Avg BF% Ch. (three point calipers, Tanita BF Scale, Omron Monitor): no change
A little surprised to be up in weight but last Sat's beer fest may have brought in more cals than I thought. Deficits on rest days haven't been huge either.
Today I'm gonna pop my 2012 running cherry and try to bang out a 2 mi. jog. Saturday's normally a p90x workout day, but gonna shift to tomorrow due to the bad eating accompanying Easter. I'm also done with exclusively p90x2 workouts. For the most part, I enjoyed it, but I basically spun my wheels the last 3 months. It's almost like it allowed me to calorie cycle and eat crap on workout days vs. complement each other, even though the calorie cycling was a purposed goal vs. my own need (and some nights felt like forced feeding). I just don't see any discernible progress these past few months, and the #'s say the same. Since Jan 1, I am down 0.2 lbs and 0.4% BF and waist measurements are exactly the same. Trying to recomp with p90x2 = fail.
What I am hoping is that these total body workouts now put me in a good position to re-start a lifting routine. I STRUGGLED with Deads last time around and hoping I can get more out this time. I'm thinking of keeping things real simple (again) as I did last fall. RPT, 3 days a week with Deadlifts, Bench and Squats anchoring each of the days. 1-2 days a week of cardio (via jogs) or a p90x2 routine.
Today I dust off the bench.. tomorrow, it begins again!

Started off real slow.. went back to my Starting Strength final numbers from last Fall and then lowered a bit. With DL's, I am starting off way conservative and focusing on form to avoid tweaking my back.
Nutrition: Write-off
Hit fat & protein goals but with some of the snacking probably ended up upwards of 2,500 cals on the day. In any case, Sat's big deficit has me covered from serious fat gain.
Read through Andy Morgan's site the past 2 days and am going to just keep it real simple for RPT. The Big 3 paired with a second ex and that's it. Sat or Sun - DL/Weighted Chins; Tuesday - Bench/Dips or Bench/Push-Ups; Thursday - Squats/Weighted Pull or Squats/Press. Still not 100% on the 2nd ex for Tues/Thurs. Hope to also get in fasted LISS one day a week and one day of HIIT.

Drugged myself
Workout: HIIT, 20 min
Cals Burned: 2,356
Took the day off.. did a 20 min HIIT session with erratic intervals (3 min proved too ambitious) but amazing how I also sat in a movie theatre for 2 1/2 hours today and still easily surpassed my burn for an average day of work. I suspect the people that scream about not counting calories are the ones that aren't chained to a desk 40-50 hours a week..
Nutrition: 1,770 cals, 65.6 F, 171.3 C (40.1 F), 142.1 P
Lunch: Chicken sausages & peppers, QuestBar
Snack: GV + Banana + Casein Shake
Dinner: Asian Steak Wrap & Sweet Potato Fries
Ate out for dinner, pulled a best guess here. Knowing this motivated me to get out and burn a little extra via the HIIT though. Also had a couple chocolates for another 100 cals.
Also got a protein pumpkin (cheese)cake cooling.. tried to go mostly lactose free so it's more pumpkin pie than cheesecake this time around and upped the casein to compensate for some thickness. We'll see how it goes tomorrow!Last edited by RayD23; 04-10-2012 at 05:45 PM.

Sooo... a little protein pumpkin pie with a hint of cheese (from lactaid CC)... the full out cheesecake is definitely better. But this works, and shouldn't have any post-GI to deal with.Last edited by RayD23; 04-11-2012 at 04:45 PM.

My stomach seems to have tightened up a little this week after just 3 weights sessions, or maybe it's my imagination? If so, just in time since I may have a beach day on my hands this Sunday.

After the week I had, I'm thinking about scaling back IIFYM a little as far as allowance for dairy, glutens and sugar and maybe just allowing 1 day a week to get a small fix (but within macros).

Last night's HIIT not a good idea, back was achy last night into the afternoon today. So tonight's workout was about caution. I didn't even want to touch the 45 lb plates out of fear of screwing up my back getting them off the bottom rung of the weight rack. Sucks, but what can ya do.
In any case, forget Deads, I think even squats on Sat isn't looking realistic. If that's the case, I'll try to find a revised workout plan. In general there's gotta be a warning on DLs. I read articles and watched videos on form for 2 hours Fri night into Sat morning only to screw up my back in all of 10 seconds.

Still achy. Seems to have migrated a little higher up my back.. strangely, it's now almost similar to the pain I had when I first started using insoles in my shoes to fix the ITBS. Tomorrow's workout definitely modified. No squats. Will go with chin-ups, lat pull downs and find a leg exercise.Last edited by RayD23; 04-21-2012 at 10:22 AM.

No picture, but tried the Leanbodylifestyle SPP recipe and it was on point, except for a little overcooking. It's probably been a year since I've had pancakes and these didn't make me miss the real thing.
I think I mentioned that I picked up a "Rumble Roller" earlier in the week and whether it is that or just natural healing, the back is feeling MUCH better. I thought about Front Squats but realized after two warmup sets I couldn't get my elbows out and didn't want to cause a new problem. I may be ready to reintegrate LIGHT back squats next week and hopefully light jogging..?Last edited by RayD23; 04-28-2012 at 05:49 PM.

Cals Burned: 2,557 (proj.)
Spoke too soon, back ACHED this morning.. started to feel it shortly after last night's post. Argh.. Today's burn based on more housework since the p90x2 thing was basically just prolonged foam rolling. First time I actually did this "workout" and probably not the last, but definitely a once in awhile kind of deal.
Nutrition: 1,870 Cals, 86g F, 141g C (33g Fi, 44g S), 158g P
Lunch - Salmon Pinwheel and Sweet Potato Pancakes (had to.. thought I had snapped a pic but evidently lost in cyberspace), QB Apple Pie (fast becoming one of my favorite flavors)
Dinner - Santa Fe Steak Salad in Tortilla Bowl, GV + Trutein
I'm a huge fan of myfitnesspal after just a few days.. huge fan. iPhone scanning aside, just for the fact that I don't have to log in to the damn website or app every friggin time unlike fitday.
Not really sure what this week's plan is gonna be. My back is still real creaky ATM, which probably means keeping things light for awhile longer and no HIIT running. It drives me crazy thinking about that 1 last rep on the DLs that's put me in this spot!!Log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=142025031

Monday.. Shutting 'er down
Sleep: 5:55 / ??% s.e.
Bodymedia stopped registering a couple times last night so had to fill in the gaps
Workout: Rest
Cals Burned: 1,913
Didn't move around a whole lot today
Nutrition: 1,716 Cals, 74g F, 133g C (34g Fi, 64g S), 159g P
Lunch - Salad with chicken, veggies, QB PB Supreme, Banana, WCW
Dinner - Ground Buffalo, Arctic Zero + Almond Dream IC, GV + Trutein
Declarations of my recovery were premature. Worst pain yet today, so I'm going all rest this week. If I'm feeling up to it, will go for a midweek walk after work, but that is all. Will bench on Saturday if I'm pain free by midweek. Frustrated..Last edited by RayD23; 05-01-2012 at 05:42 PM.

From Adversity comes Opportunity...
My back is on the mend, a family member who is a doctor said it was just a bad strain based on no radiating pain in my legs or elsewhere.. thank God.
In any case, I'm taking it easy until this thing is kicked and I'm not sure I'm going to ever get back into DLs. In the meantime, I bought a juicer and am taking one foot out of the IIFYM wagon except for occasional "cheat" days. Felt an instant buzz and good mood after my first juice on Saturday. Today, I made cookies out of this afternoon's juice pulp. Not gonna lie, it wasn't pilsbury, but they were edible.
This is probably my last post in this journal unless this spur's sudden conversation.. you can find my daily nutrition on myfitnesspal under username RayD23 if interested.. and that is all.Log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=142025031
