few days off my diet to eat regular and even a couple of more fatty and carby options like a burger or some pasta carbonara. I think it helped to boost my energy levels a bit as well. nicely done my man especially on the weight, i'm still struggling, especially lately. But at least i have improved in stretching! 1 Quote "A single spark of passion can change a man forever A moment in a lifetime is all it takes to break it" https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lpKBtgNBhB25X29RhKQVD5QgbYu0xAo3Bbfzpsj4YOc/edit#gid=0 - My Life Roadmap, updating Link to comment
Kratos Posted March 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Welp, earlier this week I decided to end my caffeine fast after two weeks. Turns out baby with flu keeping us up all night, day light savings and just life in general was too much for me to be able to be effective. So I started reintegrating caffeine into my days but at MUCH smaller levels. I feel waaaaay better than I ever did consuming 500 mg a day. Now I'm at like less than 120 mg a day. And it's actually working for me again which is nice. Way more cheerful and focused. I'm gonna keep trying to lower the amount I use day to day so that I eventually get to the points of having maybe the equivalent of a cup of coffee a day. In other new, I'm starting to incorporate calisthenics into my work outs. Treated myself and bought some wooden parallel bars for push ups, planches etc. Got my ass beat by some super fun workouts last night. For the next challenge I may start incorporating stress management techniques like meditation, prayer, mindfulness or something. I'm continuing to eat at a consistent calorie deficit and exercising daily, but I have not quite seen the change in the scale or body fat percentage in a few weeks. I'm toning up and getting stronger though. I'm wanting to hang in there for a few more weeks before altering my diet, but I may go back to intermittent fasting for a while. And hopefully taking care of my stress levels will provide some additional assistance to my weight loss goals. 3 Quote "We will be the gods we choose to be, not those who have been" - Kratos (God of War 2018) Current Challenge | Previous Challenges: 3 2 1 Active Quests: 17% body fat: ⏹️ 18% body fat: ✅ 30 Days: ✅ 14 Days Intermittent Fasting: ✅ 7 Days Intermittent Fasting: ✅ 200 pounds: ⏹️ 205 pounds: ✅ 210 pounds: ✅ 20 Unassisted Pull ups: ⏹️ 14 Unassisted Pullups: ✅ 8 Unassisted Pullups: ✅ Link to comment
