Nothing wrong with taking a diet break, eating around maintenance to allow your body to recover and re-sensitise then hitting it again. Can’t go hard constantly.Been fighting off a cold / flu past couple days so been in quarantine. Did a light 45m walk around the block instead.

Walking - 45m
Thinking about taking a break from the cut for a while. I feel like I've been getting run down and now sick. Might just jump back on the calories and enjoy the extra fuel again for a bit.
True that. Also being older I think I need to be a little more forgiving on myselfNothing wrong with taking a diet break, eating around maintenance to allow your body to recover and re-sensitise then hitting it again. Can’t go hard constantly.
100% brother! Unfortunately none of us can stay young forever and goals take longer and are more difficult to achieve as we age. That being said can still push to achieve them but as you said need to be more forgiving on yourself and also more patient I guess.True that. Also being older I think I need to be a little more forgiving on myselfcan't take the abuse like when I was 20.
Hope you feel better soon brother! The change in weather from warm to cold always messes me up.Still battling a head cold. But managed to get a walk in. Getting the shits with not being able to hit the gym.

Yeah I'm just getting a bit impatient. My original deal with my self was to reach 90kg before even considering a cycle. Will stay the course. Just having a whinge.Don't rush it imo. Get a bit leaner + hold your strength... then run it. You’ll get way more out of your cycle.
Good to hear brother!We...are...back! Felt deflated and shit but we are back
Calories have been low past couple days because I've been sedate as ****. Have broken through my 96kg platue though and came in at 95.5 the past 2 days. It's probably the pseudo. I've been smashing the fluids but just constantly thirsty.
