Way off topic, but…
You said SUPPER! I knew I wasn’t the only one left! My wife gives me grief about it all the time. I can’t seem to convince her that “dinner” is the largest meal of the day, not the last.

Dude - you need the fats. Get more dietary fat. Coconut oil, olive oil, fatty meats. Then your body will quit converting protein to energy and use the body’s fat stores for it since it knows there’s enough in the environment. You’ll end up putting on more muscle too. Two and a half tablespoons of Olive oil can get you the extra 500 kcal soldog is talking about.
Non-fat yogurt is evil. Non-fat milk is evil. Taking fat out of the diet doesn’t help anything. Taking carbs out DOES. If you’re undereating the body sez FAMINE and holds onto fat for when things get really bad.[/quote]

Of course, with your weight gaining issues, DCA, you could probably use olive oil, instead or milk, in your cereal.
I use skim milk (the stuff we get has more protein and the taste and consistency is more like 2%), but make sure to get my mixed nuts, fish and flaxseed oils and eat whatever meat I fancy. I have definitely lost weight the easiest when eliminating simple sugars (soda, candy, dessert, etc…) and a portion of the simple carbs. That, insane amounts of treadmilling and moderate resistance training is how I lost 110#.
LittleStrick - 110 pounds - wow! Congratulations.

We eat breakfast in the morning, dinner at noon, and supper in the evening 'round here. If we are having potted meat or Vienna sausages at noon with Saltenes or a big ole wedge up hoop cheese it’s lunch…

Amen!
Jwilly-
fat loss hits these bumps all the time, your body wants to hold onto the weight- really.
It hits these walls, and stalls and it takes a big push to kick start the fat loss again.
Have you looked at John Berardi ? His precision nutrition site is very good.

Thank god. Society as we (or at least I) know it, is safe.

Thanks KMC. I have been looking at Benardi’s site for a while now. I need to make the plunge with that. I sure appreciate the suggestion.

It’s my world as I have known it for 48 years. I sure hope a big part of it is still around for my daughter…
Wednesday evening workout
Rubber band dislocates: 20 reps
YTWL warm up 8 lbs
Flat DB press: 4x65x12
Incline DB press: 4x45x12
Rolling DB triceps press: 4x45x10
Reverse grip incline press: 4x115x8
Even with about average numbers, the workout was a nice way to end the day. Home alone tonight, the wife and young’un are living it up at the beach.I had a nice little pump when I walked out of the gym. I should have run an interval. I left with too much in the tank

Thursday morning workout
Squats in the smith: 115x20, 135x15, 185x10, 2x225x5, 2x255x5
Floor wipers: 2 sets of 15
Decline leg raises: 2 sets of 20
I opted out of the interval today. Guess I’m getting lazy. I’ll start back hitting it hard Monday. I’ll try to redouble my efforts in getting the good fats in me and work like hell. My shoulder is way more tolerable of late so I’m looking forward to pushing myself a bit harder as well. Off to the beach after work for a few days with the family. Of course I have a pile of ‘honey-do’s’ and ‘son-do’s’ waiting for me.
I hope everyone has a nice July 4 holiday.
JW’s early week ending thought: How come lemon washing up liquid contains real lemons, but lemon juice contains artificial flavorings?
Nice training there young fella! Have a Happy 4th of July!
j_w, Nice training!
Hey, can I get you to come up here and do some ‘floor wipers’ in my kitchen? These kids are driving me nuts!

Monday morning workout
Rubber band dislocates: 20 reps
YTWL shoulder warm up: 8 lbs
Barbell complex: 6 sets 7 reps
Treadmill interval: 10 minutes
I was shooting for 7 sets. I did 3 rotations and rested about 5 minutes, then 3 more rotations. By the time set 6 rolled around I was sick to my stomach. I should have gone for another rotation of 2, but i wussed out. I only had enough gas for 10 minutes or intervals.
Looks like the wife and youngun are staying at the beach for a while longer. I have come to a sobering conclusion of late. I am becoming my grandparents. The other Sunday after my workout I went out for coffee and ended up walking thru the car lot. I don’t need a car, it was some place to wander on an early Sunday morning…
Just like my grandfather would do until his dementia got the best of his mind. Saturday I spent it just like my Grandmother spent her time at the beach. Sitting on the front porch watching the cars ride by and the people move in and out of the rental cottages. Its funny my grandparents spent time down there from the 30’s till the late 2002 when my grandmother passed.
They brought your chickens for eggs in the 30’s. There wasnt a bridge to get over to the Outer Banks. There was one cottage every 300 yards or so, little more than fishing shacks most of them. They watched ships burn at night off shore during WWII. They watched it grow thru 2 centuries.
Even with the cottages that sleep 30 and the national chain grocery stores you can still find a cottage with no AC on the ocean front…
Kind of like dinner; the meal we eat at noon…
JW’s morning thought: Doesn’t a lightning rod on top of church show a lack of faith?
Never been to the Outer Banks, but I hear that it is beautiful. My brother and his crew are heading down there in a week or two and staying on Nag’s Head. God willing, me and my crew will be joining them down there next year.
It will be good to go back to my birth state. I haven’t been there in 9 years, and that was cutting through the corner on the way to my honeymoon. Man do I miss the SE.
