Dude, you’re doing great, the weight looks evenly distributed, go back and reference your starting pictures now and then to see where you came from, especially the ones that make you look the worst.
221 this morning, just plugging away, gotta break into the teens!!! I’ll get there this weekend, my goal is 218 by saturday but I’ll be happy with 219.
Check out this fat bastard! GOT DAM!!! I never realized how fat I really was. He’s dead to me. I WILL NEVER LOOK LIKE THAT AGAIN! EVER!
Damn man… in comparison you look fucking great…
I wish I had pictures taht showed some progress like that…
I’ve lost overall… like you keep saying… I guess thats the ideal way… but it makes it challenging to notice the difference.

Thank you!
It’s certainly hard to notice a big difference once you get to the place we’re at, chunks of weight don’t come off at once and now it seems to be about total shrinkage. I have a feeling one day we’re both going to look at a picture and think damn, I’m here, it just crept up on me. That’s my hope anyway.
Haha… I’m hoping that day comes soon…
I honestly can’t wait to get back into CF…
Fighting you is one thing, but taking on the whole CF Nation to get the best time, or be on par with those forged in elite fitness… that really means something to me…
If was watching some Cagefighting the other night and I thought, “that guy is fat” he just had a big rolling over gut… That made me think again, If I was how I am now, but could do BW pullups with ease, bench my BW(i may be able to), run long disatnces with ease… I’d be content, because its not necessarily how I look but how I perform.

Yep, it’s all about quality of life, seeing my abs is just a bonus. I already notice things day to day that are certainly improved, I was walking the other day and went to jump onto a curb and when I push like I used to I jumped way higher than I expected and almost twisted my ankle landing. Little things getting off the floor, going down stairs, all sorts of things are just easier now. You’ve got goals, go get’em.
SON OF A BITCH!! Last week HR brought in BBQ for lunch today they bring in fried chicken and of course it’s sitting 5 feet from me. I ain’t gonna lie, it smells good as hell but I won’t break! Today’s diet looks like yesterdays and the day before and the day before that, nothing new.
Just got back from 30min NEPA/HIT made the stairs 10 times this time, need to shorten the rest time in between, I’ll do more Friday.

SON OF A…!!! Good work man. If I don’t lose this week I’m gonna get passed, thats not cool since I had a pretty big leed going into this thing. 218lbs this Saturday, that’s the goal.
So lasts night work out was…interesting. I added a new station to Don’s bunk ass gym (my basement gym). I was inspired by Craig Weller’s 3rd world training article to add “rings” to my set up. Since you cannot just go to Wal-Mart and buy rings I made some, I used 2 motorcycle tie downs and the handles off my cable machine, I wrapped the tie downs over an I beam and attached the handles to the hooks.
Turned out pretty darn cool, got some more work to do to figure out what all I can do but I’m going to injoy the change. I was able to do dips, pull ups, rows and some nameless push up type thing. I needed to do more work than I did but it kicked my ass! I was able to sit Native American style (snicker) and do 3 pull ups for 3 sets, then I put my laid back flat on the ground reached up, grabbed the handles while keeping my body stiff and pulled up like a row 3X8.
The push up things were fun and scary, I tried 3-4 variations and got a good work out in, it’s a bit unnerving when you have your feet on a bench and you’re suspended like 4ft off the ground on a Jerry rigged ring set up looking down at a concret floor, who knows if those straps are solid, I just kept picturing my face slamming into the floor.
Did some dips as well, these need work. All in all I spent about 45min playing on my new jungle gym and really enjoyed the whole thing now I just need to figure out some structure to this. More than likely I’ll use these to get my CNS working and for warm up prior to my regular lifts, there is certainly some merrit to the “rings”.
I threw in a few sets of decline and then some push ups on the stairs for good messure.

MEH!!!
It’s a hot bitch out there today, nearly 100* but I’m gonna run them damn stairs if it kills me…and it might. If I no longer post in here can someone send the rest of my Metabolic Drive to Blazen.
Hahah you’ll live dude… but remember STAY FUCKING HYDRATED!
You don’t get “dry” (lose weight and look ripped) when you don’t drink a lot of water…
The more hydrated you are the less water you retain!
Speaking of that… better go down a nalgene haha

Yep yep! I made sure to drink an extra couple waters before I left.
I did luck out bigger than chit on the weather, shortly before I walked out the door a bunch of clouds rolled in and dropped the temp down to a mear 87* with 100% humidity, it really wasn’t that bad.
The best part I ran those stairs 13 times like I promised myself I would eariler in the week, turns out it’s only about 4.5 stories not 6 but its pretty tough, my legs are fried and I’m sweeting like a mad man, got a fan in my lap to help and just downed half a water and opening another.
I’m doing what I can to fight you off blazin! Can’t wait for tomorrow weigh in.
I just came back to my desk from my afternoon run through hell, sweet dripping from every inch. I go to the bathroom to change clothes when a fellow employee comes out of the chitter, I won’t name names lets just call him “the Kool-Aid man”.
I pray he didn’t just drop a bomb, sometimes prayers go unanswered. Now as you can imagine Kool-Aid is a large man, the kind of large man who uses a wand to wipe his ass,and a large man poops in the large stall, lets face it the other toilet is so small it’s all I can do to drop one in there, I digress.
Now I have to go into the big stall to change my clothes, I’m leary, maybe a little frightened but I have to change. I open the door and drop my shorts when it hits me, ASSSSS!!! Ass with 5 S’s not shit, ass, there is a difference between these two smells.
I swear to you I have never had the pleasure to smell a smell like this in my entire life! It’s a mixture of hot garbage, road kill in August and a baseball bat across the teeth.
At this point it’s too late, I’m half naked and gotta change so I do but with my shirt over my nose, like a 5th grader who caught wind of a fart. I did mention that I just ran my ass off in something like 90* heat right? Did I mention I’d just had a creamy strawberry protein shake and a few to many waters?
Good stuff topped off with death ass, I still feel sick to my stomach, didn’t puke but I sure could have. The moral of the story, wash your got dan ass!! Geeezusss!
221lbs again!!! The prize is right there for the taking Blazin 
Well again didn’t lose any weight but have lost an inch around my waste since last time I measured so thats something.
Todays another hot bitch I’ll be putting under armor to the test today on my run.
Diet is normal and boring.
