RaginCajun's Daily Log

**RaginCajun** · 07-28-2015, 06:39 PM

40 minutes of cardio, legs hurt, felt tired but got through it

And forgot to post my weight, it is 186 lbs

**RaginCajun** · 07-29-2015, 04:51 AM

Just destroyed my back and arms, still shaking. Feel like I need to RALPH!

**RaginCajun** · 07-29-2015, 02:41 PM

Just was looking at my fitbit to get a gauge on about how many calories I am burning in one day. Now, obviously it varies day to day but it looks like my daily calorie burn is around 2,490 calories (average for 8 weeks). Most of my daily calorie consumption is around 1800-2400 but on the weekends I know I go over from drinking. I think I have gained some muscle along the way being that all my clothes fit the same and weight has pretty much stayed the same. Be interesting to see how this quasi-cyclic keto eating will go!

They all do calorie count and pretty sure the one that has a HR monitor in it is more accurate.

You can link Fitbit to myfitnesspal app, just figured that out

You also can compete with others who have them

**RaginCajun** · 07-30-2015, 05:15 AM

That's right my friends, pissing excellence is my game, RaginCajun is my name!

3.2 miles which included 24 flights of stairs/steps, took about an hour. Fitbit said I burned about 480 cals

**Arete** · 07-30-2015, 11:34 AM

thanks!

yeah i want the HR but someone gave me the one i have so no complaints!

if my body would let me train like my brain wants to, it would be even that much more awesome!

Ragin I sent you a pm with my email if you want to hook up on Fitbit. A question about it or trackers in general. If out TDEE =2500 lets say and fit bit starts the day out that way and we say 500 cal deficient so it says eat 2000 calories. Then through the course of being awake 16 hours and for me walking about 12-15k steps it says I need to eat 3000 calories and I'll still be 500-1000 deficient not including lifting. Would you still eat at 2000 calories or 3000. I find I'm not losing when I eat 2000 calories like I did before when i was eating 3000 calories ketogenic same amount of exercise. Just wondering your thoughts while using a tracker like Fitbit.

**RaginCajun** · 07-30-2015, 06:52 PM

45 more minutes of cardio beotches!

To be honest I am trying to figure that one myself at the moment!

My problem is I drink on the weekends so that screws everything up so if I have some drink free weekends then we shall see. I feel hungry all the time so maybe I'm not eating quite enough

**RaginCajun** · 07-31-2015, 06:56 PM

Did a full body workout at the gym and 30 minutes of walking

**RaginCajun** · 08-01-2015, 04:41 PM

45 minutes of walking

**RaginCajun** · 08-02-2015, 11:52 AM

Went on my mountain bike today, rode for 1 hour and 45 minutes. I'm whooped!

**Arete** · 08-02-2015, 01:13 PM

**RaginCajun** · 08-02-2015, 03:58 PM

Going shoot my bow by a friend's place and I'm bringing food!

On the menu: 2 filets wrapped in bacon, venison chorizo sliders, mid way venison smoked jalapeño n chedda sausage, and some venison round steak that has been marinating like fajitas!

**RaginCajun** · 08-03-2015, 05:11 AM

53 minutes of fasted cardio, walking/jogging

**RaginCajun** · 08-03-2015, 07:07 PM

Another 45 minutes of cardio!

BAM!

**RaginCajun** · 08-04-2015, 05:00 AM

Pissed Excellence!

Did my back exercises and a lil shoulder work. Felt something in my right shoulder on my last rep so I shut it down. Not hurting or anything, just a wee niggle!

**RaginCajun** · 08-04-2015, 06:32 PM

44 minutes of walking, feel drained even though I some carbs at lunch

**Arete** · 08-04-2015, 08:15 PM

It's the heat I'm sure very hot down south. Good job tracking.

definitely hot down here but that wasn't it, just think my body was spent

taking a rest day, or going to take it easy today as i can feel my body telling me too

**RaginCajun** · 08-05-2015, 06:35 PM

43 minutes of walking, legs are tight but not too bad

**bethdoth** · 08-06-2015, 06:06 AM

What are your stats now a days as compared to when you started?

**RaginCajun** · 08-06-2015, 08:42 AM

i think i am a little leaner but the weight has managed to stay the same

sitting at 185 lbs, feeling stronger and stronger each week!

diet is better but it seems like i need to eat a 1000 cal deficit to lose any kind of fat! i stay hungry, i can't see how people have trouble bulking/eating! it is really really tough for me to eat like a damn bird at 1700-1800 cals! i am putting more effort into workouts and i can feel it both in strength and in wear. my left knee if bothering me so no walking or jogging until that subsides some. depending on feel, i may go ride this evening or get into the pool for a dip

**RaginCajun** · 08-06-2015, 06:33 PM

40 minutes of cruising on the mountain bike

**bethdoth** · 08-07-2015, 08:27 AM

Humm I have a hard time consuming 2200 cal a day. I have to really try. I am never hungry.

**RaginCajun** · 08-07-2015, 09:12 AM

**RaginCajun** · 08-09-2015, 12:54 PM

Did a back workout yesterday

Today, did shoulders and upper back

**RaginCajun** · 08-10-2015, 08:36 AM

decided to fast today, and going fast from all the caffeine!

weight is up today from the carb loading weekend, weighed in at 189 today!

we shall see, going to work hard again this week in the gym and in the cardio department. i plan on getting in the pool at some point this week, shoulders and upper back are sore from yesterday's workout.

**ghettoboyd** · 08-10-2015, 04:06 PM

Yes, I let her touch some dirt but only a little, just teased her! I'm trying to get my confidence back on it, been too long! These are all new trails to me so trying to get a feel for them. When I say 'Cruise', not hardcore, easygoing. I need to remember how to jump logs and climb over big trees!

**RaginCajun** · 08-10-2015, 06:35 PM

40 minutes of walking

**RaginCajun** · 08-12-2015, 08:20 AM

decided to rest yesterday, i think my body needed it

went back to IF eating this week, down a few lbs.

still feel like i need to rest so prob going to take one more day off

**cue_artist** · 08-13-2015, 07:33 PM

What's your thoughts on IF Ragin? Do you get good results from it?

It works just like everything else does, just have to stick with it. Good results happen when I am really disciplined but haven't been strict enough as of late.
