Resurrecting this journal because it proved a valuable tool for my weight loss a few years back. Here I am back where i started, unfortunately. All it took was one US tour and a new romance to bring me back to my starting point lol... I didn't think I was that weak
.. At least I now know, right? Anyways, I've been at it since July, but I haven't had my heart really in it, then I took a vacation to Denver and got my ass handed to me. I couldn't catch my breath and realized it probably wasn't just the altitude. I'm having problems with I losing and getting going, I keep teetering on a few pounds and gaining awkwardly. I gained 3 lbs yesterday... Even after my morning workout and afternoon bike ride. I'm cleaning up my diet but it's not 100%, however I don't understand the 3 lb weight gain, I definitely ate clean for the past few days.. I'm sure there's many factors, but any advice on jump starting those first couple pounds would be appreciated. I'm 34 206#'s will get a bf% later on but I'm going to say ball park of 30%. Am thinking of starting a peptide regiment as I had initially years ago and was happy with, currently only running supps of the bb.com variety. Here's the line up:
phase 8 protein 1-2 scoops a day
allmax bcaa 1 scoop a day
cla (1250mg) 5000mg a day
fishoil 5000mg a day
epi burn 2 pills per day
thinking of starting a Cjc 1295 w/o dac with ghrp2 100mcg/200mcg 2x per day, possibly adding t3 to the mix after some more research of course.

bosu medicine crawl is: start on the bosu ball in starting sit up position. Do a sit-up then push on to your hands and crawl into plank. Jump feet to hands and land in a squat, grab medicine ball stand up and slam it down. Squat down, jump back into plank, and crawl your hands back to your feet keeping your butt down, and land back on the bosu ball. That's one full round. Push ups are optional and sometimes when I'm feeling strong I'll throw one in. I saw this on a friends Instagram and had to try it, I don't know what the real name is if there is one, but it's awesome and I'm glad I started doing them.
im always looking for new exercises, any suggestions you guys have id love to hear. Any questions anyone has please ask. I lost 40#'s before I'll lose 50 this time, I'm not fucking around.
