Weigh in : 247 lbs.
Flat today.
If I don't drop some serious poundage in the next few days...
The target may be missed.
Time to double down.

Dropped another 2 lbs.
At last, we're gaining traction again.
This was what I weighed at Day 14, so I'm repairing the damage.
Last night was hard though, daughter made some delicious pancakes.
I was contemplating deleting this blog.
I made up a million excuses to burn away the fat with some dead lifts.
But as you might know by now, even the heaviest of dead lifts cannot out train your mouth.
Caloric density of foods is so high, out training them is like paying off your credit card with a pay check.
The double digit interest rates are stacked against the flat rate revenue.
So Yea, the pancakes? I didn't try them out. Another time.
I also found another fat burning tactic last evening which I have never ever read about before.
If it continues to work for the next couple of days, I might share it with yous.
No gym for now.
Let's see if we can reach a 6 pack by skipping a few gym sessions.
"After crosses and losses men grow humbler and wise" - Poor Richard's Almanack
Weigh in: 250 lbs
Dropped 3 lbs.
That was a 36 hour fast except for 1 serving of Bulletproof coffee & 4 liters of water.
If I don't maintain consistency in this fat burn, I won't hit my 6 pack target in 6 weeks.
Dayum.
"A lean award is better than a fat judgement" - Poor Richard's Almanack

Dayum.
"A full belly is the mother of all evil" - Poor Richard's Almanack
Weigh in: 249 lbs.
Gained a pound.
Afternoon binge.
"A full belly makes a dull brain" - Poor Richard's Almanack
Weigh in: 248 lbs.
Dropped 2 lbs.
Can't lose momentum now.
Here is the secret.
There is an appalling disconnect between the fat loss narrative and the actual effort required to burn fat while building muscle.
It is comparable to success literature or cross fit, where the process takes precedence over results.
Results matter.
KPIs in a fat loss journey is drop of fat %, and ultimately a 6 pack.
Not some personal record in cleans and presses.
Keeping on.

Gained back the pound.
Should've staved off the Magnum.
I hate ice cream. But thanks to the program, it tasted so good.
We have a situation.
We are already 2 weeks into the journey.
The whole weight loss outcome is botched at best.
Only 6 more weeks to go.
I'm at least 37 lbs away from a 6 pack.
We need to build a little more momentum into the regimen.
And some menu engineering.
Onward...

Skipped gym, got busy at work and ate too much chicken.
Today is cheat day because of an unexpected social event, looks like tomorrow gonna be a weight gain.
We'll cancel the upcoming cheat day on the weekend to make up for this impending damage.
Let's roll.
