Trips-175 Log

[trip]

Goal, 175 lbs, 9% BF, by August 23 rd

Time: 80 days, equaling 0.43 lbs per day

8 - 10 day segments/cycles

Goal 1 - 10 days
A. weigh in, upon arising
B. mirror check
C. am workouts, 1 hour upon arising
D. log all meals in notebook, lol, i won't bore u all with this one
E. post starting pictures

Cycle Hump, workout within 1 hour, imho, sets up tone for whole day
and my schedule with my mother has been an excuse, plus, with
no set work schedule I tend to lose focus and 1 hour turns into
3, sometimes 4-5 hours

Thus, this leads to very erratic eating and huge spikes in insulin,
which makes it even worse.

I always workout everday and in the am, so this point is not an
issue. This is my hundreth time at the rodeo so I know what
works for me and why. Overall, I'd say I'm a grinder, I can eat
same meals and same schedule for months no problems once
I'm back on the horse.

First Sign of Success: The HEROIN FEELING, it's the name i've dubbed
for when I eat clean sixes, within 3-7 days stress will leave my
body and a calmness will ensue making it desirable to keep on
track.

Daily Schedule:

Sunday-April 23rd
Scale: 209 lbs, estimated BF 15%
Mirror: Quads, smooth washed out very slight cuts
Cardio: 45.45 minutes, 400 calories, 210 minutes after rising, UNACEPTABLE

lol, yeah fwiw, i was 193 back in august, having touched 190 a few times, after gram died, i had too move, etc. etc. etc, got into not eating regularly and eating 6-9 pizza's from domino's

i blew it out last week, pizza, a dozen chocolate covered bavarian cream donuts, some cookies, etc. , carbing up for depletion, or at least that's the lie i tell myself

actually, i've been working up to it for awhile, a few months behind due to more family issues

either way, progress is the theme for the year
