Big boy needs to strip out, here's the plan, plz review and critique.

Nice quiet mother's day. Took momma and the kids to church, came home and fixed her a nice lunch, me and the daughter did dishes then went down to my moms for a bit. Came home and mowed.

Anyways, dietary info for today:2175 cals (62 [minus 12 fiver]= 50 carbs, 244 protein, 101 fats) with an estimated burn of 3451 for an estimated deficit of 1276.
 
Started out to do 15 X 30/30 cycles at full resist for each phase, got to 10X and did not feel it was challenging enough, so I decided to kick in at least 5 x 40 (High intensity)/20 (less intense Cycles). Got 5 done and still had not really gotten winded. Took it to 10. The only difference I felt was that I could not keep the SPM guage pegged at "E" (error) for the whole 40 sec but we hit it every time. So that is 10X30/30 followed by 10x 40/20 and then backed down to 70% and coasted to an even 25 minutes. 214 cals.

Dietary info for today: 2405 cals (87 [minus 19] = 68 carbs, 231 protein, 130 fat) with an estimated burn of3784 for a deficit of 1379.

Also, realized I forgot to post up this weeks 'tale of the tape" so we will move it to wednesdays and will post results tomorrow.
 
Today's tale of the tape: 275 pounds, waist is 43 and 3/4, down 2 more pounds and another 1/2 inch off the girth! I am now legal to wrestle heavyweight in the State of Ohio (LOL) Overall totals = 47 pounds and 7.75 inches.
 
Congrats :clap:
 
Pretty quiet today, just had to drive to Fort Wayne for an ultrasound follow up from my fem to fem bypass, then driving back to work then home.

Good news! The tech said my BP at my ankles was much improved from my last scan (about 8 months ago) which means circulation in my legs is improving.

Dietary for today (kept it pretty tight) 2441 cals (86 [minus 20 fiber] =66 carbs, 261 protein, 110 fats) with an estimated of 3655 for a deficit of 1214.

Tonight, I get to drill more holes into my heavy belt because it no longer fits tight enough on the final notches

Yeah Anton, actually I have Type II and PAD (Peripheral Artery Disease) which resulted in a fem to fem bipass a few years ago. Last a1-c test was at 6.0 which is considered non-diabetic range, HDL was 59 (awesome), LDL was 129 (still awesome) so I think I have the diabetes and cholesterol in check pretty well. I have been very open about all of this stuff. It is what finally got me off of my ass (well, that and my oldest saying "Hey dad, let's cure that dibetes when I come home for summer break!") My final decision to quit smoking last November was spurred by a cardiologist who was doing a scan and checking my leg arteries to place stints telling me if I kept smoking, I would lose my feet befor I died.

I have to give praise to God for the improvements, but the diet and excercise have helped also :).

2:20 – 3:15 p.m.

Notes: Was starting to feel a little beat up, joints achy etc, so decided it was time for a deload. Instead of taking a week away from the iron and just hitting cardio, I have opted to lower volume a bit buy dropping some weight.

Got the chance to go lift with my oldest Saturday, so I will be doing my squat/leg work then. THis gives the chance to play with the schedule a wee bit. Tonight we have another baseball game, so I am just gonna hit some cardio and get to the game, chest work out Friday, legs on Saturday.

Am thinking about wrapping this log up as a whole, am about 1.6lbs off of my original target weight. Regardless, will continue to watch the diet and hit the iron.
 
You've made great progress here, and have run a few good logs. Keep it up, and we'll check in with you to make sure you're bustin' ass! Let me know when your AnaBeta log starts!

Ok, between Father's day and my birthday (6/21) I really kind of let the diet go to hell. This brought me to a realization. I need the continued accountability running this log has brought. Today we are back up on it. Report on Wk 3, day 2 of 5/3/1 training and nutrition to come later.
 
GLAD TO HAVE YOU BACK!!! LOL!

Don't worry, you will build that internal accountability over time, just keep it going on here until it becomes second nature. It does take quite a bit of time though to change what you've learned over your life!

We'll kick your butt back in gear!

Quiet day today, just a short bike ride, about 30 minutes. 2307 cals in (135 [minus 26 fiber]=109 carbs, 229 protein99 fats) with an estimated burn of 3756 for a deficit of 1449. Tomorrow starts a deload week for the 5/3/1, which I have really been enjoying. I am assuming that I also drop the weight on the assist movements, other wise, it is not really much of a deload.
 
Yep, depending on how you've got your deload set up, it's generally drop 50% of weight and keep same number of reps. This includes ancillary/assist lifts IIRC. Just give your body a chance to actively recover.
 
The plan for the day kind of got screwed ( did I mention I HATE Crisis work?) Anyways, got called to do an intervention, took about 5 hrs, ended around 8:30, no lifting tonight:( .

Dietary for today: 2737 cals (109 [minus 23 fiber] =86 carbs, 256 protein, 153 fats) with an estimated burn of 3408 for a deficit of 761.
