Cheat day hangover.
Good Morning Sierra Vista!! (Yes, that was a Good Morning Vietnam reference and I’m just not really sure why I chose that one…..Some things are probably best left unknown, yes?
I’m currently in the middle of a bulking phase that has taken me from 195 and 10% bodyfat up to 220 and 16% bodyfat: The ultimate goal by the end of November is to be no more than 20% bodyfat at 235 pounds. Folks, this has been no easy task! Sure, I’d love to say that the Twinkies, cookies, Roast beef and Swiss sandwhiches, Pizza and Waffles are not getting old, but I just can’t do it. And with that, the following are few things of note from my current bulking session:
-Yesterday was football Sunday and since I am bulking, here was a perfect chance to maybe pack on a few pounds: All in one day! I consumed the following: Pancakes, muffins, butter, syrup, Orange and Grape juice, Pretzels, Cheese dip, Potato and Tortilla chips, bean dip, Apples, Oranges, Grapes, Kiwi, cream cheese and marshmallow fruit dip, Four hamburgers, 10 chicken strips, french fries, tater tots, Buffalo wing sauce, pizza, M&M’s, Snicker’s bar, lots of coffee and lots of diet soda. Am I paying the price today you ask? Sweet Mercy and Heaven help us, I feel like a Water Bison fresh off a days worth of mowing down sixteen acres of prairie grass followed by ingesting 470 gallons of fresh spring water….And for those of you not savvy to what that might feel like: I’m VERY bloated!!
-I ended up gaining three pounds yesterday
-My pants feel like the ones I used to wear in Elementary school: Tight and uncomfortable…..Sadly, they probably look that way too.
-At 223, I’m actually looking forward to this bulk ending, but rest assure my good citizens: I will continue to move the food in large single sitting portions, in order to reach my goal of 235.
In closing and coming soon to a theater near you: Fat guy in a little coat before pics and Very shredded guy in tiny Speedo after pics!
Parting shot - Don’t worry about trying to change yesterday in order to make tomorrow better: Focus on Today, change the things you can, and be able to answer yes to the question, "Did I make a positive difference today?"

LMFAO. I lost it when you described your pants fitting like they did in elementary school. Did you wear Toughskins, btw?
I can’t believe you packed all that food into you. That’s amazing.

Ahhhhh, you will need to shop in the "Husky" section. Oh how I hated that name!!! 3lbs in 24 hours? Geeze!
I think I’m doing what is called a "culk" but I honestly have no idea!

WOW! All that in one day?

A proud (now) Yes to Toughskins and an uncomfortable yes to, all in one day. Needless to say, the end-o-November cutting cycle implementation plan is eagerly anticipated!

OMG! I feel like hurling on your behalf. And to think I felt bad because I got a to go meal from Cracker Barrel trying to make up for the few pounds I have lost the past two weeks.

Scott: You continue to amaze and inspire. Whatever you decide to do is all to the good, but Lord, man, how could you have packed all that away without blowing like Old Faithful? You have my admiration. Good luck on your quest.
