 video. Seriously guys, the grind is real. The grind is so real. I've come to terms with the fact that normal for me now is uncomfortable. It literally is man. This last, the last two weeks of this diet I'm actually funnily enough I'm not even counting calories because all I'm trying to do is have as least amount of carbs as possible and basically go through the day with at least the least amount of calories as possible. It's got to that point like macros don't even matter anymore. I'm just trying to hit 2,000 calories or under with food and also I'm trying to hit about at least three three and a half thousand worth of calories burnt. So yeah definitely being tightening up which is what I was hoping would happen but it hasn't been too easy man. It hasn't been easy at all. I said 10 days out that I was gonna do a full week of low carb. Well it's now seven days out and I just couldn't do it man. I did it for the first day and then on with nine days out I was just like nah man I'm feeling so shit already like I literally can't do this for another week straight so I stopped. Didn't go overboard or anything but basically just ate like my normal diet normal cutting diet probably about 200 grams carbs for those two days and then today we're at seven days out this is when it really starts. I've just gone basically the whole day at work with a fucking stressful client man. It's one thing you need in my job is patience and if you're hungry patience is very hard to come by but you got to do what you got to do and I knew that this week was gonna be tough and I'm actually enjoying it to be honest with you like it's not you know it's fucking peak week baby. It's peak week. One week out man. So I've been practicing posing and stuff but yeah as I said energy levels are fucking low. I've finished work I'm going to the gym yesterday I hit legs my legs are sore as fuck but it was the second to last leg workout before the comp so went hard and I've already got one more to go and I'll tell you what this next leg workout whether I'm tired whether I'm fasted whether I'm doesn't matter what I am and I'm gonna go hard as fuck on these last workouts. Hard as fuck. So first thing before I go to the gym I'm gonna stop at the supermarket I'm gonna get some low carb foods to keep me going some nice ones different different types I've been smashing the low-carb protein bars lately which is not a good idea really is kind of be messing with my gut a bit I've had cramps for the first time ever some of cramps yeah muscle soreness is just at another level yeah but hey you got a smile and grin and bear smile and bear smile grin and bear you got a grin and bear and that's what I'm doing so let's go to the supermarket and show you what I get when I'm done. Alright guys so we got the groceries and just before I show you what I got I'm just stopping at my sister's place to pick up my electronic scale because I haven't had that for ages and ages and I need it so let's see if she's home it's going to surprise her well I turned it off when I went out there. Is that done? I actually also picked up my laptop because not only was the Wi-Fi shit back in New Zealand but come home to Australia and we've got dial-up speed Wi-Fi so there's no way I can upload a gigabyte fucking video on dial-up so it'll take I think it's gonna take about 15,000 minutes so drop that off the other night to my sister's place to upload a couple of videos so yeah I'm gonna take off home and when I get there I'll show you what I bought from the supermarket and go through the macros and everything because I'm not going to gym right now I'm gonna go to the gym after because really I don't have the energy. Alright guys a little bit of a changed plan from where I left you yesterday I ended up staying at my sister's place for like three or four hours they had dinner there I had a little bit too many carbs went over what I wanted to do so basically we're sitting at six days out now it's Sunday it's crunch time baby and it's definitely low carb starting today so what's today Sunday we're going Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday low carb we're under a hundred grams I'm not gonna go zero because it's literally impossible for me it is fucking impossible I cannot do four days of chicken and vegetables so yeah under a hundred grams I'm as well as weight training I'm pretty sure I will deplete myself of most of the glycogen in my system and then come Thursday Friday and then Saturday morning we'll be carving up as well as dehydrating and Saturday morning baby that's showtime I've got my posing routine sorted which I'll show you guys in another video but I'm really really stoked that I've got that sorted because that was that was stressing me out for a little bit there but I've got the perfect teamwork sorted so yeah won't go too much into that but a lot of aesthetic is style posing rather than the whole fist clenched sort of thing so feeling really positive about that but basically off to work now I'm feeling hungry as per usual in my bag with me I've got some aminos I've got two low carb protein bars and I've got some egg whites so yeah get to work try and get through my whole day on just that and that's that's that's how I that's how I've stuck to the diet guys as I go to work for like a nine or ten hour shift with fuck all food and it's just like it's like starving myself but it's like it's what you need to do it's what I need to do with a week out from a show so that's what I'm doing and on the way home I'm gonna be starting a water load either today or tonight or tomorrow so I'm gonna be buying a shit load of water as well probably gonna be trying to have about eight litres a day and some days I honestly would have eight litres a day just because it's so hot here but I'm gonna make a point of drinking it as much as I can come Thursday I will be cutting it down come Friday will be very very minimal and Saturday morning well who knows I'm probably gonna be feeling but it's it's all gonna be worth it because man I got abs now and I just want to make them come out as much as possible for the showday so yeah first things first I'm gonna go get a coffee open up my eyes a little bit and then I'll be off to work again so thanks for joining me guys I still haven't shown you guys what I got from the supermarket but I did get some good things and some things that have been staples throughout my entire diet which has been a long time now so when I get home from work tonight I will show you guys what I bought and yeah that'll be it for another day and I'll be back with you guys six days out but until then that's off to work gay
