Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates—I've been super busy with work the past few days.
Quick update on Thursday and Friday:
Thursday: Had a pretty heavy leg workout and finished the day with 1 hour of cardio (walking). Friday: Chest and triceps session, shorter than usual because I was low on energy. Also did 20 minutes of easy cycling on the home trainer.
Today (Saturday), the weather is great here, so I'll head out for a 2–3 hour bike ride this morning.
I'm at the end of cycle 1, and the results are excellent: body fat down by about 4-5% and muscle mass up by 1 kg. I'll take a short break until Wednesday, when I'll get some blood tests done and then start cycle 2.
Regarding my diet, after 12 weeks in a calorie deficit, I'm definitely feeling a lack of energy. My coach advised me to have a carb refeed today and again on Wednesday. Starting cycle 2, we'll increase calories by about 400, adding slightly more protein, carbs, and fats.
I'll post some photos from today's bike ride later!
