6 Week Fat Loss Challenge

Had a great workout today. See my log.

Insane pumps. Yeah those sexy red heels make the routine ensemble perfect.
 
Decent workout today even without stims. I can tell I'll need to pop some caffeine tabs soon.
 
Again, sorry for the redundancy if youre on my other 2 logs, but smashed my finger today and had to drill through the nail with a a cordless drill and 1/16th bit. So no lifting for a couple of days im sure, I cant grab anything with the hand. 2 hours of racquetball this afternoon burning 1900 calories so not a total loss.
 
Too tired to copy and paste my massive routine today. That sounded like Arnold in my head. Happens a lot.

Oh hell. Ok. I paste.

Guys I purchased Dream-n-Grow yesterday, and I can't wait to receive the 8 hour straight deep Zzzzzz!
 
Guys, sorry I didn't check in. The wheels completely came off the wagon yesterday. As MrKleen pointed out, pushing to the limits has its, errr, limits.

I've been through brain fog and hunger, and all kinds of things before, but yesterday was unlike anything I've ever gone through. I woke up with hunger, and was totally exhausted. My brain fog had me completely disconnected and just getting through the work day was a chore. The drive to eat, not even out of hunger, just like - cravings for sugar and food of all kinds, was just insane. Totally animalistic. I had to drive an hour away and when I got there it was to the point where I thought, "I can't drive back like this, I need something" - and I went for Wendys because it was in the middle of nowhere and that was all there really was. And I felt great. For 15 minutes. Then it came back. All I wanted to do all day was eat and sleep. So I gave in. I probably ate almost 4,000 calories total. And I wasn't even feeling full. And I wasn't feeling guilty. It was a really crazy feeling.

Today, I feel much better, renewed, ready to go. I slept through my morning cardio, and my weigh in was horrific - I gained almost 7 pounds!!! Obviously a lot of water, and I can tell it's water. What is re-assuring is I had some signs of definition coming through that I've never had before, particularly veins in my biceps and lower abs, and they are still their despite the obvious bloating going on. I guess after 5 months of dieting and over 4 weeks of very extreme dieting/cardio, we could all see this coming. This is why it's a marathon and not a race....except this challenge is a race.

But I'm getting back at this today. Had a protein shake in coffee this morning. I'm considering throwing in some MCTs and upping the calories by a couple hundred a day. I know a lot of this is that I've been doing INSANE levels of cardio (I mean, I even had a dream about riding the bike last night and being so tired I couldn't move the pedals) - but part of that is that I'm not used to the cardio and I haven't given myself a chance to adapt to the change. I'd like to be able to get used to doing 1.5-2 hours/day of cardio because I believe I could start waking up early, do the cardio, and increase my caloric expenditure over time so that I'm in the 3000-3500 calorie/day range and can actually eat a little more and not worry. Even an hour a day would probably be a good habit.

At any rate, I'm going to keep pushing to the end of this and go out fighting, but I am finding it funny that most people say, "You shouldn't lose more than 2 pounds per week" - yeah, if you're within 30 pounds of your weight, you shouldn't be so concerned. 2 pounds/week is harder than it looks at that point! haha.

Haha thanks guys, appreciate the kind words. I was surprised how much of a difference there was between my starter pic and my current. I'll try not to post though for another 3-4 weeks to keep the hostility down?

Only a hiccup and maybe your body really needed it. No biggie for a fighter like you!

Thanks for the comment - it is what it is. That's what I get for pushing like this. I am learning, but I also think a lot of it has to do with my just not being in good enough shape to lose the weight through all that exercise. If I was more used to it and it was more gradual, it probably wouldn't be so tiring, but I just dumped it on there and I'm in OK enough shape to actually do it, but I can't handle it long term. I figured I could survive 6 weeks of it, but it's harder than I anticipated. And I definitely needed it. I can't explain the psychological difference I went through yesterday. Literally just wanted to eat and sleep and had no motivation. None at all. Like I said, I was hunting for food and just couldn't get enough. I feel much better today though. I'm sure I'm not gonna make the 18 pounds in 6 weeks, but I'll keep pushing and I won't stop until I hit my goal weight. It's just a hiccup like you said.
 
4 days in with my 800 calorie deficit (soon to be 1000) and I'm hanging in pretty well with no stims. It hasn't gotten terrible yet.
 
Been real busy, so just a quick update.

This week so far has been solid. 1150-1350 in and 3000, 2650, 3000 burned so far M-W.

Burn should be up today as I added 15min/280cal to my typical cardio.

Looking to finish strong and have a pretty weigh in this week!
 
HIT4ME seems like it was time for a reset. I know I can't personally go that low or that same situation would happen to me. Been there, done that. I give you props for going so hard on this for so long. Now reset and let's finish strong!
 
Crossing my fingers that I win the logging opp for the new Cordygen vcaps. That crap is legit and I'm gonna need something to push me past you all at the finish line. :)

Sooner or later the baddest truck on the road has to stop for fuel. Im sire with the work youve put in on an empty tank, you just needed a pit stop. I guarantee you feel better and will be able to get right back on the road to bada$$ery

Damn man. You're making me want to crack open my Eviscerate Supernova or Iron Legion Invictus. Don't make me do it!

Haha, I must resist. I usually save my "novel supplements" these days for when I reach a sticking point. I haven't even popped Caffeine pills yet! My cut is actually going to be 5 months, but I will be hanging around this thread for the 8 weeks.
 
wesb2387 said:
You have SN and you're not using it?!? That stuff is terrific. I highly recommended starting NOW!!!!

In my stash, I have:

Mass Pro Synthagen
Evomuse Eviscerate Supernova
Iron Legion VII-KT
Iron Legion Invictus
Hi-Tech Lipodrene Hardcore (DMAA Variant)
SNS Caffeine

Currently using none of them right now. Just dieting and hitting my macros and using my staples (Vitamins, Fish Oil, etc). Usually I can land at 12% without too much effort, it's just I've never been under 12% so I'm saving all of those for sticking points
