280 to 240

[Sarumyan]

Whats up people.

Let myself go recently. Want to be held accountable and get back on track.

Diet: Vegetables, meat, protein shake, eggs
Calories: ~2000 per day, ~2500 on training days.

Training: Walking on incline treadmill everyday for 30 min (440 calories).
MMA classes - 1.5 hours, ~500-1000 calories (schedule coming in a month)
Rehab/Weights - 300-400 calories per hour - 3 times per week.
Yoga - 200-300 calories per hour (schedule coming)

Note: Things changed since last threads. Very busy with running e-commerce business, helping family's business and working as a consultant for 2 friends. Threw out most of my bad habits, except poor eating discipline. Looking to finally master it.

Stats: 6.4, 27 year old, 283 lbs.
Injury: Running caught up with me 7 months ago. Had some serious problems with left knee. However, rehab and yoga fixed most of the issue over half a year (shoulders too and posture too). Everything else is working perfectly, but can't run.

Going to take a medium term approach to this. Looking to get healthy and lean in 6 months time. Lets get to it.

PIC UPDATE AT 283

Supplements: Fish oil, magnesium, potassium, multivitamin.

Low Carb note: I had very good experience over the last 2 years with low carb, even getting me to 236 lbs (with some semblance of abs). So I will stick with it this time as well.

Long time no see ).

Day 2: 281.1 lbs

Training: None, but quite a bit of working. Meeting people.

Note: Launch is next monday, so I don't think I can train much this week. But the diet has to be followed through anyways.

 

[FierceRedBelt]

Well welcome back. Your milk diet thread was pretty great and the ones that proceeded it as well. Hopefully this one lives up.

 

[Sarumyan]

Well...I will try to provide entertainment value comparable to other threads, but my lifestyle is very different now ).

Day 3: scale was too random.

Note: Worked all day. Going to fire one "consultant" tomorrow. Will try to get money back as contract was not even close to being done. Can't trust anyone these days.

Day 4: --

Note: Day went excellent, until I got a call from business partner saying that the competition just raised the stakes and invested in new tech. and huge inventory. Now its 6 am, all night was spent eating and making decisions. All is settled though.

 

[Sarumyan]

Day 5 - Day 7: 280.1 lbs

Note: Shit went down with main supplier, so me and my partner had to hustle. 3 days of non-stop work for damage control. Now is Thursday, things worked out to our advantage (looks like it).

Note: Didn't count calories and ate normal food, but was within reasonable amount. Back on the diet tomorrow.

I gained a ton of muscle and was able to max out over 300 bench but I lifted too hard and fast and now after a year off I am fat and my legs need so much damn stretching. I am in a similar spot and I am currently reading a book called the end of overeating, cuz I just love food. I hope you get the abs.
I have a bit of a bigorexia too where I like to think of myself as big and I almost prefer slightly fat to skinny without muscles.
I just think will power is less important than habits cuz I've lost thirty pounds or more on multiple occasions. I can't keep it off very well.

 

[Chad R. Thundercock]

Welcome back, dude.

 

[Sarumyan]

Apologies for the drop out. Let me start again with lesser requirements. I do agree, that the

Day 1: 285.9 (!) lbs

Training: 1 hour of weights/15 minutes cardio in the morning. 45 minutes of treadmill at night.

Note: I have got way too accustomed to eating good food for way too long. Being healthy is the biggest motivation.

You are absolutely right. It is a long term game and I definitely need to change my lifestyle before anything bad happens health-wise.

Day 2: 284.4 lbs

Training: 2 hour full body weights. Went hard, had pre-workout.

Note: Spent whole night talking to my girlfriend's boss in a bar. Ate some calamari and 2 beers, nothing crazy.

 

[Sarumyan]

Day 3: 283.4
Diet: 3211 calories.
Training: 2 hours hard MMA session. Good to be back. Knees are almost 100%. Can do squats with no issues. Love it.

Note: Business is pretty stressful right now. Still a lot of time is spent on arguing with my co-founder. We both don't know who is right or wrong. And decision making is difficult.

I hope you're feeling well. I am leaning up again myself. I'm quitting weed and booze but that's a whole other story cuz I got in trouble earlier this week. I realized I need a ton of stretching and there's no way around it for me. Especially when training high kicks. Do you have problems with cortisol and insane cravings on the back end after a stim fueled workout? I'm currently trying to quit bronkaid but I did a super nos blast earlier tonight. One thing I've found I like is arginine pills. Get ur blood flow without huge load of caffeine or synephrine. I think ordering bulk agmatine sulfate would be my next step. Its the skin tearing pump inducer.
