Little Wing Gets Serious

[Little Wing]

My eating is still really good. I have added eggs with some yolk not all and keto coffee in the morning and a protein shake, mixed with water not milk, before my supper 12 hours later.

I want to buy the Naked Whey "ONLY ONE INGREDIENT: 100% Grass Fed Pure Whey Protein with zero additives. Naked Whey no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors and is GMO-Free, Growth Hormone Free, Soy Free and Gluten-Free." Sounds pretty good. I think I'll buy the plain and get a thing of peanut/ chocolate and mix those. I don't find the need for sweeteners. Their chocolate flavor naked has coconut sugar in it. Choc pb stuff is "ONLY TWO INGREDIENTS: Non-GMO, Roasted Peanuts and Raw Organic Cacao" I don't like my coffee sweet so this should be fine.

I thought the keto coffee with butter would be horrid but it's not.

212 pounds right now. I'm not sure how accurate my scales or these type scales are but they say my body fat has gone from 94 pounds of my entire weight to 77 pounds of my entire body weight. BMI 34 to 31. I think it might be better to aim at a certain BMI than a weight number. A certain degree of lean. Long way to go.

 

[Little Wing]

All the stuff I read on BMI can be confusing and to make it worse there are new standards I'm seeing that try to say a person of my weight is not obese. I think it's horseshit and not helpful. Size and weight without determining if a person is big boned etc or other variables. Bust size for instance or body shape. I can look fairly decent CLOTHED at a high weight but actual body fat be high because my bone structure is tiny. Saying 150 pounds is good for someone 5'9 doesn't apply to everyone.

I think I was about 120 here. I'm going for long and lean with some muscle. I don't think picking a number is a goal. I'll have to see when I get there.

I agree completely; according to BMI charts, I'm supposed to weigh between 147 and 163; I haven't weighted that since I was in 9th grade! I'm at 195 right now and feel like I have 10-15 pounds of excess; but I really don't know until the excess is gone. The BMI charts are total crap IMO

 

[Little Wing]

I think the old ones are better. The new ones seem to be catering to the bs notion of fat acceptance.

Work work work work work....

Today I'm taking just for me. Hitting the weights hard maybe adding small amounts of weight to my exercises.

I found a better protein drink with slightly less carbs to use till I order the naked whey stuff. EAS still has shit in it I don't want tho but it mixes well with water. I drink half with my coffee then refrigerate the other half to have with meal in 12 hours. Trying to buy all organic food. Added cucumbers and cut down on tomatoes.

 

[Little Wing]

BTW I have taken before pics but will post them when I have made significant progress.

Is it ok to do this with a bar until I get this tool they are using? I have a curved bar and it seems to work ok.

Yes a bar is fine, it's the same essential movement, but the ropes/soft handles tend to feel better on the wrists.

 

[Little Wing]

Thank you. I still feel like I'm getting my arms back as far as he is in the vid so for now this is good. Buying more equipments after I pay off my guitars. Dug out my leather jump rope today.

 

[Little Wing]

Fasting labs done today so I decided to walk home for the exercise..... it's a long damned walk. Predicting waking up with leg cramps tonight. It would have been easy but my son's legs fit a guy that is 6 foot 7 and he walks fast. lol

 

[Little Wing]

Small organic chicken breast with lemon and a whole perfect avocado which is a miracle to find in my town. Taking all my vitamins etc with my meal now so it doesn't make my body think I'm not fasting... probably weird but I was wondering...

Any good local produce up in Maine this time of year?

There's some but corn, sweet potatoes... stuff I can't have. Prob get some seafood. My fridge quit n w have been using a mini but new one gets delivered tomorrow. Time for some shrimp and salmon. Normally I would have snapped up a bunch of the tiny little sweet potatoes I saw today from a local farmer. I should have taken a pic, they were like 3 and 4 inches long. Too funny. And apples... this is the time of year I'm usually baking pies.

 

[Little Wing]

I have been on keto eating plan since Sept 13th.... My doctor suddenly, due to blood panels 2 days ago, wants to reduce my Armour Thyroid hormone 15MG, from 120 to 105. We discussed being on keto and how that might give an off reading. I told her I don't think now is the time to do that???? I suggested leaving it as is and redoing labs in 9 weeks. I'll post the numbers when I get the paperwork. Anyone have experience with this?

Awww, you're missing out on all the fall food. Question, cheat day on Thanksgiving??

 

[Little Wing]

Def will have turkey but take it easy on the carbs and have a slice of my pumpkin cheesecake.

If i miss a day working out today I will hit it twice as hard tomorrow. Today's project is going back to blonde from black hair... NOT so easy. Strip color, shampoo... strip again, shampoo again. Bleach, shampoo and blow dry... bleach again, shampoo and blow dry. Then do toner with red yellow color corrector, wait 40 mins shampoo condition blow dry again. Be blonde again.

Why?

 

[Little Wing]

I thought it was the best way to get people to ask me stupid questions.

 

[Little Wing]

Ragnar wants to be a bodybuilder too. He's curling his stick.

He wanted to come out but wouldn't let go of the stick.

 

[Little Wing]

. Not sure why pic turns sideways when uploaded. A salon would not even have tried to go from black to blonde in 1 day. Took all friggin day n half the night.

Start posting on ASF, long live ASF!

 

[Little Wing]

Starting the day with crunches and upper body work.

I left IM a while back because of all the racist bullshit so yea.... sorry, but I'm not looking for an even more racist place to post. No wonder traffic has gone to shit.

 

[Little Wing]

Finally readjusted my bench and did incline bench presses. Def feel them hitting a different spot. I can use the same weight as flat but did 6,6,6, for reps.

It is livelier there... and I had fun being an asshole.

 

[Little Wing]

A little while later did 8,8,8 on incline. My body tends to adjust to demands pretty fast.

Did some upper body flat and incline bp
Lat press down. pull down, raises and face pulls
2 kinds of crunches
shrugs
some leg work
extensions
curls
single leg extensions added because my right leg does most of the work on two.
calf raises
weighted squats

 

[Little Wing]

I love working out. I don't like rest days and wonder if I really need them because I don't lift a ton of weight.... but so far the most fun is making my boobs dance. I'm spending way too much time trying this.

I think my toe has healed enough to do split squats if I do them on exercise mat. Trying them again tonight.
