BW:80.1kg / 176.59lb (LPR)

Ok so this is the lowest ive weighed since coming home. But ive been eating like shit lately. hotdogs, meatballs, loads of chips/fries and last night m&ms. I think ive been grieving the end of a promising relationship even before it blossomed. She went MIA since the weekend and she hasnt been returning my messages. I take the writing on the wall for what it is, occam's razor doesn't permit any other interpretation at this juncture. I knida know that im not going to find someone else like her unless i leave this city for greener pastures. So it's loss in the sense of what it means in the long term. I am going to end it with the younger girl too, i dont want to lead her on, theres no future there, 9 years is a huge gap. So yeah single again. Time to turn to training to fill the void. I'm back on the chicken breast and oatmeal wagon as of today!

Occam's razor is proof of nothing and even still it is useful only for matters regarding models of the physical world. 

Occam's razor should never be applied for matters of the heart.  She hasn't returned a few texts.  Don't harass her or send her any fatalistic or final text about how she hasn't returned them and thus you assume the worst.   But do assume something.  Assume something that puts you both in an extremely positive light and leave it alone without finality in your head...

Assume that you are awesome and she saw that and she is awesome as well... But she is going through something or perhaps is a little apprehensive about meeting a man so amazing...  Believe this.  She might not text you ever again... But then again maybe she will... And when she does you need to be the positive and optimistic guy she met - this can't be faked.   Don't burn bridges.  Don't put this on your shortcomings or her failings as far as not being respectful and getting back to you... If she 100% didn't like you she probably would have told you rather than disappeared in fear... Be you and post great IG stuff of dunks and believe something positive and you will be surprised how it pays off... 

This advice was given when I was young and was life changing for me... Had to share it with you.  Do with it what u want...

I'm going to lay off the low carb dieting now and do it in a more moderate fashion from here on. I want to stabilise at 174 with creatine -- so i think i need to make room for bout 2.5lb before I add in creatine? SOmething like that. I dont know.

Esp without creatine.

So did you decide not to use creatine at all? Any reason why?

Here a rough summary of how my workouts are looking for the coming week:

Mon: off
Tue: Lifts
Wed: off
Thurs: plyos: depth jumps /  jump squats,  full court bball game
Fri: off
sat: Lifts 
Sun: pickup bball

I need to figure out a way to include track work ..
but idk what day wud suit. Maybe thurs? hmmm.

Are you kidding?  Your already doing plyos Thursday. 

Monday.  Tuesday before lifts.  Sat before lifts.  Lots of options.  You gotta change your mindset when it comes to lifting though if you want to become a real athlete. 

The mindset is: "oh no if I sprint/bound/jump before lifting my squat will be weaker!" Unacceptable. 

First of all.  Are you a lifter or an athlete?

Second.  Maybe weaker but actually not much weaker because you will adapt.  Assuming you squat 200kg.  Maybe initially when you get in track work first that squat will go down to 180.  But you will adapt and be able to lift 95% as much post track. 

Third.  Who cares how much you lift.  Progress requires effort moreso than poundage.  So if you doing track and lifting and progressing your squat from 150-160-170kg vs avoiding track and going from 160-170-180 it's the same thing.   A month off track and you would "realize your gains" and squat almost as much as if u never did the track work.   Basically a track work normalized lift doesn't need to be as strong - the carryover is the same and the weight is safer.   Win win.

i would have easily been a LJ fan but the flopping just does not work for me.

if golden state was healthy, it would have been an easy 4-1 or 4-2 win for the warriors.

if golden state lost to OKC. it would have been a lot worst for cleveland. i don't see LB doing his points in the paint against the canter/adams/ibaka. but so hard to cheer for okc because westbrook is a bitch.
