Day 116: Weird day today.

I feel tired and depressed as hell. I will buy some lean ground turkey and eat it with sweet potatoes. But it is a conscious choice, not a binge - will watch calories.

Training: light boxing.

Stay strong, no junk food man. Might be worth a few higher calorie days of decent healthy food.

You are god damn right, sir.

I think I have been eating pretty healthy. Lots of lamb and meat lately - I am starting to feel horny a lot. Confidence is sky-high - I would assume my hormones are getting it back together. I think I needed to take time off, but enough is enough, back to proper diet tomorrow.
I don't think I want to go back to severe caloric deficit - even though it was useful, now I am at around 20-22% BF and need to take it slower. Besides, having full T-levels is ... awesome.
Generally, people commented on how good I look and etc. So I am no longer in the fat-strong club, more in "big strong guy" club now. The problem is - I want to be in lean, mean and sexy territory - which I will work on now.

I will shoot for 2100 calories from now on. Emphasis on cheap Australian lamb that nearby supermarket is selling - god that meat tastes fantastic - better yet - grass-fed and organic. I checked its nutritional content - its amazing how much nutrients and vitamins it packs compared to veggies or grains.

Oh, and by the way : Enter Intermittent Fasting. I have been doing it for the last 4 days and it's working out good so far. I would eat only after 5 - which is 18/6 window for now.

Note: Been working with the muscular imbalance specialist - my legs are a mess. Hip abductors are tight as hell and full of knots. Calves - too tight, Hamstrings and G Lutes are much much weaker than quads. Hip flexors need lots of work. Despite my efforts - back shoulder musles are still not strong enough..... lots of work ahead.

today:Training: None.

 

[Sarumyan]

Day 117: Around 2700 calories - very healthy. IF regime is still going.
Training: Corrective exercises, 1 hour walking.
Should be around 1200 caloric deficit, which is very small for me.

Feels a bit weird but I will keep it up.

Note: .... The annoying thing is I look really huge and thick now that I went back to normal eating. My shoulders seem to be 1 meter wide - and it will get worse with my waist being 32-33" when I am at low BF. That's not what I intended to have.
No more weightlifting for a long while, except rehab.

Day 124-
Was an ok day - 1 hour walk, 30 minutes of cardio, 30 minutes of rehab weights.

Diet: Around 2300 calories, don't know how much was in Veit. food I ate.

I am slowl getting back in the saddle, but motivation is problematic.

Still, I remember how good it felt to be 265 again.

 

[Sarumyan]

Damn it - didn't save my previous post.

Day 125: - lbs
Was an ok day. Went to Viet. place, calories around 2500. Good amount of activity.

Training: 30 minutes Cardio, 30 minutes rehab.

 

[Sarumyan]

Day 126 - monster day.
Weight: 273.4

Have some problems with my car - but oh well, couldn't hurt to walk and bus around for a while.

Training: Walking - 2.5 hours, Rehab weights - 45 minutes (medium), Boxing/Wrestling - 2 hours. Active, stressful day.

Diet:

Add 250 calories for yogurt - had to eat smth before bed.

Caloric deficit: -2900.

Note: I notice women are much closer physically to me lately. I get more looks and interest, especially from young dumb girls who think I am a football/rugby player. Even though I gained solid 5-6 pounds during my hiatus, it didn't go to my face, I think that was the reason I slacked off. Good news the water weight came off quickly and I am back on track.

This was the first day in 2 weeks, when I felt like I am on a diet and I still ate almost 2000 calories.

Tomorrow is going to be tough - going to work all day long on the job I won't take anyways, but I need experience for the big companies when the season hits.

So yeah boys - I back, is normal.

Day 127: One of the most hardcore days in my life.
I went out on personal sales training - full day, plus walked on my own for 2 hours.
When I came back home I realized i don't really want to eat and can wait till tomorrow.

Calories: ~500 (oat bar, coffee )

Workout: Walking ~5 hours, Standing ~2 hours. Tired as fck.

Caloric balance -4300. Tomorrow's scale will definitely surprise me.

Calories:

Plus 200-300 calories in misc. foods.

Training: Weights/Rehab - medium, 45 minutes ~250 calories.
Walking 2.5 hours fast ~ 1000 calories.

Note: I ate a cup of ice cream yesterday night, but no regrets - needed some sleep aid.

Note2: The job search is getting more intense with lots of interviews, the funny thing is - I am waiting for the august-september season to start for the big companies to open up their positions.

So yeah... weight loss is going steady, and so is everything else.

 

[Sarumyan]

Damn it. I got a bit stressed out and moody before bed - so ended up eating a chocolate bar, and lots of fruits - so erm, plus 1100 calories.

Still in 1500 deficit, so alright.

Whats up silly bitches!

Day 130: 275.1 8.0/10

Diet:

Exercise:

. Some upper body light work and finally jogged today. Knees were ok, but sensitive.

Note: WElcome to the BloatCity. I think the increase in walking is causing all that crazy water retention, or maybe the 3 kg of potatoes I ate over the course of the last 4 days bind water in my intestines still ( tell it to vegetarians who bitch about meat digesting too long ). It was a relatively lazy day. I walked a lot, but did nothin else.

 

[Sarumyan]

day 131: 273.2 2.5/10

was a cheat day. For some reason no regrets, and i do look slimmer this morning. Around 2000 calorie surplus though.

 

[Sarumyan]

Day 132( 1st Liquid ): Suddenly got that surge of steely determination and willpower - which means LIQUID days. My goal is to get to 260 via liquid dieting, tired of waiting. Regardless, I will resume normal dieting at the end of 8th day.

WEight 275.3lbs - 9/10.

Diet- 2 lattes - 300 cals
5 cups of green tea - 80 cals
Booster Juice - 350 cals.

Around 1000 total.

Training: Active day, didn't sleep much though.
Walking - fast, 2 hours - ~900 calories.
Jogging - 7.0 mph, 20 minutes. - 300 cals.( Jogging is the hardest thing for me to do, I don't understand why calories given on the internet are on par with stairs machine, its not the same intensity, not even close ).

Light weights while still full on glycogen.

Good day, and I felt pretty good.
