KLEEN LIVING - A log about Life, Training, and Nutrition.

The AI just removes the personality from the log, just my opinion.

Looks like some great work and always a great time on date night!

Speaking of the Alani, whatever the Halloween flavor like witches brew or whatever, bucked up has a preworkout Halloween edition that tastes very similar and probably the best tasting preworkout I have ever tried.
 
I can read the AI breakdown, but it just feels like a lot of ass-patting word salad. I definitely prefer your own breakdown of your training.

“High-volume” “excellent” “intense” as if this program has any idea what constitutes any of those things from experience. I mean the way it tries to pump up the user so you like it more becomes a bit patronizing.

Now the nutrition, I do think that is tidy & useful output. We don’t need that often obviously , but when you want to share it, that’s easy to parse and valuable. Makes it easy to get a feel for your reload day.

Don’t beat yourself up over the cheesecake. At least it was a great experience, the food & reason. You’re right back on the horse & have a plan to counterbalance.
Yeah, that is what I kind of felt about it, and it really didn't save that much time after I cleaned it up a little. Plus, it just loses the "me" in it.

So yesterday I just took my walk, and did some work around the house to stay active. Let myself relax a little bit, and then had my only meal at about 8PM it was about 10oz of 90/10 ground meat with veggies, drained twice while cooking to get rid of as much fat as I could without actually rinsing the meat. I will only rinse if doing a soup or casserole otherwise the taste is just to bland and bad consistency.

Sounds good, I agree it removes the personality which is part of what we all come to share in our logs. Plus as @Hyde so well put it, it is a bit patronizing to make people want to stay engaged but for a lot of us we don't just want our asses kissed. Especially by a tool we just want to use with out all of the siccophancy. I have kind of gotten good at ignoring it a bit when using AI. That or telling it how to deal with me, but it tends to fall back into default mode a lot. Where it is A kissing my ass, or B, will just repeat what I said in different words if it thinks I am upset with it even if it still thinks I am wrong. I noticed that and asked it point blank and it was like yes, I do that , it is in my programming to avoid conflict. UHM... Truth is kind of important to me. So it still takes a lot of guiding.

My plan for today is pretty simple, low calories... build the deficit. I am at a minimum going to fast until lunch time, then either do some cardio, or a quick and light full body session at a pace that rivals cardio. Deplete some carbs and maybe even push a tabatta or 2 just to get some EPOC going. Nothing enough to drive growth, but enough to increase circulation, and use up some energy. Afterwards I will decide if I am going to eat some more ground beef and veggies or just wait for the evening and decide if I want to fast overnight or just do OMAD. I may try to hit up my Synthriders or some boxing tonght on the Quest VR.

Morning Weight 211.5 - down 2.5lbs, hoping after another tight day today I can touch down under 210 tomorrow, but we shall see.

You're killing it!! I need this right now. I definitely need to reel in some balance and a little more discipline in my own nutrition and your log is starting to help me redirect a bit. at the world series watch party last night I definitely ate junk, but I toned it down a lot. it was buffet style and the options were nachos, hot dogs, or chicken wings. So I skipped the dog, did have some chips cause, chips, and piled it high with beef and beans and two wings. (Plus an IPA). so definitely a cheat meal but but less damaging without the dog, cheese, etc I think. oh yeah and some salty peanuts, I was salty this morning lol!
 
It is pretty cool how we all kind of feed off one another here and when one of us starts making strides towards a goal all of us get more motivated to make progress of our own. The community helps with accountability just by being around people who are working toward goals. When you can be around people like that it brings you up.

They say you will find yourself starting to behave like your 5 closest friends or people you spend time with. So for us being on here, we are hanging out with a huge group of supportive people all trying to better themselves. It is like they say, a rising tide lifts all boats, and we try to keep that tide rising around here!

man those are really good points, I didn't even think about the 5 closest friends quote, but thats true. my IRL lifting buddies are great guys who I love but they are not my accountability crew the way AM is.

Today I skipped the creamer, black coffee only. I have a zero calorie diet coke as a treat, plan to do fasted cardio and will finish my 20:4 day with family dinner at moms where I will likely have my wife's sourdough lol. but overall the daily deficit will likely be 1000 cals since its a rest day anyways and back to normal thurs/fri. but even making a small commitment on a rest day like today, starts the snowball growing into better decisions on the lifting days to keep them closer to maintenance. (within reason of not hurting lifting requirements on 531).
