Day 223: -

Diet:

Exercise: Did whatever, all muscle groups except legs. 1.5 hours.

Note: Going dancing tonight. My knee has been weird lately, so I will be wearing knee bracers on both legs... and shorts. Oh well.

 

[ironwolf]

cool..."pre workout" that comes in pills and helps you dance all night. and you take 2 of them..

Do you "double" dare me to accuse you of using drugs???

Again, not judging, but Iknow people who work for the UFC and the tend to not hire "party people"

Good job on the weight loss, coming up of 50 lbs is awesome.

Thank you, but lets just not have this discussion.

Day 224: -

Calories: 3254. Too many raisin buns today.

Exercise: Spent 9 hours at the club, 6 out of those were solid dancing. Walked around Toronto for 2 hours at day.
3000 deficit.

Note: My shuffling improved to the point that I feel comfortable with dancing by myself in any club. People keep telling me that I move incredibly fast for a big guy, or something along those lines haha, nice.
Note: Still, today I felt first sign that I am partying out. Dancing is awesome, and good way to lose weight, but I need to graduate to next level.
Note: Have to say, its a great way to make friends. It feels like I know 1/2 of Toronto now.

 

[Sarumyan]

Update to day 224: Two groups of mutual friends crashed my place. We ordered 2 X-large pizzas, and it turned out I was the only one actually hungry... The rest is history - + 2250 calories.
2 guys were dressed as "rave sluts"... man, so many funny stories they had, good times.
No regrets.
But yeah... Day 224: Diet ~5500 calories, which negates most of the deficit from my shuffling. Speaking of which, my body hurts quite a lot now.

Good job on the weight loss.

If I could add 1 small criticism, you seems to stay up late partying a lot. Sleep and keeping a consistant time table is pretty important for weight loss.

 

[Sarumyan]

^ I know, man. Honestly, I will be taking bigger breaks from Partying right now. I kept pushing myself to party , because, it is a ridiculously good workout, and it helped me break through a plateau.

Day 225: -

Diet:

Exercise: Basically, none . Taking a break.

Note: This weekend has been somewhat of a break from the diet. If you think about it, I needed it, good part is that I went really hard with dancing, and kept pushing myself even when I was very tired. So it should balance itself out.

Note: Diet is getting a bit bad nutrition-wise. Need more veggies.

Note: No side-effects from partying so far whatsoever. Even lower back doesn't hurt anymore. However, I didn't enjoy dancing and shuffling last time. Not that it is not fun, but I am always fully aware that I am doing it for weight loss, otherwise it is kind of pointless.

^^ Will upload soon.

Update to day 225: Friends crashed my place... we went out and bought 2 pizzas... the rest is history. I feel like this happened before hm....

+~3000 calories.

Some regrets, but ultimately - no big deal.

 

[FierceRedBelt]

Slippery slope with those pizzas.

Are you just taking a break from MMA?

When you are hungry late at night and in need of a cheap meal that is bad, but not THAT bad
3 words:

LATE NIGHT PHO

 

[Sarumyan]

Ban - I can cook Pho like no other Russian, however, it is pretty much the same thing as pizza if you think about it. Bro, you have been on a comment spree these last few days lol.

Fierce - Yep, I took 2 weeks off. I had to pay 5 months rent upfront, plus big ass TV and furniture - it really shredded my budget for several months - so it was either partying and working out in downstairs gym, or MMA/wrestling.

Day 226: - I don't want to see the scale for a while... But obviously I have a lot of bloat going on. plus 2-3 pounds of fat I gained over the weekend.

Diet:

Potato chips for lunch with lots of tea/coffee. Pho with LOTS of veggies for Dinner.

Exercise: Walking, 2 hours.
Treadmill : 5k in 25.24, Plus 2 miles walk on 4.0 mph. Knees hurt a bit, however, cardio has improved considerably. I "zoned out" to music when I started running, woke up at 2.5 mile mark. Pretty sure, I can run 4 miles without stopping now at 7.4 mph. Will try in couple of days. Need to get back to my old mark of 6 miles in 50 minutes. Even push ups went up to 40 from 30.

Note: Money have finally arrived! Time to go back to the diet. I don't know why, but when I am broke, I tend to overeat on junk food.

Note: Going to be a big house party with my old circle of friends on 22nd. I want to impress them.

New Goal - Solid 240 lbs on 22nd of November.


Math work: 26 days, 3 refeeds - 23 days for the deficit.
Estimated loss of 13
Caloric deficit needed: ~2000 per day.
Plan, to eat at 1700 calories per day. That gives 700 deficit from the diet + 1300 created by exercise. For the unaware, I don't mind losing muscle mass ( still no loss to report) , however, I need to watch out for my micros.

You haven't tried the banchan pho method. Highly scientific. You fish 1/2 of the noodles out and ask them for extra sprouts. If you're looking to make it extra clean, ask for no noodles and lots of sprouts. Carb free. Unless you're on paleo, those people hate sprouts because it's a legume. Of course pho uses rice noodles so I still feel it has a marginal edge over pizza-flour but that is pure brostressscience of which I have no conclusive proof.

Day 227 -

Diet:

Exercise: Walking, 2.5 hours ( ~750 calories ). Jogging/Weights - 1 hour, light (~500 calories).

Deficit ~1500.

Note: Ban, I generally want to stay away from soups, it balloons my weight due to volume, salt and carbs - and it is hard to estimate calories.....Also need to stay away from rice cakes, ate 2 freaking bags of it.

Note2: Legs still feel weird. However, lower back pain went away.

Note3: I feel like I need to "health up" a bit after 2 months of partying. I bought liquid fish oil, Vitamin D3, I am going to drink patented Sarumyan's smoothie every day ( a bunch of spinach mixed with frozen fruits/bananas ). Will try to stay away from "empty" calories.

I think I finished watching most of Jason's videos by now. As much as he was annoying and whiny, I have come to respect his channel.

Day 228: -

My sleep cycle broken off completely. Couldn't sleep till 5 a.m. , so decided to skip one night to fall asleep early today.

Diet is pretty bad : basically a sane cheat day.

No exercise, can barely stand on my feet.

Spent last 13 hours watching Walking Dead..... it's actually not that bad.

Ah that pesky late night insomnia!

Post your cheats. They may be bad calories but they're still calories.

 

[Sarumyan]

^^ No mate. I need a mental break from diets as well sometimes. Counting everything can get annoying as much as suffering through hunger.

Day 229: Back on the horse. Will weight myself on 1st of November. Will go back to MMA on Monday as well.

Diet:

Exercise: Medium Weights - 30 minutes. Walking - 60 minutes.

Deficit: ~1200

Note: Cheat days almost always screw me up for a week or so. This wasn't too bad, however, I did gain several pounds of fat... and about 10 pounds of water. Bloated as hell right now.

Annoying bumb on my journey, however, it was not as bad as it could have been.

BACK TO WORK

 

[golvmopp]

U riek de bok choi? Like a somebodeeee

P.S: Penguins are fucking awesome.

 

[Sarumyan]

^ Whaa?

I just threw a lot of Chinese veggies into my soup with a bit of noodles and ham. So just called it Bok Choi to save time.
