Week 1, 5/20/12 - weight: 238.0, strength is going well

Week 2, 5/27/12 - weight 235.0, Strength felt a little low, but I wasn’t able to measure my food earlier this week, so I might have cut it a little low. Had a cheat meal wednesday. Also bought smaller jeans. What fruit do you want me to switch to this week?

Week 3, 6/3/12 - weight 239.8 Strength was good this week. You know about the cheat meal. Had kiwi for fruit, added about 1/4 cup salsa to some meals. That’s all that I did this week. Clothes still fit loose.

Week 4, 6/9/12 - weight 241.4. Strength was amazing this week. PR’d on everything and every day. This is a day early since I’m going to dinner tonight Black forrest pastrami reuben from Brents Deli. It shall be amazing. Last cheat meal was last wednesday, so 9 days ago. Clothes still fit loose. I didn’t have any deviations at all even while driving to California. I’ve also been really thirsty all week.

Weel 5, 6/17/12 - weight 239.6. Strength is still going well, hit a pr on my squat post surgery this week. Had a cheat meal on Friday (4 slices of pizza, 1.5 chocolate eclairs). I’ve switched my routine to doing my lifting every other day and cardio every other day. Other than that everything is going well and my clothes are not getting any tighter in the waist.

Week 6, 6/24/12 - weight 237.6. Strength is good. I didn’t do any cardio this week at all except for a morning 7.5 mile hike in the forrest with dad. I also missed arms last week, so I did that session on monday and did this whole week from tue-friday so I had 5 sraight days. Also ate a little more fruit than I should have on monday, and had a small frozen yoghurt on wednesday. Still putting some catchup and what not on my food, small amounts though. Other than that things are obviously going well. Let me know what you think for this week. I’ll try to get some cardio (been really unmotivated for it lately) in, and stick with the new training sched you sent starting tomorrow. If I do start cardio I’ll have to do it before bed since I’m going to be waking up at 530ish for work starting Thursday, and I don’t want to get up much earlier than that :slight_smile: I’ll also make sure that tonights cheat meal is more awesome than last week lol.

Week 7, 7/1/12 - weight 235-236. I’m making a guess here since I forgot my scale at home. The two I have access to ranged from 234-237. I’ll have my real one sent to me so by next weekend things should be back on track. Clothes are still getting looser. I have a pair of dress pants I just bought that will be a good way to measure that. They don’t feel too much looser than when I bought them last weekend, but they are easier to button. My gym belt is also easier to cinch down. I’m still lifting every other day and doing the prowler post training.

Week 8, 7/7/12 - weight unknown. The scale that I used last week that put me at 235 read 238.8 today. Not sure how accurate it is, but my good one is coming on Monday. Also, my dress pants are a tiny bit looser. Nothing drastic, but they feel easier to button, along with my belt. Strength was a tad low this week because I was working 3-midnight. I’m back to mornings this week. Pushed the prowler 3x including today. I sent you an email regarding a cheat meal, I’m going to go ahead and take one today. Most likely a pizza. I took one last Sunday and I had a stuffed crust pizza. Other than that things are going well still. If you want me to limit the cheats I can, just let me know.

Week 9, 7/14/12 - weight 231.4. This would be an official weight with my proper scale. Last official weight with the proper scale was week 6 at 237.6. So an actual drop of 6 pounds roughly. Give or take a little for water. I only prowled once this week as well (I was planning on more but considering the weight drop maybe not??). Weather was bad the first half, and I was tired after gym yesterday. I made sure to eat all the meals, water consumption was a little low, but overall everything was on point this week. Strength felt fine as well. Some exercises it’s up, some it’s stayed the same. I attached a pic as well for reference.

Week 10, 7/21/12 - weight 232.6. Not bad considering my weight on monday was still close to 240 from the double cheat meal. Like we discussed I’ll keep it to only on per week until I’m lean enough for more. Strength feels fine. Staying steady in some exercises, little higher in others. Other than that I’ll keep plugging along. Oh and pushed the prowler 3x this week (including the session later today I’ll be doing).

Week 11, 7/28/12 - weight 233.6. My clothes are fitting the same, haven’t gotten tighter. Strength is staying level, you know about the small amount of candy this week. I’ve also made it a point to drink a gallon of water every single day this week. Tell me what you think. Still no cheat meal? lol

I also have local honey from Oklahoma. Along with grass fed raw milk. Getting farm fresh eggs this week along with grass fed local beef. The diet has changed to accomodate the milk.

106

I don’t deviate from the plan at all besides the weekly cheat meal. He took that away but I’m kinda hoping that when he sees the update he’ll let me have one. Stupid bite sized candy lol

You shouldn’t be, your weight is going to fluctuate daily due to a lot of factors, that’s why either using measurements or the mirror are the best ways to judge how things are progressing. If you look good in the mirror and things like your waist numbers are going down, who cares what the scale says, my advice is to throw the thing out!

Looks like things are going well though, keep up the work.

What kind of shakes are you using in the diet?

My shakes right now are 1 cup of grass fed raw milk, 1tbs pb, and 2 scoops protein powder.

112

Nice, but you are just using Whey or something like that? I ask because I was wondering JMs view on shakes as Meal replacements. Im on CBL now and really like it, but in the past always did a meal-shake-meal plan ala Dave Palumbo like you are doing now and always found that easier.

He’s fine with shakes. I made the switch to True Protein which is his recommended powder.

Week 12, 8/4/12 - weight 233.8. I think this is solid considering I had a rougher week. Lots going on with work last week and this upcoming week. I made it to the gym but only prowled once this past week. Plus got into some candy again. Still drinking plenty of water and with all things considered I only went up .2 lbs. I’ll try to keep up with prowling, though it’s a tad harder to do in this Oklahoma heat (105+ day temp).

Siouxfan in the wo day, meal 2, what are the 2 tb pb?

116

[quote]Narcisus wrote:

2 tablespoon of peanut butter

It was switched to only one tb pb now because I’m using raw milk instead of water in the shakes. I’m picking it up from a local lady here in Oklahoma and it’s grass fed and completely raw. Good stuff. I don’t use natural pb though. It’s one of the only things I won’t buy natural.

117

Back in action now! Sorry for the absence, work was a little nuts. I’ll have an update this weekend as per the usual.

We’ll just start over again and call this week 1

Week 1. Weight 240.0. Did legs yesterday, hit PR’s on almost everything. So I guess the crap food and time off helped. Knee felt fine btw. I’m doing the 4 sessions per week, no cardio at this point. Other than that my clothes really didn’t change in fit and I’ll keep plugging along.

Week 2, 9/14/12, weight 240.2. I have to mention for this week my weight went up to 243 at the start of the week and I got it down to 240 by friday morning. Had a cheat meal last night. Other than that no deviations. Made all weight sessions and 2 prowler sessions (i’m doing them one every other day so it’s 7 days per week) I have to take tomorrow off since I’m having blood work done monday morning. I’ll send you the results if you’re interested. Things are feeling strong.
