RP, year two: maintenance, short cut, maintenance while training for a marathon. RP, year three: maintenance through the 2019 Open — then took a deep breath, hid the scale for six months, and trained for heavy strength while ‘eating to recover’ — FULLY aware that there would be another cut on the back side of that. (And here we are.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db7560bf06453761752f891/1586967929238-R69OTUDGUQQW5U84HQE3/Adjustments.jpeg Blog - Cut: Week 11 This is where we’re ending things. And while this statement is the epitome of more than one type of privilege — I feel physically and mentally WRETCHED on this paltry amount of food. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db7560bf06453761752f891/1587132082837-Z5E8USS4RE5774E4T8I8/IMG_5421.jpeg Blog - Cut: Week 11 By the numbers, I’ve shed roughly 12#. Better, I lost 3” off my waist and 3.5” off my bust (halle-freakin-lujah) — meaning I finally got my hard-fought C-cup back, while still managing to keep MOST of my butt. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db7560bf06453761752f891/1586633021704-FAAUMEDJCTAW85OVT5QX/CBD92C12-B63D-45C8-81B5-1767FA7B5E2E.jpeg Blog - Cut: Week 11 TOP LEFT: Day 1, with giant quad bruises from the Hero WOD I had done on my birthday two days prior. BOTTOM RIGHT: Day 69, in the final stages of moving out of my condo, with some baby obliques (and a much better tan ). https://www.showyourwork.net/blog/cut-week-10 monthly 0.5 2020-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db7560bf06453761752f891/1586533514523-I4SCP6EORE2GIQG0GP41/IMG_5327.png Blog - Cut: Week 10 I will NOT be checking daily numbers like this once I’m back at maintenance calories — but my instinct is that anything in the 150-154# range will probably feel pretty comfortable as far as a long-term sweet spot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db7560bf06453761752f891/1586361297283-G0B3MX0A9CE019W2DSE7/Adjustments.jpeg Blog - Cut: Week 10 #noracknoproblem — was ‘forced’ to PR my power clean (150#) in order to hit my heaviest set of 5 front squats. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db7560bf06453761752f891/1586360347656-9LFT4XOYJWCPPRCPALCW/8F4F2998-F88F-4ED9-9003-04ACA8CECCAB.jpeg Blog - Cut: Week 10 April 2019 vs. April 2020. I’m ten pounds heavier on the right.

When I posted this to my cutting companions in the ‘secret’ RP ladies’ group, the response was “if I had your muscles, I’d stop cutting!” While that certainly made me feel good, I was also quick to correct them — MASSING is what built this, NOT cutting! https://www.showyourwork.net/blog/cut-week-1-part-ii monthly 0.5 2020-02-09 https://www.showyourwork.net/blog/cut-week-1 monthly 0.5 2020-02-08 https://www.showyourwork.net/blog/loneliness monthly 0.5 2020-01-21 https://www.showyourwork.net/blog/singledom monthly 0.5 2019-12-29 https://www.showyourwork.net/blog/nutrition monthly 0.5 2019-12-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db7560bf06453761752f891/1576146427706-AGI08H3P65QQG05UTRGT/0ED63BB6-6E82-4F72-B9F6-30D7B4664D59.jpeg Blog - Officially sponsored by sweet potatoes, bananas, and Swedish fish. [LEFT]: a Wednesday (rest day) from two weeks ago, where I didn’t eat enough the day before. You can see the higher (orange) strain and the comparatively disrupted sleep (higher blue spikes even at rest). [RIGHT]: yesterday, also a Wednesday rest day. I’d had a rough-feeling few days, then ate 4000 (!) calories on Tuesday, and immediately started feeling better (note the ‘low’ blue static in the wee hours of Wednesday — that’s some resultant great sleep!). https://www.showyourwork.net/blog/cycle-tracking monthly 0.5 2019-11-24 https://www.showyourwork.net/blog/letdown monthly 0.5 2019-11-17
