Purt and I have a log going elsewhere but I thought this was too funny not to share with you all
Friday is one of my designated cheat days so the gf and I headed over to the local dinner after the gym. Salmon, Grilled snow peas and a small salad, with a Skinny Cow Ice Cream waiting for me at home. ( my cheats are lame).
THIS IS WHERE IT GETS GOOD!
The waiter goes through the dessert lists for my gf. KEY LIME PIE? That is my absolute favorite I hear myself say. I will take THAT.
So the waiter comes out with a slice of apple (gf) a slice of key lime for me, and a box. Puts the box on the table with the plate on top and say's "You are not allowed to say no, just take it and enjoy!" (HE GAVE ME THE ENTIRE PIE). Now I did not have the heart after this gesture to tell him in the middle of a fierce OBF transformation challenge, and am only allowed one cheat item and it is right back to eggwhites and protein shakes once I leave the dinner.
So I guess the snack stand at my son's football game will be serving key lime pie tomorrow!
Frank-you are a beast bro. Pro card is coming very soon.
Thanks bro, but much work coming my way, even though I dont doubt I will make it if I keep my drive and my genetics and body doesnt give out on me.

An entire pie? Must have been rough not to sit down with a fork and destroy it in one sitting. 8 weeks out from my show earlier this year, a friend placed an order with a local cookie delivery company to ship some warm cookies & milk to my work place. 1/2 dozen cookies and 2 pints of frosty milk. Of course I ate all of it - I could not resist.
Looks like alot of good things going on in the thread. People really seem focus and the competition will be fierce. My progress from a weight loss standpoint has slowed down some. Upping the carbs/calories and some other tweaks to get things restarted. However visually I see improvement week in and week out so trying not to focus on the scale.
I just keep to my plan and do what I can to bring results. In the end it might not be enough, and I won't earn all them Mod Reps and other stuff, however the best result will be the rededication to my training that this contest has brought. Prior to this I was content to be a mid 40 guy that use to be in shape and compete and still was in better shape than many of his peer group. However the last 5 weeks have proven to me that I still have the ability (and most importantly the desire) to push my body to a point it has not seen in several years. I might not get there in 12 weeks; But I will get back there And win-lose-or draw...............THAT IS A PRIZE IN AND OF ITSELF.
Frank-you are a beast bro. Pro card is coming very soon.
I hope when my 40s roll around which will be sooner rather than later I am able to push with half the dedication and knowledge you have.
I really wish Frank wasn't bulking he is a beast for sure!

Thats what its all about, even with myself, I've got one more year of 20's to go...Then its all down hill Dont want to be that pot bellied guy out on the beach/river that "used to have a good body"
I trained all through school, always having one of the better bodies in school, and being one of the strongest guys, but fell off the "health wagon" not too long after school... Went 8-9 years and never stepped into a gym....Went from about 180 when i graduated, to a whoping 240lbs.... I finally said enough was enough and hit the gym again... dropped 40lbs, got stronger, and was feeling good about myself again...
Then i changed jobs and my current job is rotating shift work with a fair amount of overtime that comes in extra 8 hr shifts.... I tried for a couple of weeks but found it almost impossible to do anything while on night shift.....We then went to 12hr days 7 days a week, so i flipped to night shift pretty much the whole time because i went to school some during the day.....That caused me to stop going to the gym..... just wasn't enough time and i was too tired...
almost 3 years later and i'm back now, making it work and hitting the gym pretty much everyday i don't have a 16 hr shift....I've gone from 196 right before the comp started down to 184, with my lifts going up every week still......
So for me too, this contest is more about motivation than winning..
Although the desire to win has kept me away from full on cheat meals for weeks
Week # 5 runs from 10/25 - 10/31/09. You must post, at least one time, in this thread before Midnight EST on 10/31.
IMPORTANT: You must post at LEAST once a week, if you miss 2 weeks of posting you will be disqualified from the competition. I will be keeping track of who has posted.
Also... When you're posting try to be as active as you can. Posts like "posting" once a week won't cut it this time. Be active, participate, and motivate. Coming in and saying, "here is my post for this week" does absolutely NOTHING for your fellow competitors.

OK, I have done with these weekly carb ups. I take them away and start eating LOW CALORIES every day. I have been able to increase my lean body mass by 2 pounds. Now cardio + large deficit + high protein so that I lose 1.5 - 2 lbs per week.
Legs feel worked, that high volume workout didn't stress my nervous system but definitely causes some serious DOMS to my legs.
And Frankdaddy, high carbs make me feel tired, that's for sure.
I added some pics to my picture gallery and changed my avi

FANTASTIC FALL CONTEST
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=119342331
Just a quick question, was that a new record on the squats? or on good mornings?
LOL (half & half)
Form over Ego for me, don't hurt yourself doing that!
I dont see myself squat down at all besides putting in work to keep from falling on my face.
It was not ego lifting, it was quit being a pussy lifting and Do Work! It's how progress is made in my books. Sometimes you have to try things to see if you are holding back or not, which I make sure I never do.

Wanted to stay in the game here another week to see if I could get the workouts in some kind of routine with the way my schedule has been. I actually had some decent workouts this past week- just turning the brain off while watching the World Series and just lifting. I can't even say how much I really worked out- I just know when the game is over I'm tired.
On a lighter tone, I got flashed today. It was good.

LOL - I hear ya, I drank last night as well (shame on me), but am currently gearing up for the gym.
It is strange on the rare nights I drink, the next morning I either feel like crap working out, or get in some of the best lifts... I have no clue why/how.
