The Fat Loss Times

Fat Loss Log 6/13/06

I weighed in at 257 this morning. I am continuing to make good progress.

Today's plan...... continue to do what I am doing.

Weekend update

I weighed in at 259 this morning. Not bad for a Monday morning. I usually wreck my diet on the weekend but I didn't do too bad.

I went to a wedding on Saturday and I really enjoyed the meal at the reception. Beef fillet, crabcake, mushroom chicken, mixed veggies, crab dip, chocolate fondue fountain, ect. Top that off with a few beers later and some late night junk food and you have a good cheat meal. But I knew this was going to be the case so I kept everything else in check over the whole weekend.

I need to drink more water on the weekends. I have been making this mistake for months and I need to change this.

I plan to go to the gym tonight and get in a nice and easy workout.

Things are going well. Lets see if it stays that way.

Fat Loss Log for 6/9/06

I weighed in today at 260 pounds. That is a 4 pound drop from yesterday. Yesterday's diet went well. I think in the end it was low on protein but it was good. Here is what it looked like yesterday.....

• Breakfast....... 40 gram protein shake
• Lunch............32 gram protein shake
• Dinner...........2 hamburger patties, steamed broccoli, peas
• Night.............32 gram protein shake

I probably come in about 30 grams of protein short.

Here is my diet plan for today.

• Eggbeaters (about a cup)
• 32 gram protein shake
• can of tuna
• 40 gram protein shake
• salad with some type of meat

That should put me near my protein goals. I still need more veggies but I will phase them in slowly.

I still feel strong. Forty more pounds to go. I'm going to need my strength.

Back to the rapid fat loss plan

Hey all,

I am feeling strong again so you know what that means........... It's time to suffer.

I started the PSMF again this morning. I know I said that I was going to not do it but I just can't help myself. My mood swings are getting less frequent and I am actually starting to be more pleasant to be around. Then why torture myself with this diet? Because I can. I think I am emotionally to the point where I can maintain the discipline needed to use this very powerful fat loss diet. I even plan to follow this diet as strictly as possible. That means......

• a minimum of 170 grams of protein
• faithful taking of my fish oil (4 grams, 2 times a day)
• faithful taking of my EC stack
• More real food and less protein shakes
• More veggies
• As few carbs as possible
• Two free meals a week
• As little dietary fat as possible
• A full body weight training day 2 times a week
• Cardio a few times a week
• and repeat, and repeat and repeat until I get to 220 pounds.

That's right.... I said 220 pounds.

I am going to grind this out until I hit 220.

I weighed in at 264 this morning. That's up from 261 Tuesday but it ain't bad considering my dinner last night. I went to a crabhouse and I ate a lot. Had a beer or two as well and had some coldstone creamery ice cream for dessert. It was a fine last meal.

I'm finally mentally ready to hit the accelerator again.

Midweek weigh in

I couldn't resist myself this morning and I weighed myself. I weighed in at 261 pounds. That's good because that is what I want to weigh in Friday.

Yesterdays diet was not that good but I will survive. It looked like this....

• Breakfast..... Hoods low carb milk and an apple
• Lunch......... Protein Shake and an Apple
• Afternoon.... Crispy Club chicken sandwich from McDonald's
• Night......... Slice of Mushroom Pizza

That's pretty shitty now that I look at it. Not near enough protein. Today is starting off the same way.

I plan on hitting the weights tonight. My groin has healed up so I don't have any excuses.

Overall, I am feeling good. It's about time.

The days are beginning to get brighter

I think I have turned the corner regarding my diet struggles over the past month. I'm starting to feel motivated.

The past month has been emotionally brutal but I'm slowly starting to heal. I still hurt but I am slowly able to focus on myself again.

Reestablishing my goals.

I weighed in this morning at 263 pounds. Not bad considering that I weighed 268 on tuesday.

I have going over my goals and I have to adjust my goal to be at 224 pounds when I get to Las Vegas in late October. I have a little over 19 weeks to reach my goal of 224 pounds. That seemed almost impossible at first but I then run the numbers. Here is what I came up with...

I have to lose 2 pounds a week to be at 224 when we hit Vegas. I think 2 pounds a week is very doable.

My new weekly goal is a loss of 2 pounds. That means I have to be at 261 by next Friday. I can do this. I can do this while eating sensibly.

So my goal is to be 261 on 6/9/06. I want to be a "carbed up" 261.

I will post my diet details and exercise details later today.
