Gents, thank you all so much for checking in on me. The past 3 weeks have been murder at work. I was working literally 18-20 hours 6 days a week during this stretch. Needless to say I missed some workouts (did get 3 in a week) and kept my diet pretty clean (not all the time). Well the storm has passed and I will be back posting regularly. Thanks again for the messages and comments, it really means a lot

Terrible.. talk about falling off the wagon… Super Bowl Sunday was a planned cheat.. no big deal. Then Monday-Wednesday I came down with a cold. So I have not worked out had no energy to make food so I fast food it. When I do that I let myself go. So I ate like shit for 4 days, gained 6 lbs which I am sure is a lot of water but I am not giving up. I am back on track again today. My goals are still reachable and I will not miss them..Hell no.
So there it is…

Woot!!!!! 269 today. Goodbye 27+ forever!!!!! I feel good I am losing about 2-3 lbs a week. I know I could lose more but I am trying to keep as much muscle as possible. Might not be the most efficient way to lose weight but I think it is just as hard if not harder to add quality muscle. So long story short… on track and hitting my goals!!!! Fells good!

Friday I took a break from the gym. I was crazy busy at work and by the time I looked up it was time to pick up my son. I did not eat enough calories so I when I was on the road I was starving. So I stopped at a sheetz and had a grilled chicken wrap
. Not the best but I know I was well below my calories but need to avoid that in that the future.
Saturday…. So far so good on diet, but holy sheeet did my workout suck. Shoulder was in a lot of pain and I had no energy. I think it has a to do with the low cals yesterday and the absent of carbs in my meal made me sluggish. Oh well can’t fret too much over this. Tomorrow is a cheat meal, I am sure I will have Pizza for the Super Bowl but will not drink. Next day I am planning on having some beers is on St. Pattys day
.
Hope all is well with everyone!

Been crazy busy at work the past couple of days and it is going to be this way until the end of March. However, I will find time to keep my workouts for sure and I have been so far. Diet has been spot on and so has workouts. I did have a craving for the first time in a long time on Wednesday… I wanted a donut which is weird because I really don’t even eat them often but I resisted and walked away from the box… Another small win I was at O’Hare airport and it was around dinner time but I was going to wait till I got back home to eat, but of course flight got delayed (it is O’Hare after all) and I passed up eating shit food like McDonald’s , or Chilli’s etc. Small win but I was proud in the past I would have convinced myself it was ok etc. Cheats are now all planned and I am sticking to the plan. It was either use that for a cheat or wait till the Super Bowl. It was an easy decision.
Official weigh-in is not till Sunday but I took a quick peek yesterday and I was below what I was last week. Which I am really happy about because that was my evening weight which is usually 3-4 lbs more then my morning weight so we will see Sunday morning.

Well nothing really exciting to speak of, I continue keeping my diet spot on and today was legs day. Had a great workout and they are paying this morning (Jan 31). Because of this I did the elliptical machine instead of the treadmill. Did 2 mies on that this morning and off to work. Tonight is a Back and Chest workout, hands down my favorite.

Is it just me or does it seem the first couple of weeks when you are cutting your fat actually looks worse on you. It is like it gets all soft and looks worse then it did 10lbs ago. I know this is the case with me right now. Maybe it is all mental but the fat seems to be a lot softer now then it has in the past couple of weeks, maybe there is some fact to this or not, just an observation.

Well I have been really busy at work so I have not posted the past two days but I have a little down time this morning so I figured I would ctach up.
Sunday - I used for a day off. My body was telling me it needed it so I listened. My diet was spot on and since there was no workout or cardio I kept calories lower then normal. All in all Sunday was a good day.
Monday - Monday was another spot in day. Did Morning cardio and in the evening I lifted. For thrill and giggles I maxed out on deadlift and got 405. Watch out Coleman here I come….hahaha. Anyway it is not great but hey it is my PB and I am proud of it. Besides I felt like a bad ass with 4 Plates on the bar and doing an excercise other then squating.
Tuesday morning - Another day of cardio. Just for the record it is a lot easier to get cardio in the morning at the hotel since I don’t have to drive anywhere. At home my gym is real close but during the winter I hate going out warming up the car, go back and go to the gygm in the morning.. hahaha I know quit being a bitch….lol

Woot made my month goal weight already this month!!!! I decided to take my weight today since today is going to be a bit of a cheat. It is my boys b-day today and the wife has made Lasagna and there will be B-Day cake etc. To be honest I am not overly in need for a cheat meal(no strong cravings) so I might pass on the cake and just enjoy the Lasagna.
I am heading to the gym now to lift and for cardio, then I need to shovel the deck and sidewalks again from all the snow we have been getting.

Diet has been spot on so far today. I got my workout in. I think I am finshed twaekin gmy routine and I will post tonight for you fine people to look at.
Cardio sucked ass for some reason. I did only 1 mile a 5 mph and I was totally winded. Very odd, I usually do not start to get winded until right around my 7th lap not 4th. I might come back tonight to do some more. Maybe it had to do with me eliminating carbs yesterday?
