Week 4 Wednesday

Legs really sore from yesterday for some reason.

Jogged/Walked a mile. Holy shit. I coughed up pieces of lung that air hasn’t touched in a decade. Then last night at 2:00 AM while driving back from Chicago I broke down again and ate a double quarter pounder and fries. I was still right at my calorie limit for the day, but I feel dirty.

Next time you go to eat that take out burger just remember the kids that made it probably didnt wipe his hands after he shit. That should fix your problem.

lol, just teasing ;)… I had McD’s yesterday too. Felt like hell after and had horrible cramps. But every now and then I just gotta have it! :smiley:

Nice work in here! Your rocking it!

Weight 244.8 Exactly 21 lbs. down in 4 weeks. Had my cheat day yesterday. A friend from Texas sent some home made flour tortillas and salsa. Punished that for breakfast and lunch, then consumed over 3300 calories at dinner at TGIFridays. That’s right, over 3300 calories and only drank water. Still only gained a pound since yesterday.

I’m starting to sweat so much sooner during my workouts. During the first week, I’d come home bone dry. Now I’m dripping everywhere 10 minutes into lifting and have to stand in front of a fan at home to get it to stop.
