Not feeling it today. Drove all the way to the gym after work, and damn near didn’t get out of the car. The only reason I finally talked myself into it is that I won’t be able to workout this weekend.
Any way, the weight is still coming off slowly. Just 19.2 lbs in 10 weeks. Less than two pounds a week for those who are math challenged. Not going to get anywhere near 200 by March 29. I knew it was a stretch (47 pounds in 12 1/2 weeks) but I didn’t really think it through before I wrote that number down.
I’m now shooting for 205 by May 27. That would put me down about 66 lbs in a year.
Dude with all the shit you have been through and someone who sees you every day, you have made a damn good change with your body so far.

I’m going to start doing more dumbbell overhead pressing and some push presses to try to bring up my military. I’ve switched to a more narrow, false grip recently. That “feels” better, but hasn’t helped my strength at all. The kolkov press bullshit will take me FOREVER to figure out.

I was rotating three meals over and over for dinner, eating salads for lunch, and skipping breakfast. Staying at about 1600 calories per day except Friday nights and Saturdays (Friday nights I would inevitably cave while drinking bourbon). I have been totally overdoing the calories on the weekend. So I switched things up this week.
I bought $120 worth of every kind of frozen dinner you can imagine. Two of the boxes didn’t have to be frozen and went in the fridge, or else my freezer door wouldn’t have shut. I’m still keeping the calories right at 1600/day, but hopefully the variety of flavors during the week helps keep me under control somewhat on the weekend. I’ve even started eating breakfast.
I have a chart on a yellow legal pad where I write down the Manufacturer of the meal, what it is, how many calories it contains, and a rating from 1 to 10. There are so many of the damn things that I needed a way to make sure I didn’t buy the shitty ones again. Unfortunately, it seems you get what you pay for with these things.
I am only bothering to type this out because I am avoiding homework Derek has given me.
Lol
I suck I know.

Didn’t have a log book with me. Just wanted to get home and play Bioshock. Didn’t work out yesterday, got the back waxed instead. Son comes to visit for Spring Break this Friday. I’m about to pee my pants with anticipation.

Did you buy Bioshock?
Played about an hour. Got Friday off it looks like now

My son visited last week for Spring Break. It was great. We had a blast. I ate like total shit and didn’t work out. On top of that, I loaded creatine. Hence the 8 pound weight gain.
Now I’m a basket case. Won’t see him again until he moves here in August. Seems like an eternity.

I figured out that the weak point in my Military/Push Press seems to be my mid to lower back. Feels like it’s going to snap in two when I put anything overhead. Gotta figure out how to address that.

Diet is still in the shitter. Missing my son again has me emotionally eating at night when I’m alone. I’m rationalizing that at least I haven’t started hitting the bottle on weeknights, but I really have to get a handle on my food consumption again soon.
Do I need to guilt you
