[Back In Black]

I'm gonna home school my daughter too. She won't be allowed out the house on her own until she is 30.

Do you have any irritability or concentration issues? A lot of people report it though I coped pretty well all around on keto.

no i dont think so no. like i said before starting this, i do very well with low carbs so being in keto i suppose makes it even easier. my biggest obstacle at this point is gonna be bringing cals down to 2000-2200. this week ive been eating 3000cals every day.

i think i even in spite of this have leaned out ever so slightly. i dont want to waste this diet though eating at maintenance (or slightly above) ive just had a tuff time motivating myself to tolerate hunger!

on a positive note i ordered my motorcycle gear which should be in next week and 2 weeks from monday (or so) i should be able to acquire my first harley davidson!

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

well first week of keto was not too bad. this week is the time to really implement the macros and make sure i stay on track with them. last week i went well over on intended cals and macros, but it was a bit of an adjustment to see how i did with high fat and no carbs.

this week will be different. will report back.

feeling a little fat and jiggly today. may be holding some water from the refeed. might go a bit lower on carbs next time. while i enjoy eating carbs,i really dont like the way they make me feel (fat and holding water). i feel a lot better depleted (leaner).

will be interested to see how this 10 days straight of no carbs does.

got a pulled muscle in my back. its down on the hip, right where u would give urself a glute shot. hurts when i do squats, mainly when i lock out at the top of the rep. when im squatted down im fine. it also is a nagging pain the rest of the day as well. i may discontinue squats for a couple weeks to let it heal, as that is the exercise that seems to perpetuate the injury. it isnt debilitating or anything.

Here is a pic of the fatboy from this morning.

^^sweet bro! looks like u have the Vance and Hines Big Radius exhaust? (we may have discussed this already, i have a terrible memory)

Injuries and being jiggly aren't good. Thankfully I am only suffering from a little bit of jiggliness at the moment (too many holiday buffet meals).

Watch the back kidda, it's important

i suppose i should note here i put a deposit on the motorcycle yesterday, so it is no longer available to anyone else! i also finalized the numbers as well. i managed to save $1200 so i thought i did ok. didnt try to be super aggressive.

should pick it up december 2 or 3rd.. hopefully

well back on track day 2 of keto after thanksgiving. ate a good bit for a few days this year and havent been to the gym since wednesday of last week so i have to get it back into gear, which i intend to do today!

[bikeral]

Hey pal just checking in. Whats good?

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

Hey pal just checking in. Whats good?

whats up there buddy? had a good ride today was 66 and sunny. other than that just plugging along. dont even know if id say im cutting right now. really just running no carbs to see what happens but my cals are only like 300 deficit or something.

this dang back pull thing is kicked in again after doing squats today. looks like the squat is going on the back burner for at least a month! it doesnt feel serious, just a nagging problem.

Good idea to back off I know you squat pretty heavy. Stay safe.

Hey buddy, you are the master cutter. What BF% loss do you think is a good number to lose every week. I seem to be in the -.5% on a good week. Does that sound right?

Also I remember some dude a while back giving you all kinds of Ab advice. Think he was banned. Did that work out for you or was he full of shit?

.5% is ideal.. excellent work

ab advice was very solid actually! now i do hanging leg raises and variations in the hanging position, cable wood chops (incline, decline, neutral), crunches with medicine ball, seated decline twists with medicine ball..

occasionally i practice the ab vacuum (google it and the wood chops (cable) )..

What a shitty fvcking workout! Worst one ive had in awhile. A very long while. Making me think fvck this keto shit. I could barely pull 225 x 10 on deads. Not to mention i have pulled muscle in my back, my quad is doing something funny, my neck has inflammation, and my fvcking medial epicondylitis.. Oh and my shoulder.. All on the right side..

Im thinking none of this shit is healing cuz i aint eating no carbs.. Plus i feel fat so what the fvck!!!?!? SMH..

Back to the fvcking drawing board i think.

Im fvking pissed!!

Hmmmm. You seem a little frustrated. Just a tad. Thanks for your honesty. I don't know how ppl do it.

I know you will figure it out. Interested in what you come up with!

well first back day since adding carbs back in and im back to 405lbs on deads im happy to say! this is also the first time ive gone that heavy since the back pull a couple months ago. also feeling better. my aches and pains seem to be on the mend.

NOTE TO SELF: always keep carbs in your diet in some way, shape or form.

tomorrow is an OFF day went to tanning bed a couple days ago and a bit burned. getting ready for my february cruise! looking good in the mirror today too.

[joebailey1271]

I think its calories in versus calories out no matter what diet you are on. Keto will not make u lose weight any faster, but its a lot easier to control your appetite, I think.

[tarmyg]

Keep it up 405, you can do it, it's just one of those days where you should have stayed in bed.

Thanks

[mockery]

If i were you i would be looking at finding out if the lifts were effected by loss of LBM or if it was just CNS fatigue or you were not in the zone.

have 9 weeks until my cruise. have shifted gears back into IF style diet. 18/6 fast/feed windows.

2000cals every day. train EOD.. cardio ED switching from HIIT amd MISS.

45mins MISS all non-training days. PWO HIIT training days. (at least 2 days per week). shooting for 4-5hrs cardio per week to start.

training days:
1968cals
258g pro
146g carbs
38g fat

meal1: (PWO approx 1500hrs)
1lb chikn, 2 pieces ezekiel bread, cup oats

meal2:
pound fish, 11oz spinach

meal3: 250g blueberries, 250g cottage cheese, 32g almond butter

non-training days:
2008cals
263g pro
58g carbs
89g fat

meal1: approx (1500hrs)
pound chikn (mexican seasoned), salsa, 11oz spinach or broccoli (300g)

meal2: pound fish, 11oz spinach or broccoli (300g)

meal3: 2 eggs, cup egg whites, 300g avocado, 32g almond butter

all training and cardio will be done fasted. during fast all i will ingest is water. fast from 2100-1500 ED..

lets do it. starting weight 210lbs bf approx 15% ish

P.S. id like to note here my progress has been very slow because i think i have just been unwilling to admit to myself i needed to drop calories down to 2000 per day average. i have made the adjustment, lets see what happens.



^^enjoy the socks and shorts

[RaginCajun]

So, you are eating more on non-training days, interesting

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

well its pretty much 2000cals.. there are small fluctuations.. im doing cardio on those days too and no real carbs to speak of, but elevated fats. im thinking cals in vs cals out is the primary factor in fat loss. the rest may just complicate it.

this is my way of kind of testing it. im focusing more on total cals (2000 each day) and just trying to kinda manage macros.

Great to hear you are riding that thing. Snowing in NYC

[mockery]

5 hour re feed every 4 days lyle style seems to best suit you, get your cereal, get your bagels and a bag of 5 cent candies from 7-11

u are a carb lovin badd ass, you need to find a diet that lets you still enjoy ur guilty pleasures to make it a life style change and no more "diets"
