Quick Reminder ๐๐๐

Diet changes ๐๐๐
Calories haven't changed much. I still keep eating around 1000 calories not counting vegetables which is mostly chicken as a protein source and almonds as fat source. The only thing I started experimenting with is vegetables. To every meal I add a lot of them, lately I love tomatoes, broccoli, pickled cucumbers, peppers, mushrooms, green beans. So yea in reality I'm probably eating around 1200-1300 calories counting vegetables. I found out that I need more vegetables to feel good both physically and mentally and I made a decision to not limit myself on them too much. I also need to let you know that in past 3 months I had one more cheatday! It means eat whatever I want without any limits. I'm trying to have a day like that every 1-2 months to reset my brain. I wouldn't be able to diet for 8 months straight without having those "mental reset days". It really helps to keep going.

My thoughts ๐ค๐ค๐ค
Lately I started to see veins on my biceps, and I'm really happy about it, I can also see that the waist is way smaller. The biceps pose seems to be improved too. I can see much more details. It looks like I'm definitely making a huge progress but I'm still not where I want to be. The question is how long I can keep up with 1000 calories. Its really not healthy to do this for 8+ months and I can feel that I'm tired. Sometimes my brain is completly off and lagged. I also made a blood tests and my testosterone level went down by a lot due to keeping low calories for such a long time. I wanted to see my 6pack but I'm afraid its not going to happen this year. I plan to lose 4 more kg's (go down to 60kg) and then up my calories to 2000 + go back to the gym and try to build some muscles. Instead of losing weight I will try to focus on building muscles, building strength and most important thing I will try to keep the weight in a range of 60-65. After couple months of eating properly I'm gonna do next "cutting cycle" where I try to get the 6pack for real. That should be a reasonable goal and good decision for my body and health. I will make sure to keep you guys updated about my fitness journey. Thanks for reading/upvoting/commenting and stay tuned for more posts!
