I’m not sure what is wrong with me today, but I’m having a really bad level of fatigue.
Have been trying to get to training all day, but it just isn’t going to happen. Yesterday was a pretty big day for me, and I got to bed at midnight so probably a factor. Also since adding a bit of fibre I’ve had to go to the bathroom a lot more, which is a really serious problem at the moment as every time that happens, I lose even more blood, this is also probably a factor, just losing blood all the time. I’ll need to consider dropping even the small amount of fibre I added to the diet.
Today is going to be a total rest day, I know from trying this for a while, that I can’t simply push through it, every attempt I’ve made to do that has made things worse.
My training program is also about to change, going forward it will look more like this.

Cardio
-I’ll aim for 10,000 steps a day, need to get a pedometer as I can’t carry my phone all the time. Will also try and go to a pump track occasionally. When I finish cutting down I’ll add a run once a week.
As for the fatigue, probably more than one factor causing it. But I probably have some amount of metabolic adaptation I’m getting over, which may take a month or so. Likely I’ll be feeling this fatigue for a while and will just have to manage as best I can with it.
Later today I’ll drop back in with my diet log for the day. Hope all you lads are crushing your training goals
