Jeff finally loses 40lbs and doesn't lose strength challenge. - Page 59

I'm going to keep up the accountability. The wife and I had a long talk about the whole calories in calories out thing. She was like if it works then why arent you losing weight? I said because I binge for no reason.

-8 would be huge.

That's pretty sick bro. I couldn't do that. I am not sure how many could in this forum. That's babyweights for some but a bunch would just pass out.

Lets see here. Getting stronger. Losing weight. Getting better cardiovascular health. In the hypertrophy range. Check. Check. Check. Check!!!!

Fack SS. This man chose appropriate training.

Got some bloodwork done two days ago. Finally have some thing to compare it to. Got my first bloodwork when I was 245. Cholesterol is down from 208 to 185, which is awesome. My HDL and LDL are both moving in the right direction as well. Good news all around.

Okay I've been really lame lately with sticking to my diet. It's been "okay" not awful but not what it should be. Here's the goal. We have 6.5 weeks left in 2013. My bmr is 2800 and I should be eating 2000. If I stick to my calories I should lose 10.4 pounds. I'm going for 8 pounds. EIGHT ****ING POUNDS by the end of the year. If I fail I have no one to blame but myself.

I'm no expert, but the lifting sounds impressive.

If grazing is a problem, why not restrict when you eat to say three meals and two snacks a day? Eating a carb snack creates the urge to eat another carb snack IMO. Also I find I don't feel so much like grazing when I eat plenty of protein for my main meals.

The lifting is tough that's for sure. Impressive remains to be seen.

As far as the snacks go. I think limiting them is a good idea.

Weigh in

Original - 222.4
Now - 225.8

Honestly this seems high, because I feel like I did when I weighed 223ish. Oh well back on the horse if I'm going to be 215 by new years.

Lots of WIM today.

Skipped Monday because family was in town. Beat myself up about it. Made up for it today. Lisa combined the most important stuff from Monday and Wednesday into today.

Hbbs
4x10x200 PR!
Each set took quite a long time. Got more determined to finish every set. Last set probably took two minutes. Grind city. Wrecked.

Bench
3x10x125 PR!
Second set I almost failed on the tenth rep. Really wanted to finish all reps so I got a spotter Lolz spotter at 125. I grinded through it.

Seated dumbbell press
30's x 12, 10, 7
Ruined at this point, tried to do leg press said **** that. Happy.
