Mortal Kombat: The Results of the 36th Expedition

Sunday, March 3, 2024

Yes, in my SECOND win of 2024, I lost 5.44% for a 13 lb weightloss, skipping the 230s entirely! While I predicted this amount exactly weeks ago, it is the most I've lost in a third of a series of Expeditions in a non-semi-starving (<1200 kcal) context. Incidentally, it is only 1.75 lbs away from tying that Expedition! I prefer to apply my willpower toward other fronts.

You can see exactly what I ate on my Intake section. If you're interested in calories, it was at 2262 kcal/daily, about 100 calories less than the last Expedition. Obviously they don't matter as 42,000+ calories less for The 9th Expedition only netted me 1.75 lbs.

I found my two-a-week fat focus days made my protein consumption difficult to manage. I don't know if it contributed to my success, but I did find my removal of bacon for its entirety made it a less enjoyable Expedition. I'm guessing the increased walking workload contributes to the additional 1% loss?

At any rate, you can see how my input lines up with NYR24 here. Basically, I dropped another pant size to fall into 38. My Golden Ratio increased and my arms remained the same despite me pulling the cord on my lifting from this damning sickness—that MUST change. I find the combination of compromised lungs and general numbness is a chief demotivator. But, I'll rise; I always do.
