diaper trashcan slams... lol

That's so awesome! good job!!


So I've had a little set back, last week on leg day I dislocated my shoulder doing squats (weight of the squat bar knocked it out of place). I've done it before like a zillion times, but it took me nearly 45 mins to pop it back in place and it completely threw off my mood for the rest of the week. Ate a bunch of sh*t, lounged around all weekend, drank the pain away (that's my excuse this week for my excessive weekend drinking binges) and finally returned to the gym today. BUT after my "horrible" days off, I weighed in this morning at 148.1!!

I'm still not out of my weekend funk though. First IF meal of the day and I attacked my experimental cheesecake from a recipe here on these forums... Ate all my macros for the day!... I wasn't supposed to eat the whole thing, darn that cheesecake...oh well.

I cringed hard for you when I read this yesterday and I meant to write to you but I ended up having an accident of my own involving my ankle. :/ I slept on the livingroom floor last night and I spent 40 minutes trying to make a simple omelette and coffee this morning, lol. I'm having trouble getting around but I should be able to get someone to take me to a doctor later today or tomorrow.

I'm glad you were able to get back into the gym but take it easy out there, and try to avoid making anymore cheesecake until you're out of the funk!

Update: There's a lot of swelling, I've got an air cast on my left foot and I'm on crutches for a little bit, but the radiologist didn't see any fractures in my foot or ankle. If I don't see any improvement in a week, however, I'll have to see an orthopedist.

I've just started a more hardcore workout that I made for myself, this is my third day.

Sweet jesus my legs! Getting up out of my chair at work is a major operation where I have to use my arms to lift my body as high as I can, before I get engage my legs to get out of my chair.

And lifting my arms above my head is no mean feat either.

So sore.

[NitrogenWidget]

Its hot. Like africa hot. All cement is mixed and poured. Might move some rocks after I make a run to home depot. Îll have sheet updated tonight.

[realdeal23]

Nitro -> my weight = 282.4 down a couple pnds. Even though i had my 21st bday and had a hell of alot of alcohal, still at a loss.. Feeling insane losses this week with hot ass work temps , diet down, and good lifting habits!

Omg that sounds horrible!! What did you do?! I hope it improves, at least I'm still mobile with a hurt shoulder, I would complain like a little baby if it was my foot (more complaining then I'm doing right now would be hell for everyone haha)

[bama5584]

Sucks reading about all the injuries in here... hope all of you get better asap!

[TelusLob]

Morning peeps... Still chugging along. Keeping my weight stable now for the past couple of weeks. Swimming is keeping my weight from getting too far out of hand. Haven't lifted since Sunday.

[bama5584]

Just got in from my chest/back workout... I haven't been losing much weight lately, but my strength is still going up and my pants are fitting looser

[workinithard]

evening not many post today must have been a busy day, been eating my cals but I HAVE to find better food not hitting my macros so well. Went on a walk today with the wifey and 2 dogs, jog/run/sprint some of it just messing around. Muggy out today to sweated a lot.

[NitrogenWidget]

SPREADSHEET UPDATED!

Sorry it took so late.
I crashed hard last night.

[dagame04]

[caprica6]

^have you been pm'ing your weights to Nitro?

Thanks again for hosting this, Nitro. I've told you that a million times already.

Hey, Steffy. Thanks, Bama. It was dark and I slipped on some steps at home. :/

Safety first, people. Turn on the lights and hold onto the railing like your mamas told you.

At first I thought the accident was related to you sleeping on the living room floor. Woman, I hope you learned your lesson on holding rails and turning lights on. Heal quickly!

Went on a 2 mile walk. Nursing a cold. Haven't lifted yet.

[MUDRFR]

153 this morning.. 3 lbs this week.

Lots of folks getting all banged up in here! Take time...heal well before pushing it.

[mom2e3]

129.5 for Friday's weigh in for my Challenge with my friends. That's 5.5 pounds for the month so far. I can smell the money! But really, I can FINALLY smell my goal weight of 120--that's been a long time coming. lol

Lol, thank you, and congrats! Any rewards planned for breaking back into the 120s?

*green for two and only two weeks crew*

[chudude]

Went home on the west coast to attend to a family emergency...been a long couple of days for me.

I put the BBing on hold up until now, and let me be the first to say: I wrecked the diet pretty badly the past few days! All you can eat asian restaurant TWICE, a lot of greasy Chinese take out, McDonalds and Dunkin Donuts, ice cream (Drumsticks anyone?), candy, you name it. I can see now why I was pretty fat before...ha ha...

What's impressive is that I had just yesterday to get back on track, and this morning I weighed in at 158.6 lbs before a back and biceps workout. I was expecting a lot more damage to my body but I guess it had other plans. I'll probably be way up by next Tuesday however. We'll see.

Awesome on the green crew! I want a piece of that one day. Rewards? Only the everloving good feeling about finally seeing the 120-somethings again. I plan to stay here for a month or two. Maybe dip into the One-teens, perhaps?

Hope it's all okay by now.

[djsneak]

Here's where I am now



I'm thinking to cut another 10 -12lbs then lean bulk for 6 months

Any idea on BF %?

[TelusLob]

14% or so?

Weight is the same today despite eating 3k cals, drinking 3 beers and having a sodium laden dinner. Today, I finally have a baby sitter so I can go get a workout in the gym. Thinking of doing a full body workout.

Squats, Leg presses, calves
Deadlifts, T-bar rows, chinups
Incline Bench, dips, db bench

4 sets of each.

[workinithard]

Wieghed myself today because I havent been eatting totally right, I been eatting like I was when I was a teen 1-2 times a day and just crap lol but was 207lbs this morning. So feeling good, going for a run today got some new music on the ipod so I'm happy.

[caprica6]

I plan to stay here for a month or two.

Same here, except I have no say in the matter now. I'm trying to get by on diet alone and I'm retaining water like mad due to the heat and my injury. Looks like I'm on hiatus again...

Any dolphin or whale sightings?

Hope it's all okay by now.

x2, chudude!

*green for two and only two weeks crew*

LOL! Congratulations on getting there though. I got on it again two weeks ago too. Last cycle I didn't seen the green until about the second to last week or something like that. Just goes to show consistency and patience will get you the progress you want.

I roll with:

Greek yogurt
Hummus
salsa
Hidden Valley Dips seasoning packet (one serving)

For runnier dressing use more salsa, for thicker use more greek yogurt. Decent macros in the end.

[stingray72]

well my body bugg replacement still isnt here yet but ive really been not caring about my eating over say the last month and probably put on 4 pounds (up to 150 probably). Any way im putting my foot down and dieting until I like what I see starting tomorrow. Im done with the darn dairy queen flamethrower combo and ben and jerrys ice cream. Ill have to start making my own version of the flame thrower and buy greek yogurt ice cream or something instead of ben and jerrys. 1200 or more calories for a pint of ice cream is ridiculous.

[Javid_Shanghai]

OMG, this week I have gained 0.3kg, after almost 1 month of losing weight/fat, I gained some weight being on the same diet and training schedule.. So im going to working out 5 times a week instead of 3, and cardio 5 times a week for post training. Let see how my body will respond this after week.. Wish u guys to stay motivated! Cheers
