Notes:  Diet was mostly solid until Friday, but by then I was basically starving and my blood sugar was all over the place.  Fasted until well after sunset on Saturday to compensate and so I wouldn't be sick while hauling branches for burning.  Sunday was a Day of Reflection in my RCIA class, so I ate what was offered -- which wasn't paleo by any means -- but I was in a convent and politeness is more important.  I remember now why I quit eating like this all those months ago, and I'm not sure I really want to; doesn't feel sustainable like AD did.  I have about a week's worth of food already prepped, though, so I'm stuck with it for this week at a minimum.

Notes:  This will be my last week on the Anabolic Diet.  It was fine for adding mass over the last however-many months, but I'm not having any luck cutting with it.  Leangains starting today.  Might tinker with programming, at least with giving myself light weeks on deadlift.
