    Sounds like it would be a good Pre WO food for you. They don't seem to have that effect on me in terms of instant energy, but they fit my macros, and I find them very satiating with the fiber and fat they include.

I only have my fridge freezer as well so I'm not as organized as I should be

    Off work and you still went in to train at 5am
    Got a great 90 mins training done though : )
    Yea reducing my carb intake has really helped me. Probably not for everyone, but I tend to eat that way anyway focusing on protein sources. Carbs just make me really hungry, even things like oatmeal, potatoes, etc. Likely something hormonal IDK. Yea I pretty much wake up around 3-3:30am no matter the day, so I prefer to just go in and get my session in when I know the gym will be relatively empty.

    197.0

    Decent day for heavy leg day I guess. I wasn't thrilled with squats the last rep of my work sets were pretty intense, but in reality I'm not down that far percentage wise considering the deficit. 365 (3x5) was a number I wanted to be able to maintain, but it is what it is, I'll just keep grinding away. Deadlifts felt on point today in terms of form, and the movement just feeling "right" everything firing as it should. Was happy to get some decent volume in those, although the last reps felt heavier than I'd like them to.

    196.8 Lbs

    Decent session made some progress on DB bench (1 rep), DB row (bumped 10lbs), pull-ups (reps), swapped in DB BHN triceps press for Skull crushers. I tried a set of seated DB shoulder presses, but didn't like the way they felt on my shoulder so I just did my current single arm landmine presses instead. Overall was happy with it, and obviously not losing much in the way of muscle yet despite the deficit. Maybe it was the result of the re-feed dream I had . Normally I never dream, or at least I don't remember them, but I woke up after having a very real seeming dream that I was just gorging myself on little frosted cinnamon rolls fresh out of the oven, I was just pounding them, cookie sheets of them were everywhere . I guess that counts as a cheat day / re-feed , It seemed so real I woke up like WTF did I just do .

    196.8 lbs

    Clock punched for legs/biceps. I think I lost a versa grip. Luckily one of the few females who trains in the morning actually lifts, and was asking me about them a week or so ago when I was Deadlifting and bought some for herself since grip was her limiting factor. She let me borrow hers for my heavy sets of RDLs. Nothing like rockin small pink versa grips....JK they were red, and I will likely order the small/med since they seemed to fit better than my L/XL did. Pisses me off though, $55 down the drain unless I can find it at home. Overall it was a decent session.

    195.6 lbs

    There’s some scale movement, although I did weigh a little later than normal and was pretty thirsty. It was looking like I’d only be around a 1lb loss for the week, but typically that would be followed by a bigger drop next week. I have been a little more hungry the last week or so, not sure if that’s from running my protein up a little higher (or because I’m in a steep deficit )....Not miserable hunger though like I typically get when dieting and including more carbs. I have room to adjust calories up if I want to, but I shouldn’t be losing much muscle right now, so faster is more funner .

    Ordered some new grip aids yesterday, couldn’t find the missing versa grip. They are “cobra grips” seemed to be preferred over versa grips in the Amazon reviews and were $30 cheaper so I’ll give those a try. They appear to be high quality with lots of reviews. I did have a pair of knock off versa grips before buying the real ones, and one tore in half on a 500lb pull, thats hard on floors and could be bad for shins. Luckily it ripped before I was above the knee, but it made some noise.

    Wife has Girl Scout cookie booth with daughter, then both kids are going to a bday party so I’ll be solo with the dog for a few hours and probably grab a nap. I’ll probably go get some cardio in this morning, I’d like to do that 2X per week at least. I’d prefer to get more walking in at work, but I continue to be stuck with a lot of desk jockey stuff. Should probably delegate some of that stuff down, but meh sometimes it’s just easier to do it, than to explain it, follow up on it, then likely have to fix it.....

    Cardio incline treadmill

    195.6 lbs

    Numbers for the week are decent, average weight for the week ended up at 196.5 lbs for a loss of 1.6 lbs from last weeks average weight of 198.1 lbs, on an average daily intake of 2050 cals indicating my TDEE is still in the 2800 range. Should be around 190 by the end of March. Not sure how far I’ll go this year, but I have plenty of time to end up pretty lean by summer. I’m really looking forward to seeing how performance and satiation are closer to maintenance calories on keto. Usually maintaining leanness with carbs is a struggle for me, my hunger never seems inline with calorie needs. Seems like it will be easy to maintain judging by the relative ease of getting by on deficit calories.

    No big plans today, built a rifle yesterday because I had parts that needed assembled, turned out good. Super windy here today, sounds like the windows are going to blow in, so probably not much to do outside. It’s going to be in the 60s Mon-Wed though which will be awesome. Hopefully the deer start losing their antlers soon, my dog has chewed up all of his deer antlers, he loves them, hopefully he can help find them when the deer start dropping them.

    M1 7:45am
    3 eggs, 6oz ham
    500 cals / 48g pro /29g fat (47 unaccounted cals per label macros) probably from the glaze I don’t put on the ham

    M4 5:45pm (1900c/219p/100f)

    Would be cool to see you using 'pink' versas all the same .... still able to smash out the volume Tim and not too shabby when you follow up with heavy RDLs and super-heavy leg presses
    Not too much of a drop in numbers, but still enough to irritate me . The cinnamon roll dream was a good dream, placebo gains FTW. The girl that let me borrow her versa grips actually found mine sitting on a machine and gave it back to me today. I already ordered and received the Cobra grips (which are very nice BTW) but are thick leather instead of the versa grip kind of rubbery texture. Was glad to get my stinky old versa grip back, I'll keep the others as spares I guess...

    Starting the week one lb down from last weeks avg should put me in a good spot for scale movement. Pretty good session, gained a rep on bench, bumped rows 10lbs for work sets, dips feeling good, everything felt pretty on point and I worked hard.

    194.4 Lbs

    Put in the hard work today and made a little progress on squats, and a little backwards progress on deads....progress either way . I just wasn't in the mind set for heavy pulling, reps felt good initially, but the bar got a little forward on the second rep of 455 (wanted 3 good ones) and it made me work to LO. Pulled some 4" deficits after for some extra punishment for being weak. overall though, can't complain. Lighter and working hard. Actually bought medium UA loose fit shirts the other day and my 34" waist pants are looking clownish in the waist (they are normally loose enough for concealed carry IWB, but they are just kinda silly now, so might need to pick up some 32" waist which should still be plenty big in the waist for CC. Lifting belt is getting really close to needing a new hole, having trouble utilizing it without a sweatshirt on..... Making progress, abs are getting more defined, veins coming in despite being flat as a pancake from no carbs. Although deadlifts today made me want to say fuk it all and just eat and deadlift, but that's not the plan right now....

    194.2 Lbs

    Hit the gym for heart health day, and did some ab work I missed yesterday due to some lady just laying on the decline ab bench like it was an inversion table, just laying there doing some weird breathing thing, exhaling and blowing her hands away from her face thought she might have been stroking out, but apparently not....Did a variety of shoulder rehab too - face pulls, external rotations, etc...Was good, worked up a good sweat and smelled like a bottle of nail polish remover....Winning

    Also picked up some 32" waist pants yesterday. Tried them on last night, fine in the waist but looked painted on my legs and ass, not the look I'm going for, so apparently I will need to look into a different brand than Levis 514 or whatever they were. I think Lucky brand have a decent amount of leg room to waist ratio. Otherwise I will just continue to wear my 34" waist and walk around with my belt pulling them together in the front and a bulge that would make John Holmes jealous

    Going to have to return the medium UA loose fit shirts, no way am I cramming myself into those, will return and buy more larges or more smaller waist jeans. I find it odd that at a heavier weight my waist is smaller this time around, although my abs are not as defined in regard to waist size. I think its mostly related to the lack of carbs.
    Pretty good session, made some progress and felt good. This session is my favorite of the week currently, really enjoy the exercises and the layout.

    Getting hyoogely smaller . Was not in the mood for volume squats today . Felt like a de-load just dropping a few reps though, so I rolled with it...

    Not a great night sleep last night, the dog is a bed hog and thinks I want him to cuddle me and tries to sleep on my legs, when he's not jumping on and off the bed. I don't want him on the bed but he's stubborn, and just waits until I'm asleep to jump up. Can't lock him out of the room or he brings a big rawhide bone or his toys just outside of the door and just picks them up and drops them loudly on the hardwood until I open the door to strangle him then he prances in . Kind of a clock punch session today, dropped down to sets of 5 on squats because I just didn't have the sets of 8 in me today, although they did start feeling better on the last set, so I worked up to a 385 single just to feel it. Felt good on my back, was not an easy rep though, probably still do 405 though, working up with that in mind...Put in the reps this morning now I'll put in the work on the diet side of things and keep on trucking along....

    Cruising along, due for another drop here soon, been kind of stuck in that mid 194 range for a week. I'm guessing this week will be a smaller loss since last week was a little more than expected.


    Monday 3/5/18
    194.8 Lol wut.

    Little uptick on the scale, should be followed by a decent drop in the next day or so as per usual. Left shoulder was a little cranky today, and I probably should have throttled back a little bit, but I didn't. I will see how it feels on Thursday and might take a week or two of higher rep schemes and lighter weights just to make sure I don't set myself back by re-injuring it. I am pretty much at RPE9+ on my last rep of Bench right now, and it might be a good play anyway to take a week working in the 8-12 rep range. Will play it by feel...Lost a rep on my second work set of bench today, but was mostly out of caution. Overall it was an okay session, put in the work.

    Yea the weight is falling off and I’m finding it pretty easy to manage the deficit without being irritable and feeling like I’m ready to snap from hunger. I usually feel like that at maintenance or even a small surplus. Good stuff.

    Tuesday 3/6/18
    192.6 lbs

    There’s the scale drop that was eluding me for a week. It will probably bounce back up slightly which is just normally the way it works for me. I have an all day conference to attend today, which isn’t ideal for my eating plan since a fancy lunch will be served. Luckily my food volume is really low on “keto like diet” so a shake and a few small Tupperware’s in a cooler bag will suffice. I’ll decide on lunch there depending on what they have. If it’s meat I might eat some and just eyeball portions (not my best talent, I generally tend to underestimate since 5-6oz of meat doesn’t look like much). The food I packed is pre measured.

    Just going to take today by feel, I forgot my logbook and workout sheets at my office, but pretty much know the plan. L Shoulder is pretty sore today, will likely take a step or two back on pressing intensity for a week or two and focus on TUT type movements to let it rest a little. Squats and deads today. Yay...

    5:05-6:15am /70min /31 sets

    Yikes, bad day in the gym. I haven’t slept great the last couple days and I’m probably due for a deload at least for heavy stuff. 345 made my shoulder hurt a little from getting tight, but even the 315 sets I dropped down to felt like work. Deads sucked as well, as they always do after squats. I’ll see what happens over the next week or two and it might be time to adjust some things if lifts start tanking. I can gain strength back pretty easily with more food, so I’m not worried about that, but I’d like to avoid losing LBM. I have options, I can try like some pre Wo carbs, or just increasing calories on keto like diet, etc. I’ll think about it. Could have just been a bad day, so I won’t make any drastic changes just yet. But it’s getting closer to where I should slow it down a little if it doesn’t on its own.

    Yeah the food there sucks anyway.

    I'm also doing a keto cut. Gotta say it's the most successful one I've done in a pretty long time.

    Lol yea not enough protein

    That has been my experience so far as well. I have never dropped fat this easily. Today was a little concerning but could have been just a bad day. The fat is just falling off of me though. Abs are getting more defined and it’s still winter here. I always look best coming out of a deficit and I’ll definitely be ready by early summer. I’m sure it’s not an ideal plan for everyone to eat this way, but for me it almost makes me feel what a normal person should feel like in a deficit instead of constantly ravenous and crabby. The mental benefits are nice as well. I feel mentally sharper and more energetic overall.

    191.8

    A little dry today, didn’t drink as much water yesterday at the conference/trade show. It was good though, some good continuing education classes, lots of walking around, and got a ton of free promotional junk for the kids. They seem to look forward to all the free trinkets I bring home more than Christmas. I’ll see what the scale does the rest of the week. At the point now where I can see changes almost daily. Probably going to increase my calories a little to slow this down some if this loss rate continues. Starting to feel small, which is a normal brain fuk I get when getting leaner, but like seeing the definition coming in everywhere.

    The plan today is some cardio and shoulder mobility and rehab. It’s still pretty sore certainly don’t need to increase my deficit with the cardio, but want to keep at it for cardiovascular benefits. Plus at this point I can pretty much just float above the treadmill .

    Felt good, better sleep last night, locked the dog out of the room he eventually gave up trying to get in and slept on the couch. That will be his new spot going forward.

    Cardio incline treadmill
    60 Min / 4.15 mi / 700 cals

    Shoudler rehab
    8 sets or so rear delt machine and face pulls from various angles

    M1 7:00am 45g whey, 30g milled flax, 15g powder greens, multis & fishoil
    375 Cals / 43g pro / 16g fat

    M2 9:00am (950c/90p/56f)
    5oz roasted lean beef stew meat, 2.8oz olive oil veg mix, 2oz avocado
    575 Cals / 47g pro / 40f

    * Shoulder is feeling a lot better, I used the vibrating back massager thing I impulse bought a while back, looks like a giant sex toy or something , but seemed to give almost instant relief and nearly pain free ROM after working over my left scapula, trap and shoulder blade. Hopefully it just needed some knots worked out or something IDK, will take it by feel tomorrow on presses...

    M3 1:00pm (1425c/136p/83f)
    4.5oz spinach, 6oz grilled spicy chkn thighs, 1.4oz olive oil veg, 45ml seasoned vinegar dressing.

    Thursday 3/8/18
    191.8 Lbs (Really surprised that scale weight "stuck")

    Okay gym session. I didn't grind any DB bench reps to protect the shoulder and also just did light landmine presses to just slowly work through that pressing motion. I noticed that BTN DB tricep presses were aggravating the shoulder when I got up to working weights and that was a new movement in the routine, so I swapped back to skull crushers today for a couple sets and will keep the BTN presses out. Bumped weighted pull-ups a dime and worked nice full ROM sets of 6 reps will build these reps. It was okay overall nothing mind blowing.

    I feel like I should be leaner at this bodyweight, but then I have to remind myself that I am kind of at a falsely lower bodyweight since I know that I would likely gain about 6lbs and fill out with carbs, and I have never dieted with carbs this low. I plan to keep trucking along with this and maybe eventually do a carb up and drop my fats for a day hit protein and hit 300g or so of carbs and see how I fill out. I won't even bother doing this Until I'm in the 180s though, and I have no desire for a cheat meal or anything else at this point. I am making some minor dietary adjustments, and will probably bring my calories up just a little bit, but remain on "keto like diet" with higher protein and fats and very low net carb, because its working well for me...

    Got a walk in around lunchtime today to look for deer antlers for the dog to chew on. Didn’t find any antlers but when I kicked up the deer herd, none were wearing any so they must have dropped them. I’ll be getting out on more “walks” until I thoroughly cover the areas this herd hangs out. Pretty slow pace, but mixed terrain.

    Scared a coyote about out of his fur, he was sleeping on a hillside, and I snuck up pretty close before he woke up pretty much at a full sprint . It looked like he covered about 75 yards before his feet touched the ground. He will be sleeping with one eye open for awhile.

    45min / about 2.5 miles according to phone.

    Idk what your shoulder issue is, but I'd suggest checking out some info by John Rusin. He specializes in pain free lifting, and has some really useful tips including stuff for keeping shoulders nice and healthy. He advocates doing a lot of work on rear delts (lots of rows, face pulls, band pull aparts etc). Definitely helps for me.

    I’m not real sure what the issue is either. It seems like bursitis and maybe some impingement, based on what I’ve read, but I haven’t got it checked out. It started hurting out of nowhere last year around Easter. My wife and kids flew to AZ for 10 days to visit some family and I stayed home because we just got the puppy. I ended up doing a big landscaping project out of boredom and it started hurting after that. Never had any bruising or anything so I don’t think I tore anything. It’s a little crunchy though and makes some noise maybe a bone spur too idk.

    I wouldn’t do any surgery at this point, and it started feeling really good doing the rehab stuff you listed above (ironically it also started rapidly improving when I started keto). I need to keep up on the rehab. It’s easy to get lazy with that stuff when it starts feeling better. I’ll check out that guys info. I try to do facepulls, rear Delt machine, and external rotations at least 1X per week, but should probably do more.

    I’ve also noticed just recently that hammering my shoulder blade, muscles around my scapula and that area with an heavy duty electric massager seems to “release it” and allow me to lift that arm laterally pain free. I just crank the back massager thing up and lean against it in my office chair and it’s almost like a deep tissue massage. Hurts while doing it but feels great right after.

    I try to balance my pressing and pulling, but rear delts are easy to underwork for sure. I don’t like to “waste” time in the gym by backing off, so a lot of times that’s detrimental too, and likely increases the recovery time for minor injuries that pop up. I think I went a year with tennis elbow before it finally subsided a couple years ago, SMH....

    Thanks Scott! The fat loss is the main progress to me, when I get going it builds momentum in the gym to some extent, especially as I start really seeing the progress. I'm not really making new progress on weights, anything that is increasing is just regaining lost ground from last year being pretty abysmal due to the shoulder etc.

    Yepper, enroute to manlet status, one week at a time. I have to live vicariously through your lifts That 495x3 was insane. I think Ive done 495x2 as my best in a session, but it was actually two singles Your a deadlifting machine. Its awesome not being starving, amazing actually. I went to bed last night without even a twinge of hunger at 2300 cals (a high cal day lately ) and felt great in the gym today.

    Woke up kinda early (for me) today, but felt like a million bucks in the gym. Slightly higher cals yesterday, just felt stronger by a wide margin. Squats were great, 315x8 was easier than the sets of 5 on Tuesday which made me feel all warm and fuzzy...Everything went well and felt great. I was tempted to throw some weight on the bar after my planned work sets on squats, but then just decided to end on a positive of feeling good about hitting my desired reps. Have to go get beat on at a meeting in a bit, but feeling like I can take on the world right now....

    Saturday 3/10/18
    192.8 lbs

    The plan today is some shopping, maybe some cardio/shoulder rehab, walking in a St. Patrick’s Day parade for my daughter’s Girl Scouts, and probably some grilling/food prep. Need to hit Sams club on the platinum status early open hours for some spinach, mushrooms, check on meat deals, maybe grab a salmon, then perhaps to the gym. I’d rather go walk the woods and let the dog try to sniff out some deer antlers to chew on, but it’s going to be pretty cold until late morning and I’m kinda done with winter temps at this point.
    Have a big package of chkn thighs soaking in Franks red hot, and those will go on the grill later, and some really good looking sirloin steaks thawing out that will probably get dry rub and broiled. Probably try to squeeze a 40 min nap in the day somewhere if I can fit it, look forward to that opportunity all week . We change the clocks tonight an hour ahead, which is like waking up at 2-2:30am initially, takes some getting used to.

    Did lots of shoulder rehab, face pulls, rear delt machine etc. didn’t do much cardio, I’ll get some walking in later and was getting pretty hungry.

    M1 8:30am
    8oz top sirloin steak, 2 eggs over easy
    525 cals / 58g Pro / 30g fat

    M2 11:30am (1075c/104p/64f)
    4.5oz spinach, 6oz grilled spicy chkn thighs, 2.8oz olive oil veg, 45ml seasoned vinegar dressing.
    550 / 46g pro / 34g fat

    * 3mi paddy’s day parade walk

    M3A 2:45pm (1500c/159p/84f)
    6oz chkn b, 3oz avocado
    425 cals / 55g pro/ 20g fat

    M3B 4:00 (1700c/168p/100f)
    Pork rinds / olive oil veg

    M4 5:45pm (2350c/228p/138f)

    Sunday 3/11/18
    193.6 lbs

    A bit of a jump on the scale today, could be from higher sodium yesterday from added salt to foods, or just a normal uptick before another drop. Numbers for the week ended up about where I want them to be, even though the last two days scale weight skewed them up a little. Average scale weight for the week was 192.8lbs for a loss of 1.7 lbs at an average daily intake of 2200 cals/day. This suggests my TDEE is still really high for me at around 3000 cals/day...Crazy.

    I didn’t get around to bulk cooking yesterday, so will need to do that today. Think I’ll throw a lean roast in the crockpot now, steaks will go in broiler later and I’ll grill the chkn thighs midday. Dailight savings time starts so I lost an hour of my precious weekend the time should adjust forward an hour on Monday at noon or something....

    Might try to get some cardio in this morning since walking at parade pace yesterday didn’t elevate my heart rate any. I’ll probably miss the next two Wed morning due to some planned OT early starts at work.

    192.4 Lbs.

    Backed off a little in the gym today on intensity, and overall volume to let the L shoulder get a little more rest, its been sore and I think its partially due to pushing so hard on BB bench. So I didn't do any overload sets, and worked higher rep ranges and just touched one set at my current working weight at the end. Overall it was decent, pretty much a clock punch session, but put in the work.

    190.6 lbs.

    Pretty much same weight trend as last week with a Wed drop on the scale. I’m up extra early for a very long work day, but I’ll bank some comp time on the books and keep building that up for when the weather finally cooperates so I can do something. Won’t get a gym session in today, but will try to get another walk in.

    Dog was thrilled I found him a deer antler yesterday. He only put it down to eat dinner, set it next to his food bowl . The buck in the vid was a big 12 point, hopefully if I keep following the deer trails and checking the bedding areas I’ll find him a big antler instead of the little pring horn I found yesterday.

    I’m kind of hungry this morning, hopefully coffee will turn that down a notch. I’ll probably swap my normal morning shake for solid food today in hopes of a little longer satiation for the calories.

    192.0 lbs

    Scale bumped back up from yesterday, I thought yesterday seemed a bit on the low, but I looked a little watery today, so perhaps I will be seeing a true 190 soon. Short term goal is I would like to be 185 by May 1st. That seems like a reasonable loss rate, on the low end really and I could very well exceed that, but that is the minimum Id like to achieve. I will not be concerned with muscle loss as long as I can train hard and don't see lifts start to tank. To me that is a primary indicator that something is "off" (poor recovery, calories too low etc) and muscle loss could become a risk. So far numbers are not looking promising for much more than a 1lb loss this week, but that's okay, that could be made up the following week and progress is being made.

    I felt pretty good about the session, I made some minor tweaks and will only do landmine shoulder press 1X per week and Dips 2X per week. Might swap in a different row variant next week for DB rows, I can't bump the weight on the Oly handle unless I go to 155 and that would be too much. I wish the gym had a chest supported row machine, I'd like to keep my lower back out of my row movement on Thursday for lower back recovery between squats and deads on Tuesday and squats and RDLs on Friday...Maybe some landmine rows, cable rows, or use an incline bench as a makeshift chest supported row variant with a barbell IDK...

    Shoulder was a little cranky initially, but seemed okay after I got going. Touched the end of the DB rack for a couple trial sets with the 100s, all reps slow and controlled. Might just go ahead and bring those into the mix soon and keep my BB bench days a little higher rep since the DBs seem a bit more shoulder friendly. Grabbed an extra couple reps on weighted pull-ups, but was struggling to match reps on the last sets, just where I want to be...
