Guess Who's Back ? (The rebuilding of Chi_town)
Ok...........so I need to start a Wo thread.
Here's the plan..............
Nutrition: Continue to eat semi clean and ease into strick nutrition.
Try and keep ratio's to about 45-50% Protein, 30% clean carbs and 20-25% fat.
Cardio: 3-5 sessions a week.......Fast walking at luchtime and 1-2 sessions of some kind of cardio on the weekend....be it biking, running ect.
Lifting: For this month there will be no lifting in a gym. I will use some dumbells at home, do crunches and pushups.
I left my old gym (that I hated BTW) and I am not going to join my favorite gym (LIfetime Fitness) until either May or June.
My kids have started softball already, so I will get some extra exercise from helping in practices.
My current weight: 260+
Current BF: 21%
(see I told you this is the worst shape I have been in in over 5 years..LOL)
The goal: 230 lbs at 12-14% BF
It's time !

Thanks Orca ! I'll be ramping things up in the next few weeks.
This week, the plan was just to eat clean.
It seem that I have come down with just a wonderful spring cold.....
....runny/stuffy nose (it changes:rolleyes......LOL)
....tired as hell
....overall feeling like crap.
Nutrition was pretty good today....protein was low and carbs a bit high.
I just finished some chicken noodle soup.......(I don't care what they say...it works for colds....damn it. LOL)
I had to work offsite for 1/2 the day....the good part was I got done earlier, the bad part is I hit major traffic jams (contruction and and accident) on the way home....took me over an hour for what should have been 20 mins frm where I was working.
Ok...so I have decided that in the next week or two I will be rejoining my favorite gym. I really need to do some morning cardio and occasionally some lifting before work as it really ramps up motabolism and will only help my efforts. While I don't like lifting in the early am (4am) I do like doing my cardio then. I end up feeling great the rest of the morning and day.
But 1st I must shake this cold as it could worsen and put me flat on my back.
More chicken soup and extra sleep should do the trick.
Happy Hump Day !

Welcome back . . . looking forward to seeing your workouts!
Looks like you are aiming for the same macro breakdown that I've started to try and stick to--will be great to follow how that works for you.

Busy last few days with Work and being sick.
It seems I am finally starting to shake this cold. Thank God !
Nutrition has slipped some these last few days but not bad over all.
Only cardio I have gotten in was my favorite kind.... LOL
Seriously, I need to shake this cold...it got into my chest pretty bad.
I am going to Michigan on Bizz tomorrow night for a few days.
Weather here is fianlly nice......70 something yesterday and still nice today.
Weather permitting, I am going to start cycling again next weekend.
Where I live now, I am about a 1/2 mile from the major bike path that I have been riding these last 4-5 years. I need to work my way back up into being able to ride 50+ miles at a shot.
I am going to Galena Illinois for Memorial Day weekend and plan on doing all kinds of hiking and riding.
My girls have a softball game today at 1pm.
You all have a fantastic weekend !

It's been a tough road shaking this cold.
I thought it was over and it came back a bit.
I spent most of last night in bed sleeping 12 hrs +
Today I feel a bit better but still very tired.
Sunday starts strict nutrition for me.
This week has been so-so nutrition, but probably light in cals and protein.
With the good weather this weekend, I plan on getting plenty of outside activity.
I hope you all are having a good week ?

John ,
Thanks for stopping by and the encouraging words.
I know I will get back to where I want to be, it's just going to take a few months. I am in no rush, but it is time to get serious.

I am good Tiff..........just really busy this pat two weeks.
Ok...........nutrition has been really good this week.
Very good......but not perfect yet.......but I am close.
I am prepping most of my food and doing very well overall.
Even down a few lbs this week. (- 3 or -4 lbs)
I have been extremely busy at work this past month and I am doing some side work for a friend that is very very lucrative $$$. Activity and cardio levels have not been where they need to be which is another reason I just have to get my ass back to the gym....especially so I can do my early am cardio.
My youngest turns 13 tomorrow and I got her a cool new phone (among other things. We have 2 softball games this weekend and I have my parenting classes this and next weekend (mandatory in IL for divorces with minor children). So this weekend will be very busy and I should be pretty active.
I hope you all have a fabulous weekend.........I sure plan too.

Seriously, you put a lot of effort into getting pretty damned lean before. No doubt that you can do it again!!! It is always easier the second time around

Thanks SR..........you're right I did work my ass off before, so I know how to do it.

Just got back from a 4 mile Sunday morning walk.
I feel great and I am doing fine.....but I do need to get my ass back in the gym.
Work is still very busy.....and I have a few trips coming up for work.
Nutrition has been very good....even last night's dinner out with a friend.
I had a grecian Salmon and it was yummie.
I am off to yet another softball game for my girls today.
After that it's going to be a lazy day....and maybe taking my kids shopping for a bit.
You all have a great day/week.
