Extreme boredom while cutting.... Recommendations?

So I'm going on a trip in December for a few months, and am realistically trying to cut like 15-20 pounds of fat over the next 6 weeks. Should be dooable, as I already have a good start and am already at a solid amount of muscle mass.

Started about a week ago, with one cheat day on the weekend where I eat Taco Bell and do a bunch of Pepsi and Tequila. Have been eating Chipotle every day, which is actually great cutting food and probably cheaper than actually cooking.

The problem is, I'm sitting around at night and am absolutely bored as living fuk. Can't go to the bar(not that I've been spending a lot of time there lately anyways), not really being that social due to cold rainy weather, and not really doing much recreation outside of personal training sessions and other days with regular lifting. I'd be happy with another 5 pounds lost, but I know things will be really good if I can crank it to 15-20 and be relatively jacked for the trip.

Anyways, what the hell do you guys do while cutting to keep your mind off of eating? Misc is kinda boring but somewhat effective, and I feel like I'm wasting my life just sitting around.

Chipotle is 1000 calories per day. That's my entire food for the day, and I weigh 250 pounds and 6'3''. Probably will lose 3-4 per week at this rate.

Cutting is 5x more difficult than bulking because cutting is a 24hr/day mind game.


Me personally, I used to play video games to keep my mind off of food. These days, I cruise down to the local casino and play baccarrat with all the gambling degenerate Golden Bulls. By the time I get home it's late in the evening and I go straight to sleep.

I'm always busy doing something. I fast as well so it's just easier for me.

Why didn't you give yourself more time to prepare?

Casino is actually a good idea. They still allow you to smoke cigs in the casinos near me as well, so that further kills appetite.

In reality, I've been preparing for like 6 months, but had an extremely stressful work project that was demanding 100% of my time for about 3 months and I didn't gain any muscle or lose fat at that time. Was eating garbage and feeling like crap.

just because you lose 3-4 lbs and are cutting does not mean you lost 3-4 lbs of fat. Be more realistic before getting into this cut. Plan to lose MAX 1 lb of fat a week. NOT 1lb of weight, 1lb of fat. You are going to lose most of your weight from water and glycogen retention due to carbohydrate decrease and activity increase. This accounts for about 70% of the weight people lose, the other 30% is a mix of muscle and fat, the less protein you eat and the more you overwork yourself with cardio and under-feeding, the more that is going to be muscle and not fat.

Right now I am 285-290 and could be 255 in 2 weeks, that doesnt mean i lost 30lbs of fat even though i will look like i lost fat and gained muscle. Its just glycogen depleting, gastric system emptying and inflammation going down and water retention lowering.
