heh, soon you can start your own meth enterprise

multitasking is win

trying to figure out why i have gas when i eat the same thing every day
its either chili from saturday, tap water, bananas, salsa in my oatmeal, or something else that i just have a hard time digesting

Its the fiber, oatmeal, and greens or protein intake.

can you be more specific?

its not that its the fiber, but the amount of fiber proal. your body is not used to that, and there is a reason old people take fiber supplements to poop.

pooping is easy, its just this gas bubble bloated edge of my stomach cramp that has been lingering for about 48 hours
ive pooped (very small volume) 3 times today and farted like crazy every time, but its still not completely subsided

Try using some Activia. NO joke, you may have some bacterial irregularities and it's all WTF about not getting fried goodness.

begin week 3
current weight 248 (-2 week / -7 overall)

etc

probably wont hit 240 by october but still going p steady
will start thinking about gym around 230 i think, donno

Start it now, your muscles are going to hate you the first few times anyhow so might as well start to ease in.

achievement unlocked: 2nd notch in belt

IS that worth 5 or 10 points?

week 4
current weight 246 (-2 week / -9 overall)

had an awesome bowl of spaghetti with italian sausage on sunday
else id probably be 245, heh

Honestly, being a totalitarian leads you to breaking down and binge eating, then goin back to bad habits.

Don't think days like that as cheat days, but reward days.

GZ on your progress so far ofc.

i hope not
at least so far it has felt good to have routine

and i do think of it as reward
i drink a couple beers on friday nights
unlimited beers on saturday (usually 3 before im too tired to carry on)
and whatever dinner i want on saturday and sometimes sunday too

Sounds like a good plan thus far.

Gym update?

get a part time construction job

week 5
current weight 244 (-2 week / -11 overall)

meni spaghettis for weekend dinner
and some beer i guess

GZ and keep it up ofc.

You really seem to like the Sunday Pasta.

Good choice.

6 week update?

week 6
current weight 243 (-1 week / -12 overall) as of monday

ate (free) pizza at work on friday

had a few of these on the weekend



i should really pick out some better reward food than this shit

yesterday at work there was free catered famous daves lunch

chicken, green beans, potato salad, cornbread muffin

i regret nothing

n1 m8, keep it up ofc

why not make your own with actual ingredients, it's a god damn wrap with cheese

what do you think im going to do, cook?
and like, purchase individual ingredients?

got on a digital scale today
said i weighed 235
well, shit

really want to try this

go to the store and buy a shitload of meat, cheese, and green vegetables
eat it
lose more weight
ALL THIS MEAT

youll like never shit solid again, but it looks like it might work LOL

This is the atkins diet, it works well. My boss has lost something like 60lbs pretty easy doing it and he has many times before. Problem is no beer as you have to consistently starve your body of carbs

you will die if you never eat proteins
you will die if you never eat fats
you will not die if you never eat carbs

we started our diets around the same time
i've been following this since you started, and we lost the same amount of weight as well
between august 19- sept 19 I went from 180> 170
my diet is much different from yours though

i have one meal a day, and i eat whatever i want, as long as it's no more than 1200 calories
most of the times it's just a half of a frozen pizza each day
i've done this diet like 4 different times now and each time i've been able to lose considerable weight
I was 220 at my heaviest and i've been 170-180 for a while now
but one day a week i would go hard as a motherfucker and pig out
and this day was almost enough to completely ruin my progress for that week
here's what one of my weeks was

week 2:

August 26, 2012
580 (n1)

August 27, 2012
1400

August 28, 2012
1100

August 29, 2012
1300

August 30, 2012
1200

August 31, 2012
1100

September 1, 2012
3490
Total calories burned this week: 17850
Total Calorie intake: 10170
Total calorie deficit for this week: 7680 -2.19 pounds

lose 4 days of progress with one pig out session, but fuck it, still manage to lose 2 pounds a week

i've been losing the same 10 pounds and gaining it back for the last year and a half though
whatever
you're doing awesome though

dunno what exactly you're on, but I keep hearing good things about the paleo diet.

However say gn8 to dairy and beer if you do it.

Fats, healthiest to least healthy afaik:

seafood omega monounsaturated
plant omega monounsaturated
polyunsaturated
plant saturated
animal saturated
trans
partially hydrogenated anything

Oils by monounsaturated:polyunsaturated ratio (best to worst)

Olive
Canola
Peanut
Vegetable

week 7
current weight 234, confirmed on digital scale at gym

bought a digital scale on woot for like $30
im thinking my current scale was off by 5-10 lbs, so id put my total weight loss around 16 lbs

also +1 belt notch (3rd)

agenda:
-getting back in the gym very soon
-measuring food this week to accurately calcuate calories in
-added spinach and tbsp olive oil to dinner for ofc good fat and actual leafy nutrition sake

really excited about this "phase 2"

and i will not be doing keto at this time, the food selection is awesome but its too extreme for me to give up beer and oatmeal

current weight 231.4

day 1 workout was a circuit of
1/4 mile treadmill, 8-10 pushups, 10-12 air squats, 6-8 assisted chinups, 6-8 assisted tricep dips
x4 sets

im pewped, and feel great

other notes:

im 8 lbs heavier but 4% bodyfat lower than when i started working out in 2008
my blood pressure is 118/79 -- no hypertension for the first time in my life

feels good man

Gz on starting back up working out, having ok bp, and ofc improving your vitals.

we need an update

thanks for keeping me honest
current weight 228.4 (-3 week)

i spent a fair amount of time at the grocery store this weekend
made some more tweaks to my weekday diet
lowered carbs and sodium, increased protein

will probably add a 170 calorie myoplex shake immediately after i work out and eat dinner around 7:30pm rather than 6:00pm



feedback welcome

nice job dude

work out 1:

1/4 mile treadmill, 8-10 pushups, 10-12 air squats, 8-12 assisted chinups, 6-10 assisted tricep raises
x4 sets

work out 2:

15 min ea combination eliptical / bike / stairs HIIT 1 min low resist 1 min high resist


alternating between those m-f

Build up base fitness
Start Rippetoes
Become a monster


Keep it up ofc, current weight/bf?

ive lost ~ 1lb (227) this week, will upd8 officially on tuesday
my bf is something like 32%

so my average daily cals is about 200 short of target (1800) AND i need something for immediately after work out

solution:

http://eas.com/product/myoplex-lite-ready-to-drink

unfort will take 7-10 days to ship

I used to use them. Then went to Muscle Milk.

Occasionally if I don't feel like doing the breakfast thing I'll have one of the Myoplex 42's.

It really is loads cheaper to do your own, but RTD's are just that convenient.

too much sugars in most premade protein drinks imo usually

Hardly any in Muscle milk iirc, and he's doing the myoplex lights, so it'll be super carb friendly.
