I am just in the process of making sure that I have everything documented from this attempt of cutting my body fat. I have all my diet plans and exercise noted down, although I haven’t gone into specifics with weight lifted in the gym as that is not my priority at the moment and would distract me from what my main goal is.

I have a large amount of pages/posts to make public in less than 2 weeks time. As for now, I just need to carry on with what I’m doing and next week I can see if I have had a better attempt at cutting than I did this time last year.

I have to remember that BodyPower is just around the corner and the very last thing I want to do is be lethargic and tired throughout the weekend we are there. I have to have energy and I really don’t think I would have energy if I cut right up to that weekend. This is why I have set my goal date to the 3rd of May to give me plenty of time to eat and fuel up ready for then.

Just one week left of my set diet plan, cardio plan and then the 100% effort can be reduced to maintain my weight (or carry on cutting after BodyPower). I really can’t believe how much excess fat I had January. I set out to lose around 10 pound and be cut. I know how wrong I was now to think this, but I hope to have a better understanding next year of cutting.

I just want to better myself with knowledge and actually changing my body through different ways to see how my body reacts to the changes with food and exercise. I have made many mistakes throughout the years I have been trying to better myself, but I have always gave 100% with the knowledge I have had at the time. I’m sure this time next year I will look back at this post/cut and realise just how little I knew just now. At least I won’t look back and say that I didn’t give it 100% though! (to the knowledge I have at this moment in time)

I know I can ask/pay others to guide me along my way, but I really feel that this sport is something I need to learn for myself. I’m in no rush as such to a final destination. I have chose a sport with a path that has no end, I have a passion to set goals and better myself. I have never failed to better myself along the journey, even if I have had to learn the hard way.

I wanted to go on steroids, I am all for steroids, I just don’t think I am ready yet…

One more week…

Edit – I have needed to ask for help several times through this cut and sometimes I wish I had done. I am currently in the process of thinking about doing a carb deplete and carb load next week for experience. I’m not sure what to do on this and so I have just gone with my instincts and planned my meals down on paper ready for when/if I chose to do this. I don’t see any harm in at least trying to drop some water weight and increase the glycogen in the muscles…
