Thank you sir. I'm trying. Even with the lack of cals, I don't feel like I'm lacking. I honestly would have to attribute that to the effectiveness of PXB. It didn't really curb my appetite at first, but it has gotten a lot better at it over time. I did skip the gym for the past two days due to sickness and having to fast/break prior to labs but I'll be in there first thing in the morning.
 
So, I celebrated my weight loss with a yummy meal. Don't know the content and don't care. Just put it in a pan and cooked it and shoved it in my face.

30 pistachios
5oz chicken breast
3 Brussel sprouts
1/2 tspn coconut oil and a pinch of sea salt.

Bah humbug, post some picks man. No one here will dawg you man. Look at my anabeta log and see my pics. I am no physical specimen bro. I have some pubertal gyno and residual chest fat that i hate and am a bit self conscious about but the bros here on AM are more that understanding and motivating. I just cover my face because im paranoid...LoL.

In the day one pic I'm +/-191. In the week 2 pic, 182.4. Thanks for the compliments. I'm very hard on myself and comparatively speaking, I look like shlt compared to who I was before I lost my motivation a couple of years ago. It's ok though. I see the light again and following logs like bean and DW, and now the rest of the PXB loggers are a kick in the ass for me.
As far as ink, most everything I have is unfinished. The heart has a scroll on it with my mom's name, DOB and DOD. I have other crap that doesn't show in frontal pics. My favorite is the jungle book on my left arm. I should have that finished by the end of summer, it'll be a full sleeve.
 
Snapped a couple pics this morning without trying to be too weird.

Thanks man. -9lbs. It was made official when I weighed this morning on the scale I took my starting weight from. I've got some great dudes on my side giving me some priceless pointers. There's one dude in particular who I should probably be paying for his help...
Believe it or not, the ink on my chest is almost ten years old. My right arm is faded A LOT. I don't hold red well. I got my right arm done 13 years ago. There are big plans in the works for my back to get scrawled on.

I agree sir and I'm happy about it. I'm going through a complete overhaul and I haven't been able to get this stupid smile off of my face since I saw my weight yesterday.
PXB for the win.
AND I STILL HAVE FOUR WEEKS WORTH OF PILLS LEFT.

One last pic and I'm done posting them for a while... This is to give a little insight as to why I'm so hard on myself right now. This pic is from two years ago, when I was doing well. I know it's hard to tell from the pic a bf% and my stats, but you can easily tell how much bigger I was just from my outline. It's the best one I have from that period, as I lost a lot of personal stuff in my last transition.
Rant over.

You started a little late brosef. I promise, if you stick to your guns, you're gonna see results. This stuff is good.
Thanks for the compliments. I wish I had your view of the beach. Your spring break is gonna rock. I'm jelly man.

By last transition I meant move. It wasn't as graceful as it should have been. When you stack divorce+move pct=fatboy time. Haha. Nah, you're not being nosey though.
Yup, 9lbs brother. I hope to continue the trend. I didn't plan on getting below 175, ever again. Here's the deal though, if I can hit 175,170,168 or whatever that weight is where I'm ripped and healthy, I'm down. I've learned a ton about nutrition and timing. I'm sure I can apply that to building muscle back after this cut.
Shredded by summer means SHREDDED.

Thats what i thought you meant but wasnt sure. We call it PCSing but i figured it was the same thing.

Just remember too that the leaner you are the better your bulk will be as long as its clean.

Yeah, we call it a PCS as well, but only 2% of the nation's populace ever serves so I try to stay away from our acronyms.

And I agree. I have plenty of time to get where I want to be and I want to do it as efficiently as possible.

Ohh ok, haha yes thats very true.
 
GVT leg day is hell on the wheels. I've been sore for days.
Very productive this morning in the gym. As always, I started the morning with two PXB upon waking, then it's off on my long commute to the gym. Chest and back today and I felt great.
I still get that boost from PXB. I may just be a little heartbroken when I run out and have to go back to my other PWO. Oh well.
 
This morning's workout looked like this:

Flat DB bench palms facing 55x10/10
SS w/palms facing lat pulldowns 115x10/10
(Still adjusting weight to find that spot where I fail to get all reps for all sets. Next week will be 60-62.5 and 130 respectively)
Incline DB flyes 50x10/3
SS w/bent over single DB rows 60x10/3
Then I took a shower and nursed a bloody nose.
Damn weather.

Sorry man. We're getting some golden love right now. It's a welcome change. It's still pretty chilly though. Not like your kind of chilly, but chilly for me.

I have stalked up on Vitamin D... and taking plenty of PX.... :) I will fight through these last days of winter, actually about 6 weeks before we are really out of it.
 
It is 70 and not a cloud in the sky, a little windy perfect day to fly a kite which is probably exactly what Doug is wanting to tell me to go do right now. The PG version anyway...
 
Oh yeah man the GVT is major abusive on the legs. They will grow like a beast though.

My thoughts exactly.
 
Results back from the doc

Good news- cholesterol was 238 +\- six weeks ago. As of last week when my blood was drawn, 154. Boom. Getting that taken care of. Time to go eat some fried food. (Not)

In OTHER NEWS- test serum total....
Normal=348-1197
Mine, you ask? 350.4

Not to make excuses, but I think I now know what happened to my motivation and dedication for fitness. I see an endo Wednesday morning as a candidate for TRT.
 
Update from yesterday. I'm also vitamin D deficient. Last night I took my first dose of 50,000iu and I have to do that every Monday for 12 weeks. Supposedly I'll feel better.
Under normal circumstances, leg day and shoulder day are my favorites. With GVT, not so much on the leg day. That was this morning. Legs are jello. I cheated on my diet last night and loaded up a bunch of carbs to help me get through this morning's session. I think I'll do that before every leg session from here on out.
 
Not a bad idea to load up before the GVT leg sessions. Makes most leg days on other programs look like kid's play. I love em, but man they suck if you are not ready. I try to time my leg days for when I don't have too much physical exertion necessary for a day or two following.

And if it makes you guys feel any better it has been raining and getting flood warnings here for 3 days.. but it is like 70 degrees..
 
Might want to try and get that test up naturally before going the trt route but go for it if that's what you want to do. Congrats on getting that cholesterol down!
