Stalling / Regressing / Lack of Motivation

[Scott Stevenson]

Understood Scott, thanks for your input as always

I have so far taken 2 days off and feeling a little fresher in the sense that I would love to get back in there.. however I believe it may be still a little too soon. I kind of want to be in the situation that you described as Dante would put it. I very much believe a cruise needs to be done so in that case how would you structure this, as its not a typical 6 week blast type cruise.

I've been on tier 1 first week and only completed days 1,2 & 3 of tier 2 on the second. Would you suggest just a 2 week blast cruise (1/3 of 2 weeks equates to 5 days) ? Again if this was the case how would you structure it, having already had 2 days off completely? Would you just have a solid 5 days off as you would with the latter part of a cruise or would you try go in an train one of those days? Again I feel like I want to get in the gym as it looks like I am fading away but feel like I might make things potentially worse and that I might benefit from an additional days rest.

Problem I got here is its Shrove Tuesday over here and I would love some of those sweet juicy carbs in the form of pancakes so feel like I need to create some sort of demand as carbs are limited on rest days.

Ill post pics up tomorrow and hopefully then you can assess where I am at in terms of continuing with this mini cut.. it might help having someone elses perspective (yours) on this.

Thanks

Nordan,

Are you having trouble sleeping at night?

Is there residual DOMS... or if you were to stretch out, would you (you can try this out) feel achy?...

How does this feel in comparison to how you felt when you needed to take several months of downtime, in terms of recovery?...

If you could place how you feel NOW along the time line to recovery during that period, that will tell you about how much time you'll need to take off...

Where do you fit on this Perceived Recovery Scale?...
