Leg Days are Back!

 Man .... I remember back in the day how I hated squats.  Then read an article on how pretty much EVERYONE does, but if you want to grow, learn to love it!   So, I began lying to myself about it all, making myself believe I LOVED leg days.. and you know what. I eventually did. To the point I could barely walk out of a gym.  Of course, I eventually fucked up and blew out my back, but that was due to bad form.

Well, slowly getting back into it.  Legs for years has been an afterthought. Now, I'm dedicating an entire workout solely for them.  No Squats, but doing hack-squats to keep all stress off the lower back. Then some extensions, curls and calves.

Good Times are Back!

I can almost see the goal line.....

 We're back from Vaca' with the daughter... and a week + away from the scale.  Got on it a lil nervous this morning .. and .. BAM .. under 290.   About a 2 lb weight loss while gone.   Overall ate pretty good, but I snacked in the mornings when I normally don't.  Had a stupid amount of B'day cake and got into a sugar rush a few days ago!   Still.... felt pretty good.  Clothes fit good.. but .. you never know? One lil thing that probably helped is for a couple of reasons, no alcohol the last week or so.  Trying to figure out what messes with me riding sometimes and ... my daughter doesn't partake, so .... I abstained.  No doubt that helped with the weight loss a lil? Back in the bodybuilding days, I stayed away from alcohol for up to 90 days while getting ready for a contest.  So....   that plan may play into this a lil bit over the next sixty days. I'll do whatever it takes to hit 275. But .. as I said before.. I...

Finally .. down a size

 Finally .. down a size. Man ... didn't think I'd ever get to this point!  Well, actually thought I would have sooner.. but...... slllllllooooooooow going.  Well, finally back into the shirts I should be wearing.  The 3XLs are falling off me.  The 2XLs feel great.  Today picked up two pair of pants for the wedding a size down which is what I was shooting for. After the wedding I crank up the protein and build up the good stuff, and continue to trim down the belly.  Still have one more pants size to go.... Progress p.s.  Still a few pounds from 'betting' weight.  Might have to do some stupid stuff in the coming weeks.

Chewed off more than I bargained for

Made that bet as few weeks ago.  Yes, alcohol was involved.  I made it based on I was just at 308, and 275 seemed 'close'.  But, I was having some swelling issues and had ballooned up well over 330, so figured I'd get that under control and ...   easy peasy.  Hmmmmmm. Not. Well, I did get it (swelling) under control.  Feel great. Saw the Doc earlier this week and left with flying colors.  Even a reduction in medicine dosages.  But ......   my weight isn't what I'd expected.  As I type this I"m a notch under 319, but feel great.  I've been dropping a pound a day, but it's not realistic to think I'll keep that up.. so .. what to do.  I could do this via KETO simply, but I don't believe it's a long term solution.  Besides, always seems like 5% of that loss is always water and comes back the minute you have some delicious  carbs!  There's the old fashioned method I used during my bodybuilding days. Work you...
