[tbody66]

Yeah, I hope all of the teams that won this weekend knock off the favorites next weekend!

[SlimmerMe]

Fasted cardio has become very popular around here.....

Fasted cardio has become very popular around here.....

i wonder why that is................................................ .because of YOU!

[SlimmerMe]

^^ well I will say THANK YOU but learned from all the gurus here. I will say this. During my challenge I was fasted almost every single day and then when over, not at all. And now back into it and man-o-man. What a difference it makes.

Thats the main thing, staying true to the course!!

[RaginCajun]

Thats the main thing, staying true to the course!!

yup, just have to watch out for falling trees and pot holes!

And San Francisco 49ers!

Going to have to go a different direction on that one. Go 'bama'.

[RaginCajun]

hate to say it but you were right, bama whoooped us. i used to cut saban's grass, no joke, his father-in law used to cook me biscuits. LSU got out coached and out played by every position. it sucks but LSU's coaching staff didnt have any BALLS/faith in their QB and Bama did. SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tbody66]

LSU's QB was a little cry-baby, blaming everyone else. And truly Bama's D stepped up bigtime. I was crazy stoked over #41 Courtney Upshaw. I think Oklahoma State has a legit complaint for being number 1 in the country. Truly mostly some boring football, 7 field goal attempts, one blocked, one just missed, no offense by LSU.

[RaginCajun]

i am pretty sore today from yesterday's workout. i added in some incline dbs, did light weight, first time doing any type of chest exercise in a while, and i also bumped up the weight on squats. i do not know if i will go any higher in weight in squats because of back and knee. i do miss eating 6-8 times a day but this IF diet is not too bad. the mornings still suck, have hunger pains but they are not as bad as when i started. the BCAA's and black coffee help curb the beast (my stomach) and eating a big meal at lunch is nice! i do notice that i do not get tired after i eat lunch, use to get tired around the 230pm area, but now, i feel energized.

[RaginCajun]

yall women are making me blush!

[RaginCajun]

did 20 minutes of cardio on elliptical (hills) and had to cut it at that because my left calf was hurting. i think it is on the inside, soleus muscle i think? i did abs after that then grubbed down! i am going get up to do fasted cardio, just hoping that my calf is better.

[tbody66]

monitor closely!

[RaginCajun]

woke up and it was still felling funny so i slept in. hopefully it will loosen up during the day. weight is 181.4 lbs today.

[tbody66]

I think my weight is climbing and I'm way under on my daily calories. I hope things get better soon.

same here, in regards to the weight climbing. i know some of it is water and i am predicting my weight to be 178 on friday morning

[SlimmerMe]

We are hoping for a good prediction because right now sounds like we are all full of water?

i read that last night! notice that i gave KP some advice and told him to start sprinting. i usually add in some sprints on my long runs but after reading that, i will do a lot more of them and a lot more of running the parking garage stairs. i just have to gauge on what my left knee lets me do!

Hey Ragin, I have a question... Just curious to know how much your bf% has gone down since you have started. Just read bits of your thread and it seems like you have been pretty dedicated for several months now.

Hahaha I think I just did lol!!! And you are welcome, that's some pretty awesome progress!!!! My goal exactly, to get my bf% down...wayyy down!!! Another question, how did you measure your bf%??? I used one of those machines and it doesn't seem accurate...IDK.

[tbody66]

alot of the machines aren't accurate, but if you use the same one and use it at the same time of day/month than the difference should be accurate. Mostly posting pictures here is the most accurate way to get an assessment.

did it with machines but i put pics so everyone could comment. thanks again for the compliment!

so i jumped on the stair climber today, my legs hate me! i did 25 min of alternating slow/fast steps, and did 100 floors. my heart rate jumped up quickly and stayed at around 167 bpm the entire time. the burn in my legs reminded me of the triathlon i did last summer! diet was like baseline would say, sharp!
