Did another pig out on leftovers last night . This mornings weigh in of the damage for the weekend was up 3.5 lbs so I'm back to 240. Got some work to do the next couple weeks.

Christmas eve dinner with the family and Christmas morning breakfast with the wife and kids is done. Time to get back on track. Cardio, cardio and more cardio are in store for today and tomorrow.

Excellent article Jerry, thanks.

So I've had a lazy couple of days and ate a few things I shouldn't have. Climbed on the scale this morning and I'm down 2 lbs to 237. Wtf? But I'll take it.

I'll be down, as long as nothing else comes up. Right now I have no other plans.

Thanks for the tip, when I initially decided that it made sense just though maybe I was wrong.

Should probably do my abs with upper body instead of lower body workout. I work my abs the other day when I did legs so today my abs and legs are sore. But then when I went to work upper body today i didn't realize how much of my abs you use to work arms and shoulders. Ouch, ouch. I got through it but it was definitely a learning curve

I piss a lot already, I drink probably 1 1/2 gallons of water a day, every day. Ive always got a water bottle with me. I have a 1 quart bottle at work and I know it gets filled 4 to 5 times every work day the probably another one at home. Maybe it's all water weight and I should dehydrate myself.. I'm totally kidding.

Finally recovered from my upper body day, hit the legs and stomach Monday and today is day 2 and barley able to walk up steps. Do upper body again tonight. Weight is still stalled at 239ish, but I know I'm build some muscle now so as long as its not a gain. Might do nothing but protein shakes then a light dinner the week after new year, that is 6 days leading up to vacation and just want to see what happens. My goal of 229.9 before 1/8 prob isn't going to happen but id still like to see 235.

Sounds like Andy and Justin are in planning mode.

With working 60 to 70 hours a week, the holidays and my up coming vacation I'm strapped for time myself. I just wasn't sure if I had missed a post or thread about it.

What ever happen to this? Did I miss something? Wouldn't be surprised if I did.

Same here it was around 50lbs lost before most started to comment. at 60lbs lost now and everyone that hasent seen me in a while says something.

I work out in whatever work shirt I had on that day and a pair of cheap Walmart shorts. Even my shoes are $16 Walmart specials. I do like UA polos and t-shirts every day wear though.

Do you need work out gear or like me and just need to replace you entire wardrobe because nothing fits? www.underarmor.com has some really good deal today up to 40% off of some really nice stuff. You have to search for the discounted stuff but worth it and there is FREE shipping. Just bought myself and my son some $12 shirts.

I'll do some cardio tonight and some leg work, then hit the upper again tomorrow. Sounds like a plan.

So should I wait another day or hit it again tonight 48 hr later

OK did a pretty heavy upper body work out on Wednesday evening. Woke up Thursday morning and felt NOTHING and didn't feel anything all day long. Kind of wondered if I did something wrong or not enough. Woke up this morning(Friday) and everything was a little stiff but not bad. It is now almost 2pm and my bi''s, tri's and chest are burning like a mother f'er. Is this normal? I haven't real done anything strenuous all day. Why did it take 36 hours before I felt the effects? And my plan was to hit it every other day but being sore today should I wait at least a extra day for muscles to recover. Just thought it was strange how it all played out.

No doubt do what works for ya. I was just saying I can't eat that.

When I eat peanut butter I consider it a cheat, it's usually my go to when I have sweet craving. Too many carbs to eat it daily for me.

Ok researching on doing a little more lifting, not much just some entry level stuff. My question is, I know they say you need a rest day inbetween lifting days. Can I do cardio on those rest days of does my body need a complete rest?

I could never get into recording rides or any of that but I do enjoy watching what others post.

My wife has had a 60 to 70 mile commute for the last 4 years, I don't know how she does it. She loves her job though. Mine is 9 miles and I still hate it.

Show was mildly disappointing the last couple times I went, but If I don't work and someone wants to put something together ill keep it a maybe.

Yes but it's kind of a split departure date. We are going to meet somewhere in Western Kentucky the night of Friday June 2nd, probably somewhere east of, or in Louisville. Then depart as a group from there Saturday morning. So the choice is meet up at the hotel Friday night(june 2nd) for a nights stay(which hasent been determined where yet). Or meet up Saturday morning probably at a breakfast spot (TBD)somewhere in or near Louisville. Might even be some where between Louisville and Florance, haven't ironed that out yet. Then Saturday will be making our way towards the Ozarks(try to avoid some freeway but will still be strait roads). Sunday and Monday playing around in the Ozarks working our way south towards Natchez Mississippi. Tuesday work our way north on the Natchez Trace Parkway towards Nashville. Wednesday Nashville area to Fontana avoiding as much freeway as possible. That's the bones of the trip, like I said still ironing things out and will start it's own thread when I do.
