RaginCajun's Daily Log

[RaginCajun]

i had a fantastic weekend! did a whole lot of walking around, prob did 10+ miles over the two days. i was unsuccessful at taking out a hog, didn't see any. i did however, get as close as 30 feet away from 3 deer without them moving. it was a thrill to get that close and watch them for a while. can't wait to get back in the weight room this evening. i weighed in at 179.9 lbs this morning, so i still need to lose 9.9 lbs in a month to meet that goal set back when. oh yeah, i am needing to get more serious in my calorie counting so i am going to use the Lose IT app on the iphone. it is the best one out there in my opinion. hope this helps me stay strict!

[RaginCajun]

had a good workout yesterday evening, went up with the weight again on squats. here is my macros from yesterday: (49%) pro - 219.3g (17%)carb - 74.3g (34%) fat - 68.1g. how does that look? weighed in at 178.8 lbs this morning.

if you have an iphone, the Lose IT app is the TITS! you can scan the barcode on items and save it in there. it breaks everything down for you at the end of everyday and also has programs in which to guide you to your goal. and thanks!

I'll try it out and see, i used to like livestrong but when it updated it, they destroyed the app. Now is worthless, anyways glad to see the weight keeps going away!!

took a rest day yesterday. was really busy with work and will be for the next few months. i will be on the road a lot so may not see me as active as i was previously. diet has been good this week with the help of the app, my macros yesterday were: protein 100 g (too low for me also) carbs, 144g, fats 46g. the protein will be higher today and i will have to squeeze in a workout between getting off of work and going to meet up with a cpa. i also need to get off my rear and get back to two a days! weight today is 178.0lb.

[RaginCajun]

A horse is a horse.......it will do.

[RaginCajun]

well, i over did it on the food! ate all kinds of junk and paid for it about midnight last night. my stomach started churning and was a disaster. lessoned learned! weight is back up 179 lbs after yesterday and with all the stress i am dealing with. i have another big hurdle to climb over here and it will not be a fun to climb!

[RaginCajun]

White Stallion

[RaginCajun]

i had an awesome workout today! i finished squats with 275x4 for my last 4 sets! it was the most weight i have done since my powerlifting days in college. i also did a pyramid with incline bench and went up to 185 on my last set. it is sad that i use to warm up with that weight but i am trying to work my shoulder back into shape, i think it is still F'ed! i still love the IF type of diet and i have been getting stronger every week. my little problem is really getting to me and messing up my schedule and everything else but i guess that is life!!!!!!!

[RaginCajun]

i LOVE to eat so yes, always been a fan of eating!

Looks like u making fine progress on the scales!!!

well hello there stranger! i am doing the best i can for my circumstances right now. i have bigger fish to fry over here right now so i have slacked this week some in my training. yes, the scales are starting to show a lower number but i am more concerned with the mirror!

[RaginCajun]

weighed in at 177.0 lbs today. i need to get off my ass and start doing cardio in the AM again. i am dealing with a lot right now but that is no excuse for me to a slacker. once i get out of this pickle, WATCH OUT!

[RaginCajun]

well, slipped on a bottle last night dancing and split my forearm! i now have a big gash on my forearm, right above the elbow! we went out for my roommate's bday and of course, something happens to me!

[BrownGirl]

Oh no!!!! Hope it heals soon....

[GirlyGymRat]

if you gonna have a gash, have a good story too! LOL!!! RC, you need to party with full protection!

[RaginCajun]

Weighed in today at 175.4 lbs. ran 2 miles yesterday in 23min

[SlimmerMe]

^^^ YIPPY YIPPY!!! looking good......real good....

[RaginCajun]

Well, when it rains it poors!!! I can't catch a break in 2012! I feel as if someone has a voodoo doll on me and is poking pins in it!!!

[GirlyGymRat]

trouble travels in three....so hang in there!

[RaginCajun]

well, looks like i have finally got out of this funk i have been in for the past 3 weeks, and it looks as if that is behind me now. my weight is about the same, 175.8 lbs, but i have not been training at all, thinking some of it is muscle lost. i will be getting after it today when i get off work and will except a slight increase in bodyweight, but hoping not. i am a little sad today, this is the first time in 30 years (damn i'm old) that i have ever missed mardi gras!!!

[RaginCajun]

trouble travels in three....so hang in there!

tell me about it. it actually happened in about 7-8's over here so something good is bound to happen! i did buy a lottery ticket yesterday!

[RaginCajun]

had a great workout mardi gras day(FIRST TIME EVER) and ran 3 miles yesterday in 30 minutes. weight is holding at 175 and i can tell i am looking leaner. i know that we set the deadline of march 2nd, but i don't think i can lose the 5lbs in a weeks time the right way. i know how to get it down if i want to see it on the scale but i know it would be just water. this IF diet is really helping me shed the fat! this is still an uphill battle, but i have my hiking boots and helmet on! on another note, i just recently had vehicle troubles and purchased a car. this is the first time in 15 years that i will not be driving a truck! now that i am a city slicker, i went to the car this time of round. its going to take some time getting use to!

[SlimmerMe]

I bet running sure helped to busy yourself not to think about what you were missing.WIN/WIN!

And now a city slicker......
