Week 2 Friday
Have a phone interview for a new job this A.M., so will hit the gym Saturday.
Weight after yesterday’s carb-up: 254.0 Not as bad as I anticipated. I totally overdid the carbs, and felt totally bloated last night. I’m aiming for 251.0 by Monday morning. That would be 14lbs in two weeks.
Progress is outstanding, keep up the fine work.

Still feeling pretty good. Next planned cheat meal is this upcoming Saturday after my daughter’s High School graduation. She wants to hit a Chinese buffet. Who am I to argue with that?
a pound a day is freaking awesome!

Damn Doug cant believe even with lay off you can throw that kind of weight around on Bench.

You dont think just muscle memory and solid muscle mass?
Makes me think I should have had a huge squat when we were younger.

Weight 247.8 Weight loss has slowed. That is partially expected, but I think I’m also eating too much protein and too little fat to be totally keto. I’ve already grilled a lot of lean meat for this week, so will adjust Sunday after carb up.

Weight 247.6 Weight loss has slowed to a crawl. Still plan to carb up at the Chinese buffet tomorrow. Next week I’m going to start adding volume in the gym and possibly some cardio. Definitely going to add more fat to the diet.
^ Stationary bike, glider or treadmill

Saturday turned from cheat meal to cheat day. I totally caved. I was all emotional over my little girl graduating. She leaves for vacation in Alaska on Friday for a week and a half, and then July 1st she leaves for Air Force basic training. It hit me Saturday that she’s basically gone. Anyway, from the time I woke up to the time I went to bed I gained exactly 10 pounds Saturday–257.0lbs Saturday night. Hopefully it’s jump started the metabolism again and I can drop about 3 or 4 lbs this week.
Its tough brother, I know. Call me later this week when you are off.
I’m pulling for you. You need to do this so you can watch her Air Force career.
