OPPORTUNITIES
IMPROVE REFEED CONTROL - Refeeds have ranged from 2,000 - 4,000 with similar variability in macros and weekly total calories. A consistent refeed menu - specifically hi protein, low carb, consistent calories - would improve results.
STANDING DESK - I had this previously and abandoned for reasons I do not recall. Anyway, its a no brainer, and for a cut; will increase energy out, support metabolism.
WALK/RUCK - Same as above, plus would provide a possible afternoon/evening/nighttime distraction.
PRODUCTIVE AFTERNOONS - Crunch time for diet adherence is 3:00 pm to lights out. I have addressed this challenge by handling family feeding logistics largely before 3, and hunkering down. Spent a lot of time, especially earlier on, distracting myself with garbage on Amazon Prime, etc. There are undoubtedly better ways to distract myself during my daily ghrelin surge.
YOGA/BODYWORK - Plan is to get back under the bar once this cut is finished. I've been off for about 18 months. A greater investment in flexibility now will pay dividends in terms of recovery and injury avoidance later.
