@Dunstone I reckon I'll go snakes or sour patch, or sour skittles devastating to see it ever dwindling lol I feel your pain, I love my breakfast I make but I reduced the amount of eggs and bread and it's sad to look at

I'm currently at 2280 calories for the week and anticipate reducing my intake by another 200 calories over the weekend. For my meals, the plan should look like to have 25g of cereal for meal 1 and will focus on zero-carb options for meal 4. Additionally, I'll be using pumpkin as the carbohydrate source for meals 2 and 3. Unless my coach is feeling kind .

@Dunstone oof that looks rough, 25g also just under typical serve. Worth it in the end of course but still, hope he's kind lol, any idea what your floor for calories is over the cut or just decided as you go?

 

[Dunstone]

I'm probably going to bottom out around 1850 calories. The plan is for a 10-12 week deficit phase, which started in week 2. So two more calorie drops in the next 5-6 weeks. I think about 6kgs to come off hopefully leaving me around 92kgs. About 2kgs heavier than last comp. Then, a 4-week maintenance phase to grow into the end of the comp.

Ahh cool not too much lower to go then that's good. Nice I hope you do a side by side of each year that'd be cool

@Dunstone seriously impressed with your planning and execution for this comp, you whole heartedly deserve to win this (again!). I look forward to the day my kids are self sufficient and require far less support, and I can aim to get somewhere near to your execution.

I truly appreciate the sentiment! It certainly helps to minimise distractions and keep my focus sharp. A touch of selfishness or self-centeredness is essential in a competition like this, and navigating everything around it can be quite the challenge. We are surrounded by incredible individuals in this competition who are all putting in immense effort to reach their unique goals, which makes this journey all the more inspiring!

I feel fortunate to have worked with the same coach for several years. Throughout this journey, we have faced various challenges while experimenting with different strategies to determine what works best for me. It's essential to recognise that this process is ongoing, and this time, we've opted for a more measured approach to calorie reduction compared to my preparation for the 2024 competition. Additionally, we've incorporated a small base of performance-enhancing substances to support my progress.

So we'll see, each week tick the boxes:
- Follow the meal plan,
- Increase RPE inline with the Mesocycle
- Get the steps
- Do the cardio

Finally, I want to make sure I’m open and clear about my process for everyone who takes a moment out of their busy day to read my posts. That time means a lot to me!
