Ok, there's a change in plans. I'm scrapping the carb cycling in favor of counting my calories on a daily basis. I don't necessarily like the fluctuation in energy levels while carb cycling & from previous experience, I know that no amount of carb cycling will work unless the total amount of calories you take in on a daily basis is less than what you burn up. I'm still eating good food, but won't put so much emphasis on counting protein & carbs.. My calories for the next 3.5 weeks will be relatively low to put me back on track since last week was a waste. I'll probably stagger my calories somewhat, and every Saturday will be a cheat day, so hopefully my metabolism won't slow TOO much. Here's today:
**NO workout, cardio only**
Meal 1(0730)
2 large eggs(whole)-150
2pc whole wheat toast-180
2 tsp all fruit-45
16oz water
Cardio**HOME**(1100)/Treadmill/7% incline/3.5mph/30 min
Meal 2(1145)
1 can tuna-150
1/2cp(dry) success white rice-190
1tbs teriyaki marinade-15
16oz water
Meal 3(1730)
8oz(Raw) chicken breast-240
1 cup frozen broccoli-25
1 tbs bbq sauce-30
16oz water
**64 oz crystal lite consumed throughout the day**
Daily calories were 1025.. Whew, kinda low! We'll see how my workout goes tomorrow...

Ok, today I weighed in at the gym. I hadn't weighed in for 2 weeks b/c I was off & was afraid of what I'd find. I was extremely pleased to find that I weighed 218lbs! It's definitely accurate as I stepped off & on about 3 times just to make sure. This puts me at a total weight loss of 29 lbs in 8.5 weeks of actual dieting(I subtracted the time I was off). My waist was also down 1/2" as well. It's great b/c I'm having to buy new clothes b/c all my old ones are way too big. The cool thing is, I'm not even close to being done yet(I'm dieting until July), so there's MUCH more improvement to come. This is addicting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Workout(0830)-Back/Traps/Biceps**no cardio today**
Chin(med grip/front)-Bwtx6x5x5x5**THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO THESE COMFORTABLY IN PROBABLY 10 YEARS!!!!

Barbell Bent Rows(on block)-225x6x5x5
BB Shrug-225x6/315x5
DB Shrug-105x8x8
DB Preacher curl-25x10/30x12/35x6
Barbell Curl(SUPER strict)-80x6x6
Incline DB curl-30x8/35x8
Barbell wrist curl-80x7x7
Barbell Reverse wrist curl-40x10x10

Good job Terry!
By now, you should have reached the 30 lbs target? Did you weight yourself since those 29 lbs on april 30th?
Keep going!

No Mo,
I haven't weighed myself since April 30th.. I'm waiting to weigh myself until May 21st, since that is the end of the Old School Physique Transformation Challenge that I'm participating in. I'm definitely getting leaner, as I have some new veins popping out(only when I'm lifting, though.. Not lean enough yet to have them show while just standing around) in my biceps & delts.. My daughter will be 3 years old Friday, so I have her 3 year birthday party this weekend. I'll be off the diet Saturday.. After that, I'm doing another 8-10 week stretch to see where it takes me.. I'll start back recording my workouts & diet then.. Good luck in your show this weekend!!

Ok guys, here's the end of this contest, but it's only the midpoint in my journey. In these pics I'm 215lbs. That puts me at 32lbs total weight lost and 5 inches lost on my waist. I'm happy with the changes, but DEFINITELY not SATISFIED. I plan on continuing to diet during the rest of May, all of June, and possible July. My goal is to get down to 175lbs & display some serious veins & abs. I'll keep posting in case anyone is interested after this is all over & done with. I want to thank everyone for showing an interest & providing some friendly competition. You have all, in one way or another, played an integral part in helping me improve my lifestyle, attitude, health & outlook on life in general. A BIG thanks to you all for keeping me motivated! Ok, after that sappy, long-winded speech, here goes nothing:       With these pics, I'm ending this journal & will start up a new one starting Monday. Follow me on my quest to 175lbs & a physique worthy of the title, BODYBUILDER!!! |

Man, how much money have you had to spend on a new wardrobe? You look like two different people, and I think it shows in your smile in the photos.
Great work Terry!

Thanks for the kind words, guys.. They REALLY mean a lot! I'm working hard, but still only at the halfway point.. I'm starting another journal today, so keep reading if you are so inclined..
YB,
I haven't spent TOO much money on clothes yet, as I've got about 30-40lbs more to go until I'm done for THIS year.. Luckily summer is coming up, so shorts & T shirts are no big deal!
