Despite the lack of love life, that was a great day
Makes sense to start posting my daily weight (once a week feels too vulnerable to fluctuations) considering my goal so i’ll start doing it. I weight myself right after peeing upon waking up but i don’t always eat dinner / stop drinking water at the same time each day so it’ll fluctuate a but. I didn’t start lifting weights again that long ago too so despite the huge calorie deficit theres most likely muscles gain too. Anyway daily weight : 59.4 kg
Had an okay night of sleep, about 6 hours and a half. A little less than 7 hours but i napped later in the day so the sum was good
Read a bit of my current self help book after the morning coffee, then headed for the gym. Had a good chat with a chill guy around my age in the subway station but was a little too shy to take his number. Oh well. Had an amazing workout, felt strong and in high spirits, made progress on every lift. My bench press is def lagging a bit behind my squat but its probably only because i’ve got strong legs (my squat is not far behind my deadlift at all). Chose to skip the hill sprints, the state of my legs in yesterday’s tennis match made me realize i’ve really been doing too much of those. I play a lot of tennis, walk a good amount, always stay at a big calorie deficit, really don’t need that much HIIT to burn calories. I like them for the speed building aspect for my tennis skills but once a week is plenty, would be a good opportunity to add a refeed day too ; havent been adding them to my diet yet but i’ll give it a try either next week or the one after. Not fully sure if i’ll do once a week or once every 2 weeks yet, probably every 2 weeks until I lose just a little more weight
Cooked lunch after the gym and went immediately for a 1 hour nap, felt great. After that I focused on my biggest goal of the day : getting started on the job hunting. Kinda wanted the online dating to be doing slightly better than this before getting started but I really can’t afford to be that broke anymore, and having my own place seems like the best move for my sex life (i’m cool with roomates for a bit tho, at least it’s way easier to confess to girls than ”i live with my parents at 25”). I really want coaching here too and thats not realistic with the current financial situation so thats another reason to get started now. Ended up sending 5 resumes today, which was actually really hard with my current hardware. Took well over 1 hour. Settled with making it a habit of sending 3 resumes a day for the time being, will add more based on results.
Did some household chores for an hour after that then dedicated the rest of Sunday to relaxing (Youtube, video games, going to watch a movie with my mom later tonight). Feeling really good about my day overall, was productive, got all the stuff I planned done.
Spent time on dating apps throughout the whole day ; swiping on my way to the gym and back home, at lunch, in the afternoon but had 0 results today. Getting my sd card back tomorrow so i’ll work on re-shooting 1 of the photo in the afternoon
Seems like a good time to reflect on the week so :
-dating / social : the dating is hard to evaluate considering the last few days have been rough but I got my first real lay (and kiss) this week, i’d be insane not to consider the week a massive success on that alone. Nowhere near the point where I can get dates on a consistent basis but I do know what I need : keep being that consistent on diet and exercise until elite body status, keep working on improving at photography (will start carrying my camera around more frequently, not necessarly with that heavy tripod all the time too, taking pics of nature, architecture ect will help developping my global skills so that’ll help for sure) and spend more time working on overall style (havent been looking enough at the guys who are doing the things i’m not successful at yet but will now, copying is a good way to learn). I’ll succeed. My social life is really looking optimistic too, really clicking with the guy I met from tennis, plans to go the movies together next week and hang out together more often. Texted the guy I randomly befriended in the street and we’ll go for a drink once he returns from holidays, things are improving for sure
-Diet / exercise / health : things are perfect here, been perfectly consistent with workout, tennis and my 2 healthy meals a day w good macros. It wasnt that long ago that I was binge eating all the time and addicted to dominos but frankly i don’t have cravings anymore, surprised but not complaining. Sleep has bern rougher, went overboard with caffeine for days, had too much 5 hour nights but the last few days have been much better : had only 1 cup of coffee 2 days ago and slept 8 hours, had 2 cups yesterday and slept almost 7 hours (+ a noon nap). Had 2 cups today, I doubt thats too much but I did have 8 hours with only 1 so it might be ? Will drink only 1 tomorrow and compare my sleep on both days
Overall very happy with my week, the mood is great. Had the first legit lay of my life and with an attractive girl too, making a real friend and maybe more later, diet / exercise are flawless, sleep’s improving, just got back on the job hunt. Next week will be even better
