This week’s stats are amazing. I haven’t done anything different than last week but the numbers don’t lie. Or do they? Weight, inches and fat started dropping off of me in the second half of the week. I’m not quite sure what happened, I ate my usual diet, I had pretty high sodium levels and [...]
I took pictures again. While my measurements dropped drastically from the last 4 days, including 4.4 lbs weight loss the picture doesn’t show that much of a difference. I think I have finally managed to get a half decent 45 degree shot of me as well. The legs could look better but it’s definitely a [...]
Well I had skipped my cardio yesterday and I almost missed it today. I generally do my cardio in the evening after my kids go to sleep. On photo days it gets pushed back a bit later after I complete the photos for the blog entry. But tonight it got postponed even more. My father-in-law [...]
Today I ate light on protein. It was not on purpose but I know the cause. I ate meatloaf for dinner instead of some kind of clean meat which is nowhere near as protein rich as a steak or piece of chicken is yet it’s just as calorie rich if not richer for the same [...]
Today started out as any other weekend. Late breakfast, skipping morning snack then lunch.

My wife made chicken in her signature paprika [...]

Today’s eating went OK even with the couple of snags that I have hit. I forgot to pack my protein shake powder in the morning so I had to mooch off of a co-worker. Lucky for me there are two guys at work who also use protein supplements in their diet so they could help [...]
Today’s chest day was a bit weaker than the last one. I just didn’t really have the energy to go as strong as last time. But then again I know that building muscles and working strong is not going to happen on 1,700 calories a day. I’m just glad that I still have the muscles [...]
