Anabolic Burst Continues

Though currently still in the deflating mode!

Have settled on 1600 calories, with a nasty 1800 slippage yesterday. Had lost over 4lb but gained some back yesterday, so currently only 2.4lb lost, that's after 8 days of low calories.

Calipers and Trusty Tape says virtually all of the 4+lb was fat, while a quick single-set workout showed my strength was the same so working in that sense. Today I'm going to hit the cardio twice, try and make up for that unexpected calorie intake yesterday. It's all very well to be romantic and talk of enjoying the local cuisine but fact remains there's just too much damn rice in the Malay diet.

8 days of low calories, losing a little here, a little there, ground away almost 4.5lb of flab, then ONE large meal with bloody rice and I'm back to where I was on day 3.

New Rule - fuck rice, I aint eating that shit no more, at least not a plateful of the damn white stuff. No vitamins, no minerals, no fiber, it's just a plate of sugar.

Asides from that, things going OK, though discovered something horrid about bran flakes which I was relying on for fiber. New Rule 2 - fuck bran flakes as well!

Normal and polite blogging will continue after the break...
