Woke-up and made myself train before breakfast. Pre-workout was half an Orgain protein shake and a few sips of coffee.

Knowing I have a tight schedule today, I threw a pound of ground bison with some frozen organic veggies (Normandy blend of broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower) and quinoa to slow cook in a pot during training so I'd have lunch for work.

Log clean once and strict press away: 120 x 5
Kettlebell high pulls: 50s x 5
12 rounds in 6:45

Weighted dips
50 x 12
75 x 10, 10 -> dropdown to bodyweight dips x 10
-
Super-set with chin-ups
50 x 12
Bodyweight x 15, 15

Continuing to improve on that time, and this time with no food in me. My body kept telling me I was dying but I knew it was a lie. And what a difference the lack of glycogen bloat makes. The past few days I've been looking like a balloon in the mirror and actually contemplating whether I'm eating too much. Before breakfast today I was kinda taken aback at how lean I look at 230 without thousands of calories swelling me up. 

Came upstairs, showered, drank a protein shake (whey, a little milk, egg whites) and a few more sips of coffee, drove to the office, ate as much as I could in 5 minutes, and then suffered through a 2-hour Zoom meeting. Continued lunch afterwards.

Got a work party tonight at a Korean restaurant, so lots of food on the horizon, but an early day tomorrow, so no late socializing.
