I picked up a win yesterday: after missing last weekend's mark, I was able to fat fast successfully. In light of doing it, I am now below the threshold average of 75 grams of protein per day, tying 28E...but, that may or may not be jacked up a bit today. I would not be opposed to running it back for another day.

I ought to define my version of a fat fast since folks have their own versions. I just strip out the protein macro (inasmuch as I can). I apply the same structure as I do water fast. In the same fashion as I do not limit water intake, I do not limit fat. I mean, I guess technically there's a calorie drop-off if that was important—a dropoff in the 100-300 range. But, there are those who also limit fat intake with respect to normal consumption thereby dropping their total calorie consumption for the day to a non-satisfying, semi-starving 1000-1200 kcal. Well geez, Beav, fast then!

Overall, it is something weekly I do that is unique to this Expedition as I stamp out sugar, even that from protein.

Fat fast is a bad term—if it was not for the alliteration, I would drop the nomenclature altogether...

...but, I do love alliteration.

I've been watching Fat Head (2009), an amusing rebuttal to Spurlock's Supersize Me (2004) (a film I once took stock in during that era). I like Naughton's perspective because...well, its a bit of practical wisdom. And it's totally irreverent to Spurlock and calls him out for his chicanery. And hey, even with my sugar firewall, I totally could lose weight at McDonald's, too. Does butter there have sugar?

McD's coffee, butter, burger, eggs. Booya! FTW.

While I had no workout scheduled for today, I had my morning wrapped up in fitness planning. I completely revamped my training worksheet, converting it from a spreadsheet to a word processor document, thereby allowing more room for notes (and in practice, additional training objectives). That said, I am keeping a spreadsheet of an overview of all weeks with one glance so that I won't have to compare my hard copies.

While I thought yesterday was gonna end the protein fluctuations...well, THIS graph:

Eau De Toilette

In a callback to January 2021, I stopped by my favorite cologne shop online and picked up a few things to try out as my deordorant replacement:

• Eros by Gianni Versace for Men - It smells good in a magazine!
• Cuba Gold - I'm a sucker for a novel bottle!
• Yacht Man Black - 3.4 oz for $6!
• Dylan Blue Pour Homme From Gianni Versace For Men - Samples are...

"Guess what? I got a fever! And the only prescription...is more SAX!"

This Expedition

I FINALLY have the title for this Expedition: The 32nd Expedition: On This Day. The following song is today's addition to its playlist: Fireflight, Unbreakable

It has been a week since Dust in the Bin. It has been an emotional week as evidenced by my protein macros:

• Thu: 144
• Fri: 56
• Sat: 130
• Sun: 78
• Mon: 169
• Tue: 70
• Wed: 115
• Thu: 76
• Fri: So far, I am satisfied with this morning's 58.

I did not plan that rhythm; I just ate what my body felt. And my body totally flipped on autopilot and applied metabolic confusion.

Training

I am proud that I completed Week 6, hitting everything that I had planned to do (and notched up the weights on some exercises). I can already see flashes of toning. The great thing about my high-fat diet is that my body already burns fat for fuel and as there are no carbs flipping on the insulin rages, fat keeps burning off, which hopefully provides for a future showcase!

Historically, I've never chosen resistance as the primary driver of my fitness sessions.

On to Week 7!

Inspiration

I don't know how many documentaries an MMA fighter needs as I have already seen Conor McGregor's Notorious...

...but I have been inspired this week by his McGregor Forever mini-series on Netflix:

How do we respond when we don't win? When we do fail? I'm reminded of this line from Rocky Balboa:

The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done.
