Are you doing weekly refeeds?

Thought about it, but decided to just stick with basic Keto as long as my weight is coming off.

Weekly check-in time.

300 pounds, 15 ounces, which is just an ounce over a 3 pound weight loss. It was a bit of a tease to get so close to breaking into the 200's, but 3 pounds works for me, and now I'm positioned to bust into the 200's next Monday, unless there's some sort of correction.

Either way, I'm completely locked in on my eating and disciplined in that area. In terms of exercise, just an intense hour a day on the stationary bike, nothing on the outdoors one.

The thing I'm getting good at is dealing with things that bring me out of rhythm, like being on the road for a day or having to go to events where food is prevalent. Thanks for the encouragement!

Planning on doing one last carb load right before the show?

For sure.

Well good luck, man!

I'm back on the keto wagon for now. Gotta reverse diet back up. My metabolism is a bit ****ed right now.

Thanks. I've thought about doing a reefed about 4 weeks out just to get a better idea of where I'm at. What do you think about just a day of loading up with 4-5 bowls of oats or something? Does it a few days to fill the muscles back up or just a day?

I squatted 205 the other night. It was only once, and I think I got parallel. Not sure though. Kind of sucks not having a spotter. I always feel weird about asking some random guy at the gym. I'm always afraid someone will think I'm hitting on them.

I did finally dead lift 225 again, and I did it twice. New PR!

Seeing my trainer again, albeit twice per month instead of once per week. Still, I like having someone I can ask questions to and get feedback from. And it's someone who will spot me at least once every other week.

I have not gotten my diet back on track. I've been going out on a lot of dates lately, and it's constantly dinner or drinks. That's an excuse though. The real culprit is lack of planning on my part.

EDIT: Still working on doing a pull up. I can do three with a weaker resistance band. Whenever I try one on my own, I'm lucky to get halfway up. Still, it's further than I used to get. :)

Started my new workout and calorie count 8 days ago... I started at 224.8 and was eating and drinking shit all the time.

Downloaded myfitnesspal, runtastic and couch to 5k. 8 days later I am 218.4 and dropping.

I run about 2 miles 4-5 times a week burning around 500 calories. My calorie allotment is 1700 + workout. I am averaging about 1500 calories a day. All because I changed what I was eating, still eating a lot of food, just different foods.

Goal is 185/190, we will see how long it takes to get there. At this pace I should be there by Christmas.

I'd say 24 hours or so to fill them up. I wouldn't do oats, though. Too much fiber.

Fat ****s the carb load. So, it has to be lean, low fiber carbs. Basically, bread, pasta and dextrose. Rice is okay, but not ideal.

Cool thanks. Just saw my coach and he said I have 15+ to go in a little under 7 weeks :facepalm: If I don't hit that their is a show in Iowa 2 weeks after that one I think I can make. I'm giong to try to mix my research Clen in with my Evomuse Eviscerate and try to kick it up a bit.
