Double Trouble Training Log - CT's prep for twin boys!

4/3/09
Day 7​

Summary
It rained like mad again today :(. Normally our landscaping company works through the rain but it was so hard today that the boss called us out and I got an extra day off. I was upset at first because I really need that money....but after I realized how awful I felt, I was happy. I was definitely high on carbs today with all the Orange Juice I slammed trying to get some serious Vit C rollin through me. I've been sneezing and coughing a mess all day. The only real "activity" i've had was playing some Wii and doing Rx Positions.

The Session
Unilateral Leg Work
Rx 1 - 60 seconds *ea. leg*
Rx 2 - 60 seconds *ea. leg*
Rx 3 - 60 seconds *ea. leg*

Thats really it.

Nutrition
Other than loading up on Orange Juice....today was clean. I had a realfruit popsicle in the morning...but since it was all natural, I didn't consider it a *cheat* of any sorts. Went to ShopRite tonight and spent a little over $100 so I should be good on healthy items for the week, haha

What Tomorrow Holds
Hopefully I feel a little bit better and I can get a session in. Depends on the weather really. If it's nice out then probably some barbell lifts and cardio. If it's crappy, probably some Kettlebells and yoga. I also have a little guy's "bowling birthday party" to attend if I can make it...so that should be fun, haha

He's so PICky
And this was my day. The hilarity of the picture is that this IS NOT my high game. It would say record under the picture if it was. I think the high game is 268 or something (which is funny because my high game in real life is higher than that ;))

Ps- that's my 55in. big screen. I know it's no big deal flat screen like the new ones....but I still love it just the same.


I want to add a video today...everyone else gets to ;)

Most of the logs I go to I see the almost nude chicks. Although I tend to enjoy looking at the almost nude chick here and there....I kind of wanted my log to express something a little different. Obviously in this case...Wii :crackhead:
 
First Weigh In

So the first week has ended and here is the official weigh in. I think it may have been slightly skewed but i'm still happy (last night my throat hurt so bad that I had a popsicle RIGHT before I went to bed)

234.6 lbs - initial weigh in (3/29/09)
233.4lbs- end of week 1 (4//4/09)

Down 1.2lbs in the first week. Now it's off to get a haircut and lose another 2lbs ;)

STILL waiting on this guy to get me some form of catalogue to work with. I promise it won't be all that much longer. Bear with me...the pricing looks like it might be the best i've ever seen :)

Thanks for subbing brother!

Day 8​

Summary
Well with this morning's weigh in and I down 1.3lbs I believe it was...so thats a plus. With that small of a drop I can be fairly certain that it was all water/fat loss and no muscle loss. Today was another rainy day that eventually turned fairly nice. Only issue with that is, by the time it was nice out I was attending a young boy's birthday party and then had to head home to have dinner and clean the house. It was a constructive day though. I got a haircut (finally) and I went and got my taxes done. I got to pay HR Block $62 and I owed Obama $25. Awesome.

The Session
Unilateral Leg Work
Rx 1 - 60 seconds *ea. leg*
Rx 2 - 60 seconds *ea. leg*
Rx 3 - 60 seconds *ea. leg*
Pushup
50
Situp
50


Nutrition
At the birthday party for the youngster I had a slice of pizza that I really shouldn't have had...but I didn't eat much today...so I was probably still on point for cals and such. I was annoyed that I let myself have it...but it was okay since it was for festivities and all.

What Tomorrow Holds
I am either playing tennis or lifting. End of story. No if's and's or but's. If I can get people on the court then i'll hit because it's been almost 2 weeks since I have...but if not, it's lifting all the way.

He's so PICky
Chose to go Old Skool for you all and show a pic of me a few years back in a pub around here. I was MUCH heavier...and much more drunk :bandit:

My bro and his buddy got to party with Dennis, Bridget, and Dave at a pub in New Orleans last month. And by that, I mean it was just them...I was sooo jealous when I heard that! I was stuck at home doing schoolwork. :(

Awesome job on the weightloss, Deuce!

I decided to skip on the tennis and tonight I joined in with a bunch of buddies in a couple of pickup hockey games a few towns away. Should be a good time :)


ps - I miss my dad a lot today.

Much Respect CT, your making me think about how I need to spend more time w/ my Dad
Click to expand...

You really should. Im telling you....it comes faster than you expect, and there's nothing you can do but feel awful and regret. I spent more time with him towards the end than usual....but it doesn't mean I spent enough time with him. I wish I had.

Day 9​

Summary
Today had it's up's and down's...but it was a beautiful day so that was nice. Its supposed to be crappy pretty much all week...so I soaked as much of it up as I could. I wasnt having a great day....and still aren't really, but I tried to make the best of it.
In 2 games of 3v3 hockey, we won both games. Game 1 I had 2 goals and 2 assists and we won 5-3. 2nd game I had 1 goal and 2 assists and we won 4-1.

The Session
Hockey Warmup's
20 mins
Hockey Games
1.5 hours
Unilateral Leg Work
Rx 1 - 60 seconds *ea. leg* x 2 sets
Rx 2 - 60 seconds *ea. leg* x 2 sets
Rx 3 - 60 seconds *ea. leg* x 2 sets


Nutrition
I didn't eat at the times I wanted to, but I ate cleanly.

What Tomorrow Holds
Back to work tomorrow so it all depends on how I feel once i'm out. Im going to start trying to get up early and do a little before work, but tomorrow won't be the first day. Still fighting a battle against a cold....so I am not chancing anything.

He's so PICky
Since I played today I figured i'd post a picture of my favorite player of all time. Brian Leetch was a great New York Rangers defensemen that also played a great deal of offense from that position.

I keep feeling like something's gotta give....and this song makes perfect sense. It's one of my fav's by Thrice before they started making crappy music.

the alchemy index and vhiessu are both albums that I care not for. Their first 3 albums were king though.

I enjoy a few songs from vhiessu and the alchemy index is definitely a rarity for me to listen to but I don't write it off as bad. It's just a different style that I listen to when I feel like it. Deadbolt is one of my favorites by them tho.

you mean 4 albums.

first impressions
identity crisis
illusion of safety
artist in the ambulance

each one is solid gold. but AITA was, to me, the beginning of their decline. it was good, but it wasnt THAT good.

i saw them do an acoustic set at warped tour back in like 2004. would have been a full set, but reily (drummer) had a hurt back, so they made the best with what they had.

let me tell you, deadbolt and to awake and avenge the dead, as an acoustic, holy christ. so so awesome.

I forgot about the first impressions EP....my apologies!

I agree about the progressive decline since AITA...as I only enjoyed half that album and I loved everything before it. EVERYTHING.

I know exactly when you mean...I remember seeing them talk about Riley hurting himself on the DVD. The next year through I got to meet all of them and I had Dustin sign my "Burn Collector" book...which he recommended to read.

Oh there's much better men...i'm just trying to grow into a large shadow of my family's memory. There have been many great men through the ages of my history. Im just hoping I can come close. I appreciate it very much though....and you are one of the best men i've met on here by far.
 
Thanks CT, although everyone says that I'm still a big kid at 21 y/o, haha
Guess I still got tons to learn...
 
Deuce, you're making me happy I just moved back in with my parents for another few months. Haha. It gives me time to spend with both of my parents before I actually start my life when I finish college in December...who knows where I'll have to move.

yeah well that was the issue for me for a really long time. I wanted to be here because I knew that my father's health was not the best and I wanted to try and be around him as long as possible. Even though I didn't spend much "quality" time with him by most people's standards....we often just bs'ed and argued about sports and politics...but he was my father, and thats what we did.

Now that I am sort of "free" to move and start something exciting somewhere else....my girlfriend wants to keep her daughter and our son's near her parents....so i'm stuck here for a while. I can't blame her though...she just wants to do what I wanted to do for so long..
 
Ya, I hear yuh. It's very important for women to have a strong support structure around them, usually meaning family. I think that's very important. Growing up is tough, isn't it? :lol:

haha its something im not used to...I can tell you that for sure. I was always such a jokester and stuff....all this real life out of nowhere is tough. I mean....I had such a "real life" childhood...that i tried making my late teens/early 20's into a party on wheels so to speak....but death and birth alike have brought me back down to reality...and now it's time to settle in.
 
haha so many scrubs fans.

There is a hilarious line from a family guy episode....I have to see if I can find it. Something like "Im watching Scrubs and uhh....which one is the funny guy?"
 
Good job on the progress Deuce. Those pics were cool too. You look a lot like you did when you were a baby. Some people don't look anything like they did when they were a baby.

Day 10​

Summary
So with the excessive rains in our area, I was told to stay home from work yet again today. I first saw it as a pain because I really need this money...but then I used it to my advantage. I hung some frames and painting's i've been meaning to get up, I got a solid workout in, I cooked tonights dinner and prepped in tomorrows, played some wii, made some phone calls...etc. It was productive.
Today was also my Mother's birthday. We talked for a while on the phone but that was about it. She's usually pretty busy....as am I. We always get together after a holiday. Like a week after christmas, haha.

Nutrition
At dinner I had a few Pierogies....but otherwise it was totally clean. I even managed to supplement at all the right times today which never happens, haha. Just gotta pop some fishies and ZMK before bed and that completes it!

What Tomorrow Holds
Well I think im going to be working no matter what. Even if it's torentially downpouring, my boss said he has a spackling/painting job somewhere that I can handle. I dislike painting greatly...but I do need the money so I guess I won't complain. Depending on how I feel when I get back, maybe lift...maybe not so much.

He's so PICky
Today the Yankees kicked off the season in Baltimore (and got shelled)...but since I completely disagree in the building of their new stadium for greed and giving up on the legend...I figured i'd post a memory.

Since yesterday was *in my opinion* good Thrice since *in my opinion* their new stuff is not so good....today I am giving you *in my opinion* Good AFI since *in my opinion* new AFI sucks.

Painting huh, well thats great shoulder work! I hate painting too, hence why the paint and all the brushes have been sitting in my bathroom a month. I keep hoping one day I'll wake up and the paint fairies will have finished it!
 
YES!
Good call on Thrice AND AFI Chuck.
I f-cking hated everything after the Art of Drowning.
Everything before was hardcore at it's finest.

Black Sails is by far my favorite album (got Answer That and Shut Your Mouth on vinyl)

:head:

I had no idea you were an AFI fan Chuck, reps :)

Papa Deuce...don't sell Team Deuce short! Your a hell of a great person man. There is no shadow for you to fill...your already a great man.

Take it from me...I was screwed from the day I was born...I had a monstrous shadow cast upon me because my father was iconic in the city I live in. He was one of the greatest athletes to ever play in Beloit, WI. Beyond that...my father was a huge powerful man...when I tell you he dwarfed me...I'm really not exaggerating. I'm a big guy, but my father's nickname was Bear for a reason...he was a bear of a man (I'll never be as powerful or as big and I'm ok with that), but also a big Teddy Bear that everyone loved. Honestly, I have just lived life trying to create my own niche. I loved my father dearly and before he passed away we had mutual respect between each other as men...beyond father and son...I could never be the man he was, but also he could never be the man I am and will be...my father carried a great sense of pride knowing he helped shape me into becoming my own man...I walk my own path! In essence, the moral of my story is...you create your own destiny and have no one to impress, but yourself. Your a great man as it is now and you will be a great father as well. I have faith in ya bud ;).

Cheers to ya Papa Deuce!:cheers:

I agree...Black Sails is my fav as well. I also liked pretty much everything before it though. That was probably my last album by them that I enjoyed though.
