Curt,

I read your training...you are going to be a great one! I know, you are not into the big arena with this like Jay Cutler and the rest of the beauties, but man, oh man ... you are indeed an inspiration!

Aren't you sweet! Thank you, sweetheart. I hope you're doing well. The weather out there has to be better than what we're looking at in the PA/NJ/NY area.

184.1 lbs. after three cups of coffee, steak and salad today. Not sure that looks much better than the 199 lbs. of about six weeks ago (video next).

Arnold is KING!

My neck and lower back hate me. Need to visit the chiropractor. My dentist said he knew two people who died soon after chiropractic adjustments. What?

Forearms aren't bothering me, but my left elbow has some minor issue going on. I'm trying to deny that right now.

Always liked that movie.

Same here.

Took a video 2/19/2011 at 199 lbs. (on an empty stomach) and another today at 184.1 lbs. (after that aforementioned three cups of coffee, steak and salad).

My popgun measured in at a whopping 14 5/8" at 193.9 lbs. on 10/2 and measures the same today at almost ten pounds less body weight. That's significant, imo. YouTube shows the change over the course of my recent keto effort from 2/19 to 3/31 (14.9 lbs. in just under six weeks or about 2 1/2 lbs. loss per week).

Coolest part is no cardio.

Nice workout, have a great weekend.

As I was getting ready to leave, I see my emails in my phone, and low and behold...there is your journal.

I love it!

You are doing great!

I get notifications of posts in my emails, too. My BlackBerry is attached to me 24/7. lol

And if I can inspire anyone to hit the gym regularly via this journal then all's the better.

What a tech-junkie, lol.

I believe you have inspired a few people, Curt. Keep up the good work!

Wow! You're looking awesome Curt! How did you manage 2.5 lbs a week without muscle loss? That's quite the drop.

Your journal is AMAZING! Visiting next. Hope all is going well with you!

Wow! You're looking awesome Curt! How did you manage 2.5 lbs a week without muscle loss? That's quite the drop.

Thank you! I'm going to continue another six weeks or until I whittle some more excess off the middle.

Doing keto, focusing on zero-carb shakes, steak, salmon, diet colas (just had a Cherry Coke Zero), peanut butter, salads, hamburger patties, and that's about it. Very limited menu, but I don't mind. And I really look forward to my weekly cheat meal. Last night it was lasagna, chocolate milk, chocolate cake and ice cream, coffee with cream and real sugar, and chicken rice soup. Burp!
