more like mission abandoned

I'm with g here. I got so tired of not eating anything for weeks at a time, I just couldn't take it. The target weight of 180 lbs was met with 178 lbs at my lightest. I am know properly broken down and I am ready to start lifting heavy. I did overeat a tad at glenns the other night, but I learned from that. I am only interested in putting the healthiest things in my body to keep the lard off m'mid section.

Tonight I had a tuna sandwich from subway with spicy mustard. I ate half a ft long, and plan on eating the other half a few hours from now. I am so ready to be back in the gym and lifting heavy I can't stand it. I am ready to hit the rock sides with you lads as well. Maybe one day soon we can plan a trip to see cody, after we go to red river and to the coast as well!

Peace

T-minus 7 1/2 days

Well, lets see... At work, I'm down to 182. That puts me in at officially 14 pounds under what I began with. I'm vur excited, although my results seem bittersweet because you two haven't had the same results. As I've said before, I do think its because you two are losing inches and not as much poundage.

I am super stoked about 7 days to go though. My cravings have been getting bad. I've wanted to eat everything in site. Hotdogs, cheese, small children.. yea its getting bad.

On a different note, I have some good news as to my job. Well, not this job I currently reside in, but nursing in general. I'm going to start working perdiem after a while. I could work 2 days a week for an agency and get what I am making now. How bout that... thats awesome I think... more room for trips to NM, or the coast, or wherever for whatever. Well... one week to go. Been a fun trip lads.

"No, I am a uh.. meat popsicle."

So, I gorged m'self once again on the fruits of someone else's labors!! hahaha Pops cooked some t-bone, asparagus, mushrooms, and sweet potatoes. I whipped up a signature dish of G's of sliced tomatoes with feta, olive oil, black pepper and basil. I also sliced up some kiwi which was... scrumtrulescent shall I say! I don't think I've ever been this excited about food in my life.

I've just finished reading another chapter in The Shack (good book by the way G), and I also had two cups of hot chamomille and mint. yummy. And I am now on the way to bed. I love you all.. only another "fortnight" to go fellers. See you on the flip side of the skinny donut!

(measurements and pics tomorrow perhaps?)

14 days out

ok, i have zero energy. My mom and wife say I am skinny. Mom says that I should stop. I'm not going to because I now its because we haven't eaten any fat in like two weeks. I'm gonna go make a shake now too.

Lets see... sandy bought a dress this weekend. It looks nice. More later when I am more awake!!! hahaha

just bout haffweigh

Well lads, as we approach the halfway mark, I have a story to share. We went to Dallas yesterday for t'wifes appt. We stopped by our friends andy and jenny's house and went to dinner. This was quite possibly the hardest task I have faced to date. The restaurant was a place called Sweet Tomatoes. It was a salad bar the size of Rhode Island. Chicken Tarragon, Broccoli salad, chicken salad, spinach, beets, jicama, bread and butter pickles, carrots, feta, blue cheese, spiral noodles, the list goes on and on... I sat there with my diet dr pepper. arghh... I want a two handed bastard sword to carry around to stab people with when they say "Would you like a bite?" Yes I would just second... **STAB** thank you

Well to date, according to the Wii, I have lost 5 lbs. I started at 186, and this afternoon I weighed 181. But the scale at work last week said that I was at 185. Thats 9 lbs. I'm going to weigh again tonight and see what the scale at work says. I need to do measurements again to see if my body has shrinked to the size of my calves! haha

Resist the cravings lads. We wil finish this.

Day 8

health solid meal today!! healthy solid meal today!! Healthy solid meal today!! healthy solid meal today!!

As you can tell I'm a little excited about this. Still don't know what I am going to have. I'll probably be eating at glenn's today sometime. See you for the V-Burn about 3ish I guess.

Day 7... the aroma diet

Im sitting here at work.. cravings and all. My cohorts here at work just picked up MoMallees... burgers, fries, rye bread... and it smells like heaven dipped in honey and cinammon. I am going to gorge m'self on broccoli and cauliflower tomorrow at G's house.

Well, the diet is going well. To date, since I didn't weigh last week, I have lost 9 lbs. I'm going to get glenn to measure me tomorrow since I'm at work tonight. I'm feeling pretty good too. My skin has become a little less dry from all this water I'm drinking. Although I feel like im on lasix as well. Well, until tomorrow with the HSM!!! heck yea

And one more round of applause for G for dropping the BP to a substrastospheric level!! hoorah

Dia Seis

Ok, so last night was rough. Not so much for hunger, while that was an issue, but more so for sleep. I was so tired about 4 am, I was doing the head bob thing. It was quite funny. Hank was laughing at me. I think the shakes went well though. I wasn't that hungry. I do miss having the blender, but hey, maybe I'll just eat the 2 tablespoons of PB tonight instead of shaking it up. Plus it didn't taste too good with the strawberry! haha.

On another note, I had some labwork drawn. I wanted to look at this diet with a scientific eye as well. I had a lipid panel done last night, which I've always wanted to do because of the zero family history I have. Here were the results.


Lab Value Range
Cholesterol 126 133-199
Triglycerides 53 30-200
HDL Cholesterol 38 30-65
LDL Cholesterol 76 60-100
VLDL 10.6 5.0-35.0
Risk Factor 3.32 0.00-5.00
Men CHD Risk 3.4 = <1/2 avg risk

So not knowing alot about what some of this means other than face value, I looked some of this up. Here is LDL Here is HDL
So I think all in all I'm pretty healthy. I'm going to post measurements and weight on saturday, but I'm going to wait to post the lipid panel until we are done with the diet. I don't like needles that much! hahah

Stay focused brothers! This is nothing!

V-diet Day 4

Day 4 almost closed. I agree with G, the workout on monday was almost a joke, minus the overhead squats. I got m' arse kicked with that V Burn challenge... I digress.

I had a few things to add and ask. One, do you think that these nepa walks are important if I am working all day on the house? I'm not just sitting around, gettin a lot of work done, so just wondering.

Also, have either of you been having any cravings? I had a rough afternoon, but I made it ok. Nothing a quick prayer and focus won't fix.

Lastly, we're 4 and 5 days in... keep it up yall!

V-diet day 2

Ok... well, I think I've found the proper day to have the healthy solid meal. Actually, G and I did. It's going to be the same day as your V-burn challenge. Damn it to heck... We got done with that killer of a workout and I was spent. I had to lay down after I got home under the fan to try to drop the core temp down. I thought I was going to spontaneously combust.

Thank God you called dude and splained about the HSM when you did. We left the house, went straight to S-water and I bought 3 NY Strip, 3 yellow squash, 3 zuchini, 1 yellow onion, 2 crowns of broccoli, and some carrots. I threw this together, no joke, in about 8 minutes. It was all done and on the table 20 minutes later.

Chris Suggart said to eat slowly, savoring every bite. Taste all the flavors, and take your time... Well B*LLSH*T!!!!!! I waited way too long to cook the last meal. I was on the steak like white on rice, a cup of sugar, paper plate, in a snow storm. I just finished eating and I think I might actually go into a coma. haha.

Anyway, I'm already planning next weeks meal. Salmon, rice, asparagus, 1 half a cow, and tomatoes with motzerella. teehee I cant wait. Hope yall are doing well. hasta

V-Diet day 1

so its roughly 6:30. I woke up from my plumbing stupor last night at around 11:30. I worked all night, then went to the house straight from work to finish the sewer under the house. We did get finished finally. at 5:30. I was so tired I couldn't see straight.

I woke up from my stupor at 11:30 and decided to binge on chips and salsa, cookies t' wife made, a few beers and some bicardi silver. I also set up moms Wii.. I played that stupid thing until 3:30 or 4 am. They are addicting.

It is now 6:50. I caught myself about to sip what was left of the root beer I had leftover this morning. I'm about to pop a hot rox, load up a bag of supps, and head over to G's for the paintball? today.

I didn't eat at all yesterday through all the hard work and everything. I'm going to keep an open mind and a prayerful heart throughout today. First day of our new lives bros!
