300 .. the magic number

 Ha!  Back in the day, that was all about Bench Presses..... damned, those were the days... I'd warm up with 225 with 12-15 reps like it was nothing.. then ... work up to 300 with slow movements... but... those days are long gone.

300 now.. I think of bodyweight.   Remember that 300 bench?  Yeah.. I weighed like 235 when I was throwing those around.  300 now is my fucking weight.  Hey ...  could be worse .. I've broke 330 the last few years, and it's ugly.   This morning, weighed in a 300.5 ...  1/2 lb from that magical number that starts with a '2' .. grrrr.  Maybe tomorrow?  For sure by Wednesday.    Wife just asked me what the big deal was when I mentioned this...  hmmmmmmmmmmm  .. B E C A U S E!

I'm still not in the gym since my ticker issues popped up last month.   Maybe Monday I'll roll in depending how I feel.  But, alcohol intake is minimal.  Food calories are down.   Starting to finally get some good sleep.   So, 299 is just around the corner... .. it's just a number but ... then, 290.   Then 280, then.....   my goal is 275 and will evaluate from there.  Hopefully at that point my pants are down a waist size... maybe two?

    Three days in a row at 300.5 So, I know it's 'real' . Now just need to break through it!

      I'm fighting the 245 plateau. I know I'm putting on muscle because my 36" pants are getting slightly loose but I still can't fit in my 34" loose jeans. Hopefully this upcoming trip doesn't set me too far 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...
