Same situation here. I use a simple flow chart:

"Will I eat fish today?" -> YES -> don't bother with taking fish oil today
"Will I eat fish today?" -> NO -> take fish oil today

Where are you eating all this fish? My first two years in Japan I ate fish like ... twice. Lately I've been picking up salmon at the store for lifting days when I go low(er) fat, but that's mainly because I've figured out a half decent recipe for salmon. On other days I just don't consider fish to be too economical; it's like 198 yen/100 grams of salmon, while chicken is about 98 yen/100 grams, pork or ground meat 148 yen/100 grams, and steak like 250 yen/100 grams. It's really expensive to eat salmon filets regularly.

Here's a fun thing you can do though: for a super cheap, fatty meat, look for karubi or bara niku. These are very high in fat and protein, and also very cheap. I've eaten like 350 grams of karubi, put it into Fitday, and realized that I just ate 1500 calories before.

There aren't enough referees in the area, so every team is playing two sunday games this season. Our ref today actually did a game yesterday, and has back to back games today, plus were fielding an a and a b game. Man must have some solid conditioning.

After fixing up my diet(semi-paleo) during the summer I noticed how clear my mind was after even though my sleep wasn't the best. I also felt like I had more energy. Recently after school started, with my sleep being terrible lately and always eating at school/eating snacks/ instant food at home I feel like this is the worst physical state I have been in my life. I am so tired all the time that I've been sleeping +15 hours every day for the past few days and still feel tired. I just feel I have this mental fog all the time and I can't seem to concentrate.

I realize diet and sleep does make the biggest difference. Slowly trying to fix this. Hopefully it gets better because I feel miserable as fuck lately.

Making consistent progress on all my lifts. Squats is up to 185x5x5 and other lifts are still catching up. Failed 3x5 chin-ups at BW+5lb twice but I got 5-5-4 last time and I'm sure I could've made it if I rested long enough. Will get it next time for sure.

Yesterday, I got a sharp pain in my quads during squatting. I just pushed through it because it didn't seem to affect my strength. Slept like 10-11 hours last night and it still hurts if I do something like pistol squats. Should I RICE it and go ahead with squats tomorrow or skip squats until there is 0 pain?

We won, 29-15. Didn't score myself (only ran the ball once) but I did a good job in all the roles I was asked to play today. Lifting was good, rucking was pretty beast, and the common factor to all the scrums that we won, was me getting my feet set and my legs extended, and the other lock keeping his ass out of the air. I'd say all in all I did a good job, especially for a first game.

One thing I need to learn to do though is tackle. I came around to it the end of the game, and brought a couple guys down... but I could've personally stopped one of their scores in the first if I had just come in lower, and really gone for the guy. As it is, I was nervous, and I came in with my chin to his shoulder. He had at least 30 pounds on me, and I just bounced off... But so did our senior fullback, so I don't feel AWFUL on that one.

D1 team beat buffalo too - they were the team that won the conference last year, so that's a step forward for us.

Congrats! was 29-15 for the B-side? And yeah like i said can't be scared going into contact, gotta get pissed and bury that mother fucker. Hit low pick em up and dump em. Buffalo is pretty good from what i hear (actually have a rookie on our team from there this year). We played the buffalo's mens team in the finals of the Can-Am tournament and only won by 2 points (i was with detroits mens team). Did you guys social afterwards? Kinda sucks having a game on sunday instead of saturday :-/

Actually we only fielded one d3 team... only half the guys that said they were coming actually showed up for the game. I think that comes with having sunday games three hours away though. So 29-15 was for the actual d3 team, and I played the whole game. And no, we couldn't social afterwards. Next weekend is even worse, because the d1 game is saturday, but the d3 is sunday again.
