Ok, it isn't in the "crapper" as much as it is absurdly low vs. what it was 5 weeks ago. I plan to get more blood work done in 3 weeks (8 weeks off) and that way I can compare and contrast blood work that I had done at the point where I stopped my prep, 4 weeks later and then again 4 weeks after that. I typically take about 8 weeks for my rbc/hematocrit/hemoglobin to be well into normal range, so I anticipate that this will happen again this time, but we will see.
My weight is up, my waist is up and my titties are fat. I have taken pictures and will use them to contrast my condition when I am back in shape (when I go back to the gym) to prove that I am naturally a fatass and prove that it takes me quite an effort to stay lean all of the time. For some reason, people just can't seem to believe that I can get fat and get fat FAST. Conversely, I can get back into shape fast, as well, thankfully.
I am still avoiding the gym and not eating anything even remotely healthy. I drank a vitamin water today, but it was an accident; I thought it was Mountain Dew. Seriously, I did drink one, but it was only because I was out-and-about and thirsty, and the thought of regular water didn't sound too appealing. Spoken like a true fat ass or a regular person who doesn't workout... which usually is a fat ass.
Still eating once or twice a day, when I am hungry. This is usually later in the day or at night as I don't typically eat for 6-8 hours after I wake up. Here are some samples of my "diet" the last week or so and I have probably ordered UberEats 12 of the last 14 days:
today:
Lobster ravioli and lasagna with rolls and full flavor soda. Oh, and a cannoli - and I don't usually even like cannolis. That's all I ate today for 1 meal.
yesterday:
gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches (2) with fries and full flavor soda. 1 small bag of Snyder's pretzels.
day before yesterday:
2 CEO burgers (with bacon) from Burger Fi, fries and milkshake. I later ate the rest of my wife's burger, that she couldn't eat, and her milkshake because she fell asleep on the couch and then went to bed. In this house, if you don't eat all of your food, it is someone else's right to eat your food. That rule has been in effect in this house since about the time she went to bed. She was not happy about the new rule when she awoke in the middle of the night, but who drinks a milkshake in the middle of the night, anyway? Yes, fat people.
The 2 weeks before the above meal:
I can't recall, but it was high in calories and was delivered to my door so that my fat ass didn't have to burn any calories to go get it. I guess when you are out of shape, you just don't feel like getting dressed and going out. Honest admission.
I have been reminded in the last 5 weeks that I carry the large percentage of my body fat in my waist and hips, now. If I could delete my body from below my titties to my balls, I would look just fine. Everything in between, not so fine. Well, almost everything if you know what I'm sayin' (spoken in Will Smith's voice).
So, to recap: I feel like a fatass and look like a fat ass and yet still have not gone back to the gym. Maybe Monday; maybe not. I'll get there but just not yet. Maybe I'll shave tomorrow but probably not. I will brush my teeth, though, because I didn't today.
Brother, I gotta get back at it. *sigh*
