I would not say that this was an easy session but we got it so I’ll take it. Lack of sleep is a big problem. Staffing issues at work continue. Some in partner groups that I have no control over which makes work flows choppy.

Did not workout on Wednesday as I was photosensitive and did not want to risk a migraine. I did walk 4 miles though. Hope to do better today.

Weight: 189.2 bodyfat readings are good though.

Session went okay but removal revealed a pretty high tension.

Yesterday Dumbbell Bench Press:
70X10
85X10
75X15,10,8

Weight: 190.2

Yesterday I lifted weights for an hour and 45 minutes, ran 3.5 miles and walked 2.75 miles. I am doing a more traditional weight lifting program with more volume and I’m getting bigger and stronger. I thought I’ve been disciplined on the food but apparently not enough as my weight jumped above 190. The body fat reading was 20.9% so lean mass is climbing so we still only have to lose about 9lbs but I’m just not making any progress. First time in my life so thinking it’s age related and we just need to eat a little less. One of the issues I’m having is that I strained the hamstrings with the running. First the left which feels pretty well healed and more recently the right which needs a little more time. That has held me back on the length of the runs as I don’t want to impede healing. For now I’m going to do shorter more frequent runs and add additional walks to the week and reduce the intake. Will reassess in a week.

I do not like how I look.

It’s crunch time.

"Recovery time" usually goes up with age. You might need to add a day between work that loads the hamstrings.

Remember, squats and deadlifts work the hamstrings too. You might have overworked them by doing both running and lifting.

Ok session. Tension ramp up during cooldown was appreciable. Tension at removal not as bad as yesterday. Glans condition at end was good.

Weight: 190.6 @ 20.9% bodyfat.

Weight is a problem.

Dumbbell Bench Press

75X10
85X9
75X17

Did an abbreviated workout today, just enough to not lose ground, but I just didn’t have it as I was sleep deprived from a couple nights ago. Decided to just do a bunch of short walks today. already covered 4 miles, try to get 2.5 more later. I may change things up here soon, it’s been 5 months doing the same thing.

Nothing felt good this morning so kept it light to get the duration.

Walked 6.67 miles yesterday.

Weight: 186.2

I’m going to go on a cut. Slightly lighter weights with higher reps and sets to burn more calories. More running, more walking and just make sure I stay tight on the meal plan. I’m running out of time.

We are right on the edge here with the 96 half turns and with this new noose that is much more rigid. We’ll see if there’s anything left real soon. It’s really hard to compare because with this new noose the glans is held so much further forward in the cradle. Makes the argument for taking measurements for comparison. I am running out of enthusiasm for this campaign. I need to see some definitive progress in the next few weeks or I’m going to call it..

Weight:186

Thought about it and I’ve decided to definitively start the Summer cut. Will switch to somewhat lighter weights and more volume to burn calories and ramp up the running to what ever degree I can and supplement with walking until I fully ramp up the running.

I saw the wife of that buddy of mine that had the affair. We mostly talked business, but I did ask here how she’s doing, adding she seems to be doing well. She decribed herself as shattered, disjointed but said things will get better. I think that she didn’t break down was pretty good.

No slippage today so better than yesterday but tension still rather high at removal. Glans condition very good at end of session.

Weight: 185.6

Ran 11.6 miles yesterday, basically as slow as I could just to cover the distance. Dehydrated still so the weight is artificially low. We’ll see how things go from here.

I little rough at the end after a day off.

I have a dinner this Friday and then nothing till June 1st. Also have the weekend off. Hamstrings are recovering well from the Friday’s long run so should be able to put the hammer down from here.

Lots of running. lifting and fucking. Got to get my priorities straight.
