'Convict Conditioning', lol, sounds tuff!

You've done great to go from 19.5 down to 12.2, that's dedication.

I'm loving the little high i feel afterward as well as just the general expansion you feel in the muscles.


Cheers,

Gary.

Obese people are 78 percent more likely to die in a crash,

One of our delivery drivers died that way.. crushed against the steering wheel poor Chap.

A good motivator to keep exercising..... works for me anyway.

4/5 this week.

[Drastic]

3/5 all gym

Minor strain to neck/back muscle on wed. It was much better thurs but my knee hasn't been right since a full day vball tourney. Decided to take 2 days off for 4 days of recovery.

I may do this again at end of each month. 5-6 days straight takes its toll.

[Rupert]

Racketball, 3 runs.... thats it.

4/5

week 2 - 4/4
Did a bunch of moderate physical stuff this weekend too, like cleaning the garage.  This is a good thing because we went to a cousin's house for dinner last night who is a chef and she ended up serving us chicken mole and chocolate mousse for dessert.

BTW, if anybody is interested in my progress, so far I've dropped two pounds, but my body fat percentage has not changed.  I'm hoping that the ratio between lean mass and fat gets better as my glycogen storage goes down.  The meal above was way off my diet, but the rest of the week was really on target.  I'm eating high protein, high fiber, moderate fat and low carb -- basically lean meat, fat-free cottage cheese, eggs and a lot of vegetables.

[gm66]

I like the detail on the diet, i've been a fairly regular juice drinker since buying a masticating juicer.

Will post some stuff later, not exercising tonight, having day off as been doing gf's website all week and weekend and it launched today and she went out delivering her food and somehow i'm knackered ;+}

I had to put the ordering system together and she wanted custom sandwiches.

Could i find an ecommerce patform that let you put a limit on the number of fillings someone could have, a simple tick-box limit ?

No! Woocommerce had an addon for it, Gravity forms had an expensive addon for it but noone had a simple thing like that as part of their basic system.

I ended up using romancart.com for the shopping basket (£70 per year, her business ic COD so no transaction fees) and visual form builder pro for the custom order forms.

It's a bit naff but it works.

Sods law i've now found WP-Pizza, which is free but a £30 addon gives me all the funcionality i need ...

Week 3 4/4

Down another pound, but not really any closer to my goal of 12% body fat.  It seems I am just shrinking and not leaning out, though I've noticed that my pants are feeling a little loser in the middle.  I'm still adjusting my diet, upping the % of calories from fat and lowering my carbs intake.

[Rupert]

week 3... 3/5 Run Squash, run.

Littleman.. its good and steady. keep going.  Christmas is on its way

[gm66]

did 3/5

hoping to add swimming starting this week on Mon/Wed/Fri but not this Mon.

[Drastic]

5/5 back in the gym.

working 7 days/week too..got down to 201 last week.

[littleman]

Good job guys.  Collectively we did 15 out of 19 workouts, that's pretty good!  Dras, you are like 6' 4"?

[Drastic]

yep... my weight range is like 155-195 lol. I'd hate to see someone 6'4 and 155#.

[littleman]

Yeah, 155 seems ridiculous at your size, maybe for a very lanky teenager who hasn't filled out yet.  I'm sure you are pretty lean at 201 with the muscle mass you've added from the exercising.
