RaginCajun's Daily Log

[RaginCajun]

^^ I know you asked Tbody but I would stay away from it until a REAL plateau....my .02

your right and i think i may leave the T3 out for now and not mess with my thryoid. i want to try the clen to see how it directly affects my asthma while training (re: heart rate/ tachycardia). i posted on a thread in the VIP section so hopefully swifto or someone with some knowledge of asthmatics on clen. thanks for your 2 cents, its worth more than that!!!

RC, I keep dipping in and out of this thread, partly because I used to get frustrated that you wanted to lose fat but kept going on weekend benders and cheating on your diet. I am impressed that you continue to maintain your log and are honest about your 'cheats'.

I could look over the thread to find the answer to this question but I'm a lazy and busy boy. You've lost 10-11lbs in the last 12 mths but how has your bf changed? Any before and current pics?

yes, stem, i am a wild one! i would say over the course of the year, i lost around 6% BF. always honest about my cheats because if i lie on here, ultimately i am still lying to myslef! have some pics somewhere on here, but none of them recent. i have always been a husky boy so it is very hard to get rid of the jelly. it is slow and steady over here and i do understand that with more discipline, my results would come quicker but i am human and am a very social person, very! with me, it comes down to diet, not exercise. i am doing the intermittent fasting diet and am liking it so far, just started at the end of last year and beginning of this year so trying to get my body to adapt to the new feeding times. i must admit that it is easier than i thought but the hunger pains are bad.

how are you finding IF?
Are you sticking to eat?

[RaginCajun]

how are you finding IF?
Are you sticking to eat?

i am finding it easier and easier. i am basically only eating 2 big meals a day, that's it! i get up and drink some BCAAs then off to work. i have to have some coffee thought to curb the hunger pains in the AM but its not as bad as it once was. i come home from work and take drink some BCAAs and then workout. i like to train in the evenings because i feel fueled during my workouts. i need to get more numbers/macros oriented in my eating but i have been eating better as of late. i love to eat so it hurts that i can't eat all day like i was doing.

well, so much for resting...................bought some new running shoes...............went for a lil 35 minute stroll!

Mate, from age 25-30 I barely saw the inside of a gym and partied every long weekend! At least you are doing far more exercise than I did at that time in my life. But, I'm glad I went through it, it taught me things. Now (at 40) I can barely stand to drink more than a couple of alcoholic drinks and probably only drink once every 3 months or so. That said, I have a stag weekend in mainland Europe this weekend so we'll see where that ends up.

Keep on it mate, you still neede a life outside the exercise.

thanks stem! i am not as wild as i once was, but before, i did not know how important diet really was. its a culture thing!

I'm okay, actually probably support/endorse the clen. you want to start off with small beginning dosages, like a quarter of a tab or drop for the first 2-3 days, then bump it up gradually every 2-3 days until you find the amount that works for you. You need slimmer to settle you down on the social side of things, make an honest man of you! Post those pics and let us set some new goals and design some programs to accomplish all that.

still have the same goal, reduce the amount of bodyfat i have, timeframe, honestly doesn't matter but ultimately tomorrow! i am definitely ready to 'settle' down! my shoulders are still aching so no chest exercises yet, sucks! i will start incorporating some incline pushups to start my body getting use to the motion again. my left shoulder is the one that is really jacked and i am thinking surgery is the only fix. i can workout with it but can't do certain motions. i really do not want to post any pics until one can really see some dramatic results.

and how do we know it might not be the other way around?

i hate being bored and being stuck inside so yes, better than the sofa! definitely a culture thing and that is how i was raised. damn woman, are our brains attached?

[SlimmerMe]

^^^ Glad I read this before I signed off.....Made me chuckle which is how I like to feel....

[tbody66]

Man the "adult themed" tension is palpable with the two of you in the same thread at the same time. If you kids don't do something to meet in real life I think you will both live with regret!

[RaginCajun]

had a great workout yesterday evening. i kind of switched it up a bit but it was still a full body workout. i took it easy on my legs as my left knee is bothering me some so i did squat thrusts into a press with dumbbells instead of doing normal squats. i also did some incline bench on the smith machine! i haven't even touched my chest since october so i am sore as all get out today, love it! today, my knee is still bothersome so i may lay off of it this evening but who knows how it will feel at the end of the day.

basically took yesterday off from the gym but i did go hit some golf balls at the range. i didn't do too bad considering how horrid i played last summer. this may be my new 'off'/rest day thing. i definitely need to sharpen my skills in that area, lots of business happens on a golf course! weighed in today at 180 lbs, and can't figure out how i am not lower? i know that i had less calories in this week over last week, could it be muscle added? i feel as if i am getting leaner and feel stronger than the past weeks. i am going hit the iron when i get off of work and plan on going ride some trails tomorrow morning, weather permitting of course!

it is a real hard sport to master and that's why i love it! every shot is a challenge in its own and no shot is ever the same!

had a shitty 3 mile run yesterday, took me 42 minutes to do. i dont know what the issue was but it sucked, could be the weather and my asthma. wanted to go ride this morning but when i went to go, it started raining. so that lead me to go hit some iron in which i had another sluggish feeling workout. i pushed thru it but it wasn't a great effort on my part. weight today is 177lbs so i am down a few but i am still thinking this is water.

[GirlyGymRat]

rc...you ran so what is the problem Not every workout out is going to be tops....although that is a going in expectation.... it will be different next week!

[SlimmerMe]

Winter.....that's all I can say. Slow season.

[RaginCajun]

OH MY! as I put my hand up to my mouth! Glad I swallowed my coffee first.....

[RaginCajun]

ran 2 miles this evening in 25 minutes. i warmed up for 5 minutes and then did sprints every 5 minutes after. felt like an animal while sprinting!
