It will start tomorrow. I'll probably do 2 weeks, a little bit depending on how fast I progress. Will post stats (waist and upper body circumference + weight) first thing next morning, and then by the end of the cut. That way I'll feel even more forced to do it, so I don't look like a quitter.
My plans are as follows:
Nutrition
Very low carb (especially the second week)
Multiple or even consecutive days of fasting
Coffee, tea, apple cider vinegar as see fit
~8+ glasses of water
Plenty of veggie, especially green leafy like spinache and kale
Avocado, olive oil, butter, some nuts and seeds
Animal protein; including whey, eggs, meat, fish and some dairy
First week I (might) allow for one high carb meal such as oatmeal or dark chocolate
Omega-3
D vitamin
Multivitamin on some days
Training
Lifting 4-5 days a week
Mostly compound lifts
Will try to do upper/lower, but may include push/pull/legs because I just really like that split
Running 9K at least once a week, maybe more depending on recoverability and motivation
Walking 2+ hours a day, but probably more
Abs at least every other day
Other training forms will also add to the calorie expenditure
Stomach vacuums every day (they seem to tighten my waist up a bit and I kinda like them)
Recovery
Will practice proper sleep hygiene by always making the bed, keeping the room dark and cool and having a sleep ritual where I make a cup of chamomile tea with honey, nutmeg and cardamom and watch my favorite movie
I'll try to meditate more (preferably 20 mins a day)
Hot/cold water therapy
Stretching after exercise
Foamrolling
Dead hang 1 minute

Then it's strict low carb for a week (or until I think I'm sufficiently lean).
