Exactly, once I figured out I’d selected deli turkey instead of regular turkey breast on myfitnesspal, it hit me why it had carbs. Sad how they can take something as healthy as turkey and turn it into shit.

Oops sorry, wasn’t trying to call you out.
I remember reading years ago about baseline weight from Thibs or someone. My baseline is 231, I can go up to near 240 but drop it really quick to 231 and stop. Getting and staying in the 220’s is a great success for me but it’s is a bitch.
As you know I’m the great flip/flopper, “must lose weight!!” Oh shit, getting weak, “must gain strength” wash, rinse, repeat. That’s a mental thing I have to overcome if I ever want to reach my goals.
So I assume once you get down around 200, you’ll do sit on it for a few years to reset you base? [/quote]
Lol I am the same Dday, I get down in weight and get pissed cause I cant PR. Then I get PR’s and cant take my shirt off at the pool and then want to lose. Rinse repeat.
I have finally just gave up mentally, I love to lift, I actually love to run and do sports. I like feeling comfortable in my clothes again (at 212 today) so I am just going to do my thing and enjoy the ride. So plan to yes sit at the 200 range, which gives me decent strength, athletic ability and endurance. [/quote]
I’m pretty much at the same spot, I just said I’m going to get srong for a few years and then trim down. It’ll be harder but I’ll get where I want to go.
Today cardio
20 min fast walk on the track

Been going off with the french fried onions, just love them, they can make some boring stuff good. We’ve had green bean casserole twice this week, probably not the best choice in the world but I’m well within my calorie budget.
Energy has been pretty high though out the day but come about 8p I start to yawn, by 9-9:30 I’m ready for bed.
Also rather happy with the protein intake and fairly satisfied with my food choices, need more veggies and antioxidants.

Nothing really wrong with it. I put my kid to bed between 8-9p, generally go to bed myself around 10-10:30, I like that hour before bed to wind down watch TV before bed, 99% of the time if the TV is on it’s on NickJr. The last week or so once I put him to bed I pretty much go to bed myself. The DVR is filling up, getting behind on my stories dammit!

Lol I have older kids, so Maya and I pretty much are on our own after 7 for that down time.
Laptop took a dump this weekend so I wasn’t able to log or track my food so I’ll keep this brief. Diet was fine, typical and right in step with my plans. Did have a cheap meal at the Japanese steak house of which I at about half of my steak and chicken. The real cheat was the cup of rice.
Weighted in on the official office biggest loser scale today, this was after breakfast, coffee, water and with clothes on 228.3. Not a giant improvement but enough to keep me moving forward with my plan for another week. If weight goes down and strength levels off I’ll keep going with my low carb approach otherwise I’ll dig up the diet G1 had me on at the beginning of the year.
DC B2
Preacher curls 85x13-6-5=24 PR
Reverse curls barx38 PR
leg press calf raise 12px12 PR
Squats 275x5 315x4
WM skipped
Great session today with the exception of squats, the wheels have come off. Going to go back to the drawing board with them, weight felt easy had my form been decent I’d have gotten several more. Also working on getting my buddy to video tape them for me so I know just exactly where the problems are. If we can’t come up with a camera I’ll move back to box squats, they helped me out a lot last time for went to shit.

Who doesn’t like waffles Edgy.
Diet yesterday:
Breakfast
2 whole eggs

1/4 cup cheese
Snack
6oz turkey breast
1oz almonds
Lunch
6oz turkey
1 cup green beans
dinner
8 oz bacon wrapped chicken breast
1.5 cups of carrots
Started taking zinc after reading about it on a Poliguins website. Not sure I’ve noticed anything from it just yet but we’ll see. Been sleeping like a rock lately.
Lunch time cardio: SSDD
20 minutes lapping old people
15 min stretching and abs
10 full court sprints
There was a group of folks on the track today walking, lapped them twice and I think they caught on to my game. Suddenly all 3 became race walkers. Got them down one more time and was 2 laps from another when they left. Needless to say it was great for me, I honestly believe that walking fast is harder than jogging.
DDAY- I cant comment on your diet as I have never done that, but best of luck in reaching your goals. However your new style ( Avi) is rocking !!!
what is SSDD? Hope your Mrs is doing well.
Thanks OG, love me some Beeker the Zombie slayer.

Officially the office biggest loser contest at work started 9/4 and I weighed 236.6. I dropped down to 231 in a few days then went on cruise control, didn’t get serious about it until I started this new log on Oct 2nd. On the 3rd I weighed 231. So basically have lost 5lbs since the 3rd and 10 total.
So after typing all that I realized I misread your question. Technically speaking it’s over on the 22nd of November, right before we cut out for Thanksgiving. If things keep going well I’ll likely keep going until I decide to stop, can’t see myself under 200lbs.

Didn’t lift yesterday was “sick”, honestly I don’t know what to call it. Kind of felt like my blood sugar was low without the mild nausea but kind like the flu. Lets just say I was shitty yesterday. Forced down my food and finally snapped out of it in the evening. Maybe lack of carbs, could be related to the zinc I’m taking, just don’t know. Hopefully today is better, so far so good.
