I always have trouble getting back into a rhythm again after I go on a vacation. Even the short trip I took back the 1st week of July made it tough for me to get back on track again.

Sometimes you just have to force yourself to do everything you know you need to do and rely on willpower solely for a few days to get back on track.

Once you do that, finding your groove again is usually pretty easy.

Did 30 mins elliptical today! For someone who doesn't do cardio that's a big burn!

Thanks! (You're still on spread, damn it)

Gym parking lot ready to blast upper body followed by cardio

**Bluedawgs4** · 08-09-2014, 01:03 PM

Full body workout today... out of the way. I might do 30minutes of liss this evening. Tomorrow will be 30 minutes of jump rope interval training. Monday will start week two of Insanity Live at the gym. Keep on keeping on! Take it one day at a time.

**connmcd2** · 08-09-2014, 01:30 PM

Weighing in at 262.8 for the week. 3 pound loss for the week. Not too bad after spending the week in Memphis for work and eating barbecue or fried chicken every night.

Had an entire Domino's medium pan pizza. Wasn't even good. Only meal of the day though. 2800 cals so bit of a cheat day, usually taking in 2200. Won't repeat.

Hey man gotta have that cheat pizza every now and then lol. Long as ya don't let it throw you off your routine it's all good.

Vacationing with family so I went a little over.

The thing is I don't put in calories burned because there is no way to calculate it but I did 30 mins of (pretty intense I'd say) elliptical and walked for at least 5 miles if not more. For someone like me (254 pounds) that should be at least 200 Kcal burned right? That's how much I went over by so wondering if I covered it up with my cardio.

Definitely covered those 200 calories. I don't count exercise calories personally, so no idea how much ya actually did though :/

Thanks I was wondering it did as well. Tonight I'm going to do thirty minutes of elliptical again. I wont let this day be "another one". Surely I must've burned enough by then...

You're way over those 200 calories dude, no doubt about it. Can't hurt to do more though if you have the energy/time.

Dont feel bad I just binged on a lot of ice cream. And it wasnt worth it either. Oh well back on the horse.

**Claaaaaaay** · 08-09-2014, 05:09 PM

Just ran 4.5 miles and lifted uppers. Feeling like a king.

**cakesandcream** · 08-09-2014, 06:05 PM

It's weird. After I do cardio I'm really lethargic but if I lift after cardio I get back into energy and get this pump.

I had 2 of those yesterday. It wasnt even good but I keep on coming back...

**WuchiCasey** · 08-09-2014, 07:16 PM

I ate about 3400 cals today. I thought I was going to work a 16 hr shift but it ended up being a 12 hours as a nursing assistant in a retirement home. I probably ate to my tdee for this day so I am not really sweating it. Im treating it as a Refeed day as I was feeling depleted. Back to the grindstone tomorow

**birdlegs** · 08-09-2014, 07:52 PM

uh oh, mexican food and several margeritas with the wife. Oh well, I will kick ass all week to make up for it.

**Gilly28** · 08-09-2014, 10:19 PM

Hey Nate, can you throw a link to the spreadsheet into the first post when you're around, that'd be excellent

You can't edit a post after more than 36-48 hours I believe (not sure on exact time).

Yeah I think that's accurate :/

I can post the link once a day just to keep it fairly fresh in the thread...then again we're using the same spreadsheet so you could probably just bookmark it.

**cakesandcream** · 08-10-2014, 05:06 AM

Planning on some more super cardio today. I hate it but I love it!

Your Total Calorie Burn/Mile When Running = .75 x your weight (in lbs.) x # of miles run
Your Net Calorie Burn/Mile When Running = .63 x your weight x # of miles run

Your Total Calorie Burn/Mile When Walking = .53 x your weight x # of miles walked
Your Net Calorie Burn/Mile When Running = .30 x your weight x # of miles walked

Net calorie burn subtracts your BMR, the calories you would've burned anyway. So if you're 254 lbs, you're burning 76 calories per mile you walk, vs 160 calories per mile that you run.

Thanks! Looks like some nice formulae

Well, I ordered two to use some coupon too. Second one went in the garbage.

**LOU A VILLE** · 08-10-2014, 08:49 AM

Super hungover today, time to get back at it.

**baffledgenius** · 08-10-2014, 08:55 AM

Yay! Yesterday was the first day I didnt cheat at all on my macros. Didnt eat out late at night and kill my calories, didnt give in and buy a bunch of chocolate...just really focused on getting my protein instead. So yep, im feeling good :-)

So I should strap a hundred pounds on my back and go running, eh? (not serious)

Dat chocolate is the big weakness huh? nice job!

On a side note, I really wanna do a strong day of IF and go to Friday's for their endless appetizers with just boneless buffalo wings. Sounds sooooooo gooooood. And without any dipping sauces only 730 calories per plate...2200 calories for 3 plates of boneless wings.
