in case anyone was wondering whether i am a boy:
I COMPLETED MY ENTIRE TO-DO LIST TODAY ALSO AN ITEM FROM TOMORROW ADMITTEDLY IT WAS NOT A MASSIVE TO DO LIST BUT I ALSO ACHIEVED A MAXIMUM OF ABOUT 3 HOURS SLEEP LAST NIGHT AND HAD HORRENDOUS DREAMS "LOL YOU ACCIDENTALLY DESTROYED YOUR ENTIRE JOB WHILE ASLEEP" / "YOU SLEPT SO NOW SOMEONE IS FRAMING YOU FOR MURDER" / "NEVER SLEEP" (a theme emerges)

I got what I'm going to call five hours of sleep last night. I knew I was getting up stupidly early for travel (Hi, I am Matadi, and actually saw Angola several times), so my brain would pick random bits of the night and go "Wake up! You might be late!" And then I would check the time on my phone and realize it was still the middle of the night.
Why are you fasting? Is this like a blood test thing?
I think getting giant muscles and punching things is a good plan. And if you see a problem with that plan, you can punch it!

I'm trying to kick-start weightloss again (have plateaued at a weight which, while not awful, is still marginally higher than I wanted to be) by doing something similar to the 5:2 thing some of my friends have found effective in restarting (then going back to normal restricted eating), so by "fast" I don't mean "nil by mouth" but more "the 600-800 calorie range", and I'm supposed to be alternating days a little and then, idk. Mostly it's just MAKING ME ANGRY.
Indeed, it's a shame I have no room for a training bag, eh?

That's not as worrying as it could be, but do you have an appointment with a nutritionist?
I think "THING WHICH YOU'RE OFFICIALLY SUPPOSED TO PUNCH!" would be awesome on so many levels. (Before coming out here, I got a safety training that included basic self-defense. My single best moment of the week was when I punched the training dummy to the ground.)

Not yet, will do so in time. Have been eating "normally" (ie, without calorie-counting) for the last three days, if that makes you any happier.
YES THAT WOULD BE GREAT I COULD HIT THE HITTING THING AND HOPEFULLY STOP BREAKING MY HAND.

Fasting? More blood work?
Nice! Hand weights or bar?
(PS - Don't know if you heard yet from IRL Pitbull, but I'm finally studying for my training certification and will probably like to have fake clients to help me study, if you're interested).

Handweights - well, new plates for my dumbells - which could go on a full-length bar also but a) I cannot afford one and b) there is no space in my house where I could lift one. TINY FLAT IS TINY.
(!!!!! I would be very happy to help you).

I'm not versed enough on Nutrition yet to make recommendations, but you obviously don't want to fast while you're working out. Then your muscles can't get bigger, and will probably shrink. Protein is good! Carbs are necessary too, but if you're going to be mostly weightlifting, protein will get you what you want (as you probably know).
The thing to be careful with during fasting is that if you fast too much, it can stall your metabolism. Not a big deal if your goal is just weight loss (although I question the sustainability of it), but if you want to build lean muscle mass it can make it harder.

Bodyweight exercises? I've literally only been doing vertical rowing, bicep curls, and tricep curls. Things like squats and situps without weights, and not to a huge degree.
Aha! I shall continue to wait with bated breath. :)
