My journey to becoming a BEAST!!!

[SFreppinitbig]

This is my fat loss log. I've been cutting for the past 5 months, was lacking i nthe first 2 1/2 and the last 2 months I've been pretty solid, 8 or 9 pound loss in 2 months.

My goal is to not look chubby at all with a shirt off, meaning somewhere around 14% BF. My goal is to be do this in 2 months, August 18, the day I move in for my first year of college.

My stats:

5-10, 179.5 LBS, estimate of 20% BF.

Good news: Usually after I sit down for at least 10 minutes I begin to see red line under my pecs, those are nearly gone.

[SFreppinitbig]

Morning weigh-in: 179 -.5 lb

Gym today, have Squats, bench, rows today.

[SFreppinitbig]

Not the greatest day but still did allright, had a smal ltaco bell taco, a small veggie pizza and some noodles, but everyhting else was good.

Here's my fitday, cals ended up where they should be. A great day at the gym, felt real tired for some reason a couple hours after, legs felt weak, probably because I ran 5 miles late lastnight and got up this morning and did squat, was able to do two extra reps btw.

[SFreppinitbig]

Oh Hai guise!

Todays Run:

Ran: 3.11 (5K) Miles

Time: 24:43

Pace: 7:57

Calories burned: 358

Hot one today, went out to run at 9:30 AM, was 90 degrees, legs felt dead from 5 miles 2 nights ago and heavy squats yesterday morning. Still, with the heat and fatigue, I was able to keep asub 8 mile pace. Last week I ran the 5K in 24:09, 34 seconds quicker but I think I am improving. I'll either do HIIT or a 10K Sunday morning, depending on how I'm feeling.

[BC23]

Love it, good job, good luck.

[SFreppinitbig]

Checked Applebees nutritional content and the veggie pizza is only 150 cals, not 450, to subtract 300 cals from the fitday, ended the day at around 1850.

[xvicknumber7x]

I hope that was your cheat day, lol.

[SFreppinitbig]

I hope that was your cheat day, lol.

Ya, it got a little sloppy in the end. But it's not realy a cheat f you stay within your macros. Still kept my cals low. With the mistake with the pizza I was at 45/30/25 which isn't bad. Today, had a small slice of pizza but that pretty much it, still keeping my cals around or below 2000.

[SFreppinitbig]

Kind of proud, my sister bought a pizza for lunch today and mom bought two large ones tonight for some people that came over and I only had one small piece the whole day. Man, pizza is my weakness, 2 years ago I'd eat a large to myself, and just think that 1 slice has 250 calories let alone 10 slices!!!!

Here's my stats for today. Ran and burned 358 cals and swam for a half hour today. Deadlifts tomorrow.

[SFreppinitbig]

A good day at the gym, was 1005 degrees outside and 82 in the gym so I was sweating a lot. For the past few months since I've done the 6 training days per week my carbs have been high but with mostly healthy and complex carbs. Anybody think this will hurt me in losing fat? I feel like since I train hard 6X per week that I need all the nergy I can get.

Here is todays fitday, good day, had a slice of pizza but that was only slip up, cals still on the low end and macros look good.

[SFreppinitbig]

Todays Run:

Ran: 6.21 (10K) Miles

Time: 52:50

Pace: 8:30

Calories burned: 715

Got a little thirsty and dehydrated in the last mile but fared allright. Took 6 pills of Cordygen VO2 this morning. Tomorrow I got squats, then I may take a day of or go bike riding, we'll see.

[The_Contrarian]

Good to see some solid determination! Definitely harder to lose weight when you are more closer to your 'ideal weight'. I am sure you will pull through since you already have had 5 months of success, just keep at it and sometimes I guess it takes 'trial and error' to tweak your diet around if you stuck. I think after a period of strong cardio sessions you should be able to 'break through', keep at it man!! Best of luck

[SFreppinitbig]

Thanks, I'm still having some trouble losing weight, stuck at 179, I'm hoping I'm down to 178.5 Wednesday, a week from when I started the log and was 179.5

Lastnights diet:

[SFreppinitbig]

Sup peeps,

Today is my offday, hasn't had one since last Monday, felt well needed even though I've had good workouts lately.

I'm thinking about toning it down in the gym, not going to failure every workout, maybe trying some things different before I go on a strick program again in 8 weeks. Maybe some DB incline presses or something. Getting used to some of the workouts I'll be doing for WS4SB.

Well, yersterday was a good day at the gym, here's my diet.
Went pretty well, had a cheat meal having a sloppy joe but burned those carbs off in the pool. Only had 1500 cals or so.

[SFreppinitbig]

Weighed in at STILL 179. Went to the gym today, tried to new exercises, felt kind of lost to be honest. I'm bored of my lifts and want to change it around. Still got 7 1/2 weeks left of cutting. Well, here was todays diet.

[SFreppinitbig]

Ran: 3.11 (5K) Miles

23:46 Minutes

Pace: 7:39

Calories burned: 361

I'm damn happy, previous 5k runs I've timed in at 24:10 and 25:43.

Also weighed in at 177 POUNDS!!!!

That's down 2.5 from 8 days ago. 11 more to go.

Yikes! I ate well today until cheated with Panda Express. I know PE wouldn't be the best food but didnt know it'd be that many cals, my meal was 1000 cals and i didnt even get that much, some orange chicken and fried rice. I checked the nutrition aft I ate and was shocked. Last time I eat there. Even with that error, I ate 2350 cals today, and had a dismal f/c/p of 33/43/24. Tomorrows a new day, I just hope I didnt gain fat today, I mean I did burn nearly 400 cals running and swam laps for an hour today, we'll see 2m morning.

[SFreppinitbig]

Oh man, I did bulgarian split squats and hanging leg raises for the the 1st time yesterday and I'm sore as hell. I weighed in today at 176.5! I'm going to run a 10K today even though I'm pretty sore. Hopefully this isn't going to be a pain in the ass.

[SFreppinitbig]

6/28

Weigh-in: 176.5 - 3 lbs from 10 days ago

Ran: 5 Miles

41:52 minutes

Calories burned: 585

Macros for yesterday:

[SFreppinitbig]

Still in at 176.5. Extremely sore in the hammy's, did RDLs and glute-ham raises yesterday. Diet yesterday was decent, calories were a little up since I made a homemade chicken, cashew salad. 480 cals right there. I ended up with around 2300 cals which isnt bad and i didnt feel hungry when I went to bed, a metter of fact hingry so I think I ate undermaintenance.

Today I biked 21 miles at the gym in 1 hour, so I averaged 21 MPH on the bike. My legs felt like bricks by the end. Ended up burning nearly 600 cals.

Nice log and I will be reading your log so you are no longer alone. :-)

Great job so far and keep it up.

I didn't know anyone was using AOL anymore, dialup?

[SFreppinitbig]

WHOOO! Lost another half pound. It's officially been exactly 2 weeks since I started this log and I'm down 3.5 pounds. I'm on pace to acually weigh a pound less, 165.5 by my goal date og August 20.

[Jadesky]

Great job - keep up the hard work!!

Do you have a CrossFit class near you? You might enjoy the variety...

I had never heard of it until I just looked it up. They have one about 2 miles away from me. They also have place where I'll be moving this summer for college in Chico. How much do these cost? Do they teach you how to perform olympic exercises because I need professional help with the technique.

[Jadesky]

Yes, they can teach technique - olympic, kettlebells etc. I think it depends on the instructors/classes. My experience is a month long boot camp, on Mon, Wed, Fri for an hour, lots of 'functional fitness' emphasis, lots of different activities. But you can also just follow the exercises on the website for variety and interest. The boot camp I signed up for costs $125. It's taught by an ex-Marine Corp guy, and yes I threw up after the first class :lol: And I'm doing a ladies class, the class with the guys in was way too hard for me

Ya, it seems like I'd be able to make it to the level 2 class. i may take that up sometime next year. If nothing else, they xan show how to properly do those sxercises which would be great since I want to get into weightlifting.

[SFreppinitbig]

Sorry, I've been lagging a bit posting but still keeping up with the training.

Yesterday morning:

Ran: 5K (3.11 Miles)

24:09 minutes

Calories burned: 360

It was hot but I still think I did allright. Tomorrow I run 10K and then Sat I lift. I think I'm going campping for a week to 3 days so I'll be taking a mini break, probably need one anyways.

Weight still at 176, expecting a half pound less tomorrow morning

[D@K]
