Not a record low, but 8 lbs off my last weigh in… and since it is still 1.4 lbs higher than my lowest yet, and my diets been strict… I’m definitely blaming all those carbs in the Zone.
That zoning really effed me up.
Sidenote:
I had this suspicion that my scale was off, as it is a cheap digital, my gf tried it and said it was 6 lbs lower, (assuming she didn’t drop 6 lbs since last time she weighed herself, and her scale is accurate)…
That’s annoying, but as long as the #s are coming off and my body’s getting tighter… it’s fine with me…
Can’t wait to get in the gym today…
62 Days til cruise… 3.4 lbs til goal, getting very close to boob-less… wish me luck… maybe I’ll come back from this cruise and for the first time in my life I’ll have a tan upper body and not just tan arms.
8lb loss! Holy crap, I thought you’d said you had a bad week? That’s a freaking great week! Well done!!
Yeh yeh… but recall 2 weeks ago I was 237, then 243, 244, 246 up up up… then I got off scale for a week… next time I weighed in… 238… so I either lost 8 lbs from 246 or I never really gained… I just maintained.

Could have been water retension from all those carbs in the zone diet? IDK?
Either way 8lbs is a good thing.

BW: ??
Friday I drove home to see my gf and 
my car’s upper radiator hose leaked and caused me headaches… got that fixed up saturday…
Didn’t weigh in today but I confirmed that my scale is down at least 8 lbs as I weighed in on Sunday at my house at 248… clearly I didn’t gain 10 lbs… my scale is just off 10 lbs… which is disheartening that I weigh 250 ish… but actually kind of makes me smile. as I look damn good for 250.
Went shopping saturday with the Gf to get some new dress shirts because my old ones look ridiculous.
I’m 17.5" neck… according tot he women in the store… 36/37 length arm… puts me at an XL-XXL Shirt…
I currently have been wearing XL and it looks like i’m ready to someone’s parachute.
So I say fuck it, try on a medium… it fits in the body just fine and the arms are 34/35 so those are ok… its just the neck is a 15.5" too small but I don’t button it at work anyway…
Who would’ve thought I’d fit into the body of a M sized dress shirt… the woman at the store said I’m doing it wrong, I put it on, she was flabbergasted.
Result:
I have a very odd body type… and I submit to you that I am 250 lbs of mainly muscle and shall be shredded at 225.
Good deal man, I was starting worry that you’d have said F’it or something.
Finding out you wear a size smaller than you thought is always a nice surprise. I love pulling out clothes from back when and they actually fit or are too big, it’s a great feeling.

BW: didn’t weigh in… didn’t wanna get discouraged… my weight hasn’t dipped below “238” on my scale in 2-3 weeks
I guess I’ll be starting my V-Diet at about “235” or 243 real world…
Let’s hope for an outcome of “220” or 228 real world
BW: 242 – Horrible.
I guess my diet is to blame, its been really difficult to keep it in check the past few days with the busy work schedule…
I’m honestly glad this is the last week of this program, I’ll be doing straight Crossfit until V-Diet-day
Crossfit really is a no-nonsense workout… you either do it or you don’t you can’t half ass… and When I incorporate lots of CF into my routine I see lots of change
My supply of HRX is running out, I’ve got 2 bottles coming but I’ve been spreading it out taking about 1/2 the dosage or less (haha 0 ) to make sure I had some til the 14th but I’m still going to run out…
Oh well…

Not really big on cardio… but do something just to keep my heart rate up a little longer.
BW: 242 – like I said horrible
BW: 240.8 – Ok thats more like it… but still I’ve been floating at this # forevvvvver
Today I plan on doing some CrossFit

Deadlift
65lbs x 15
Power hang clean
65lbs x 12
Front Squat
65lbs x 9
Push Jerk

CF
5 Rounds for Time of:
Deadlift
65lbs x 15
Power hang clean
65lbs x 12
Shoulder Press – Oops I effed and did these instead of Front Squats
65lbs x 9
Push Jerk
65lbs x 6
13:40.50
Jump Rope
10 Mins – Alternated between feet and two footed jumps, varied speed and jumping height… wow I’m actually decent now perhaps Double Unders by Sept

Supplies are in!
BW: 242.6 – wtf.
I can’t wait to start the V-Diet. I have no problem with being boring for ‘food’ intake… I have no problem with drinking my meals…
I have all of my problems fitting in time to shop, prepare, cook, and then finally eat healthy meals…
Next week will be a real cut week with emphasis on greens and fish… CF all week should def cut me down to “235” seems like a big jump in a week but I’m 90% positive all this 238-242 nonsense is water weight from excessive carb intake… (had no real choice the past few days)

Weekend was pretty good, a few more carbs than I would have liked; however, I walked about 5-6 miles on the 4th… Ah gotta love going into Boston on the busiest pedestrian holiday…
Terrible Idea, but hey it wasn’t mine.
This week is CF hell… I’m glad I’m starting today, as the CF games were this weekend and I would have died trying to complete the 3 workouts in 1 day.
Today calls for a rest day, but I’m going to start with Yesterday’s workout
