I am a complete mess. I am thoroughly depleted. I am running on fumes.

Today’s scheduled workout was the first of the two depletion workouts, designed to empty out any remaining glycogen. I’m pretty sure it’s already gone but I’m willing to give it a few more days of pain to be sure I’ve wiped it all out. It was a hard workout and VERY long. It actually took me several hours to muster up the energy to enter the gym, due to a lack of energy and motivation. The remedy was a bucket load of stimulants. I had some Beta Alanine, L-carnitine and a shake of a double espresso, 100 ml coconut milk and whey isolate. It worked! I believe it was the MCTs in the coconut milk. That stuff always perks me up.

Once again I kept the food strict, with low carb and low calorie. The day totalled 1600 calories, and left me constantly hungry.

The whole day has been pretty awful to be honest. I’m always hungry and severely lacking in energy. But more importantly I am looking marginally better than last week. 6 days left…..
