Hey, I remember this place...

[JerseyDevil]

Weighed in at 269.8 this morning. My goals was to be at -10 per month, so another pound to go, but totally in reach.

Hey Pylon. What type of diet are you on? I bet a CKD diet would work great for you, but it is strict.

 

[Pylon]

That's pretty close to what I've been doing, JD, though not as measured as it should be, I guess.

The biggest difference I think is that I do get carbs during the week, but they are all of the "slow" variety. Spinach and beans mostly, with some other veg tossed in on occasion. I do a carb load one day a week, usually Sunday with football.

It works pretty well, and I have very little counting to do. I think I'll have to be more strict and methodical once I drop a bit more, but this is pretty effective for the initial charge.

 

[JerseyDevil]

Hey if it's working, then you are doing it right! Yeah football and carbups go hand in hand. What the hell are we going to do after this Sunday? There is always hockey, but it's not the same.

LOL no idea. I'm sure we'll make do, right?

Officially hit the 10 lb mark this morning. A couple of days late, but the start of the month caught me the day after the refeed, so it's ok. March will be the same way. But making progress nicely, so no complaints.

 

[JerseyDevil]

Good job!

 

[Pylon]

Thanks JD. Started @280, happy to be at SB weekend in the mid 260s.

 

[omerta2010]

Congrats on the progress. I have pizza every weekend to.

 

[Pylon]

Thanks, dude. I stick to Sunday for carbs, so I'll post my number in your journal in the AM. Not likely to hang with JDs increase, but still good for comparison.

Then again, the pizza place screwed up our order tonight and had to remake our pie. They left the prosciutto off the first one, so they gave us both of them. So there is more than a full large pie waiting for breakfast...

 

[Pylon]

264.

Oh, hello pizza. I've missed you...

 

[Pylon]

First of all, that pizza wasn't that good. Didn't like the crust at all.

Second...I think I ate too much of it. Might not be a lunch in my plans now...

 

[omerta2010]

I hate it when that happens. your looking forward to something and it just isn't as good as you'd hoped.

Hope you had a good weekend.

 

[Pylon]

Thanks dude. Not bad. But paid the price with a massive hangover. Well earned, I might add.

 

[omerta2010]

What was that!!!

As long as you earned it and enjoyed getting the lead up to then hangover then it's always worth it.

 

[Pylon]

Yup, earned it. And enjoyed every moment.

 

[Pylon]

Back at it today. Clean food, 6 rounds of bag work this evening.

 

[Pylon]

45 min cardio last night.

Still haven't recovered from the Sunday binge, at least not according to the scale. But feel good, so that's a plus...

 

[JerseyDevil]

Me neither. Went from 198 to 205, and still holding .

 

[Pylon]

Dude, why are you smiling about that?

 

[Burner02]

way to go, Py!
dam scale this afternoon registered 215 for me...+5....better be the afternoon and lots of water and creatine....need to be DROPPING weight...and I DON'T GET PIZZA!!!!!

 

[omerta2010]

Me neither. Went from 198 to 205, and still holding .

As of this morning I'm back to the 255.

But glad your feeling better, training with a hangover totally sucks.

 

[Pylon]

Thanks, dude. It's a vicious circle, ain't it?

 

[Pylon]

45 min bike cardio. ho hum.

 

[Pylon]

Finally back down to pre-SuperBowl weight this morning. Shouldn't take that long. Grrrrr.

 

[Pylon]

Got in 6 rounds on the bag Friday, nothing but shoveling snow and ice yesterday. Stupid winter.

Cheat day came early because of Valentines dinner. Went to a historic house dinner thing, had an overcooked steak and average cheesecake. What a waste. Also saw The Rite. Made dinner seem gourmet.

Back at it today...

 

[Pylon]

Clean intake, 45 minutes on the bike for cardio.

 

[JerseyDevil]

Finally back down to pre-SuperBowl weight this morning. Shouldn't take that long. Grrrrr.

Took me 6 days to lose the 7 lbs I gained on the weekend pigout.... just in time for a carbup. Gained a more reasonable 3.2 lbs. I sure do feel leaner though.

 

[Pylon]

I wish I felt that way. I am always afraid to weigh in the day after, so I get through a clean day first. Every single time I feel like I've taken a giant step backwards. Very demotivating.

But, intellectually I know it is all part of the process. I think it bothered me more this week because it came a day early, so I had just gotten back to where I was. Hoping for better this week.

I hate it to, it's a total mind screw. I'm about ready to throw the scale out the window since what I see in the mirror seems like it's never, ever showing on the scale.

I guess that could be a good thing if it's converting fat to muscle, but it still messes with my mind every time.

You'll kill it this week.

Guys.... look at this way. If your weight stays the same, and your waist is getting smaller that means you are gaining lean mass! You think guys on steroids are complaining because they are gaining weight, yet their waist is getting smaller?

Let how you look and bf/waist measurement be your guide. Measuring bf with calipers is tricky, but the tape measure doesn't lie.
