So I am on track to need 25’-30’(!) scoops of creatine today. When the aerobic energy fatigue first showed up I was taking 9, which is maybe 12’?

And this isn’t “take a bunch more than you need on waking so after a day of decay you’re good enough to take the next day’s” I was already on a 2 dose a day schedule, now I’m taking some to push the fatigue back every 3 hours, and “you would have fatigue if not for this” means it’s burning fat.

The postexertional stuff does seem to clear up much faster than the aerobic energy debt – 1’-2’ scoops a week with rest vs. 1’ every 11 – but on the way it will take me down at least one weight level on its own.

But I find I have more runway to work with! Originally my model was

• Obese
• Fat (obese side of, “true fat”, overweight side of)
• Overweight (fat side, true, normie)
• Normie (overweight, true, slim)
• Slim (normie, true, thin)
• Thin (slim, true, gaunt)
• Gaunt

With “true normie” as the overweight/underweight pivot.

But now I think it’s

• Obese
• Fat (obese, true, overweight)
• Overweight (fat, true, normje)
• Normje (overweight, true, trim)
• Trim (normie, true, slim)
• Slim (trim, true, thin)
• Thin (slim, true, gaunt)
• Gaunt

With “normie” and “trim” as paired overweight/underweight versions of average
