**************Bikeral Training and Diet Log************************

[bikeral]

what were ur startn stats?

Started out 2.5 years ago at 282lbs 6'1" BF unknown
Started this thread at 228lbs BF around 25%
Current 209lbs BF around 18% Age 47 (My best was 203lbs 16.9%BF in May)

I'd like to be able to maintain 14% so I guess I need to lose 10-15lbs more. However I do not want to just get there struggling and bounce back up shortly after so I prefer to go slow or step the last few pounds.
Also I stopped using any help like ECA or clen months ago since I am trying to do this as healthy as possible. I also cut out most supplements and try to eat real food as much as possible.
The only help I use is 300mg caffeine prior to fasted cardio.

73lbs is great dude! yeh i feel the same as u as far as clen and eca and real food and no supplements(except bcaas when applicable). eca is good for appetite suppression if necessary and only short term. how do u find the caffeine affects ur cardio? better?

Well I started the caffeine cause I think either you or Stem recommended for fat burn. I find it works pretty good and since it's the same as a couple cups of coffee should be OK. No more than 300mg though. I took 400mg once and was a bit jittery.

I was told loosing is the easy part. Keeping it off, the hard part.
73 pounds..You are a different person now!

nothing but respect!!

[bikeral]

Thanks GGR. 100% agree that keeping off is the hard part. Slow and steady works for me.

yeh sounds like stem. ive never taken caffeine in the am before cardio. maybe i will one day who knows. i do find i get a lot more from a 200mg caffeine pill (which claims to be the equivalent of one 8oz cup of coffee) than i do from my 34oz Bubba Keg i drink every morning!

Plus you don't need to add cream to a caffeine pill to make it taste good.

Hey brother how are you doing?

[RaginCajun]

Hey brother how are you doing?

hanging in there! i am not one to mope but i have been a real lazy ass of late, at least in my terms. only think i have had 4 workouts in the past two weeks! unacceptable in my eyes! i am still trying to get myself disciplined to wake up early again and hit the gym.

Hope you get back on track. I find it a lot easier to get up in the morning when I am hungry. I've been eating very light after 4:30PM lately. Sometimes it's just hard to get up though. Probably mental. You will get through it though, get your diet in check and focus.

Hey GGR, I am trying to make some progress here. Last week was near perfect for me. Hope all is well for you.

Johnny, whats up bro. Looking good in your AVI. I'm still at it but need to focus a bit more. Last 6 weeks I've been cheating too much on the weekends so basically I've been just maintaining. Need to work on that.

Pretty bad, last weekend went out with friends to steak restaurant. Corn bread with butter, then caviar pie with bread, grilled octopus, duck confit, a large filet mignon with red peppercorn sauce and mashed potatoes. Followed by chocolate souffle.
Other weekends were similar with plenty of ice cream etc. If I did not workout and keep diet in check during week I would have gained every week.

[--->>405<<---]

caviar pie??

is it worth it to u to do all that work during the week just to be able to pig out on the weekends?

Sometimes YES , however now I feel I'd like to do a few weeks without weekend cheats and actually see some progress. This past weekend I was finally able to keep it together and kept my calories and macros in check even with the big protein pancake meal.

Sorry I missed the caviar pie question. This restaurant I go to has this as appetizer. Egg salad topped with layer of cream cheese topped with caviar. Pretty damn good.
I think this is the recipe. http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,181,...228192,00.html

You fat bastard, is it worth it to u to do all that work during the week just to be able to pig out on the weekends?

I know pal, but either way I take the hint. I am working my ass off and just spinning wheels. Time to keep my diet in check 7 days a week so I can actually see progress.

30 mins Elliptical post workout

[--->>405<<---]

^^ sounds like a great idea al!

u know once u get there itll be a lot easier to stay there than it was to get there.. (i think i made myself dizzy)

also when i did my last "maintenance" it took me only 3 weeks to cut off what took me 8weeks to put on! (to give u an idea)
