Yup, and I can do either 35w or 35e at the split, almost the same drive time. Then I have another split if I go 35e to either stay 35 through OK City, or take the 75 and go through Tulsa, about 5 minutes difference on a 9 hour drive.
Weigh in? I hit a new low today, 184s.
I haven’t had access to a scale all week, and I’ve been eating a lot. My only saving grace is that I have been training, but I may have gained weight this week for all I know.

Nothing wrong with a reset in the process. Will set you up for a new low nicely. Enjoy!
(Says your competition)
We’re meeting friends about 15 minutes from 35 and 121 at 7:30. If your closer to 6 we could meet up for sure. Let me know if you think that works and I’ll look for a place to meet up
I’ll have a better time estimate when we get on the road, we’re at a distillery with the wedding party right now so we’ll see how that goes. The wife may be driving.

Love your way to workout on holidays Quality.
I think it’s awesome that you might meet up, nice to see when T nationers meet up.
Cool. Just keep me posted. Best place to meet is called Lewisville
Things took longer than expected down here, won’t be passing through Dallas until after 8 at this point.
Bummer man. Well already be out in Plano. Drive safe!
Yeah, maybe another time. I have a cousin in Dallas that I reconnected with at the wedding that I need to go visit, some time.

Okay, so the vacation and wedding are over, and now it’s time to assess the damage. Things were going a mile a minute for the last few days, didn’t even track food, and ate a whole bunch of really crappy road food and drank a ton of coffee while travelling on Saturday. Got home about 2:30 Sunday morning, slept like garbage, had to deal with stepson drama Sunday morning, then took a nap Sunday afternoon, watched Game of Thrones, and went back to bed. Did my first 2 weigh-ins Sunday and Monday, and I did some damage, but it remains to be seen how much is from being lagged by travel, and how much I actually gained back…

Back on the wagon with proper diet and tracking today, and we’ll see how long it takes to get back to where I was before the vacation.

I bet you get back pretty quick. Your probably holding some water from sub par food and traveling. Get back on track and you’ll drop. Sorry I missed ya bud

Yeah, I did some pretty good damage this last week, but hopefully will bounce back quickly.
Welcome back! We can recover from our poor choices together. I was 211 Friday and 217 yesterday. I’m putting my head down until I see 210 again. Hopefully that only takes a week.

Sounds like a good plan! Yeah, I haven’t totally caught back up with your log, but I did see Easter candy was involved, as well as alcohol. One week can’t undo months of work, but it can definitely get you sidetracked if you let it.
Heh, I was in your neck of the woods over the weekend as well, but that was a drive-through at about midnight Saturday night while bingeing on coffee and junk food…

I know what you mean about falling off the wagon. I’ve been a little loose over Easter too. Trying to reign it in this week before I go on holiday and completely lose my sh#t !!

Okay, first day back, and I’ve decided to count my workouts down in Austin as day 11 and 12 of my last 5/3/1 cycle, so starting cycle 4, using the same training maxxes as last cycle since I’m feeling a little bit run down, and I’m going to keep bench light/close grip/off pins to protect my shoulders.

Felt run-down today, still not rested up from the trip, and feeling the effects of poor food choices. No conditioning.
4/29/19 food for yesterday
No breakfast, had to go in early and forgot to do my breakfast shake.
Lunch: Salad with olive oil and vinegar. 4 oz. chicken breast.
Snack (45 minutes before training): 4 oz. chicken breast. 4 oz. potato salad.
Dinner: Roasted chicken leg and thigh quarter. 1/2 cup black beans. 1 cup turnip greens.
Bedtime: Breakfast shake + creatine.
Totals for today 1667 calories, 158g protein, 118g carbs, 62g fat. Way under on calories today, skipping my breakfast shake threw me off and I never got totally back on track.
4/30/19 morning weigh-in 184.4# Gradually coming back down to where it should be.

Sounds like you had a good time away. Did you keep up to date with GoT?
It’s good to be away and just eat and drink for a few days.
The hard part is to get back on track.
Nice workout to start out with Steve 
When I’m finished building muscles (that is when I’ve found out I ain’t building anything) I’ll try a couple of cycles of 531OTHSteve
