Weigh in today was good down 4.6 pounds


The two main things I've been working on since the class is they want us at 1500 calories and eating 6 "meals" with 100g of protien minimum. Also they nutritionist commented about no more the 30g protien a meal as the body cant absorb more the that at one time. Oh and drink water like a fish 80oz a day

So I've been paying attention to the amount of protien per meal. But main focus has been trying to do the six meals a day with the 1500 I've slowly been bring this down to a consistent under 1900 from the 2400 I was at. Water intake is the getting better closer to 60 oz a day.

Agree with GD. Change 1 thing at a time. It usually takes about 10 days for a change to become habitual.
Also, have you thought about doing a quick workout in the AM. This could increase your metabolism for the rest of the day and assist in burning more calories as well as get you up/alert and ready to 'take on the day'.
I have thought about the morning workout my issue with it and why I've always done night workouts is I'm not a morning person. And feel if I tried to workout mornings I'd skip it to sleep. Just being honest with myself there and wanted to make sure I worked out

I used to take a Gallon of water with me to work everyday and make sure I finished it before my shift ended. Its tough but eventually your body will get used to it like anything else. For me it was fun because I had a co worker who was dieting/exercising too so we would both stay on each other all day about our water intake. If you can find someone with the same goals or similar to yours. Having that extra push really helps too.

Yeah right know I bring 2 25oz bottles to work and try to make sure they are gone before I leave but I'm also trying to practice sipping the water and not chugging it as I normally do. Right now I use the forum for support and a buddy of mine but he lives on the other side of the state so normally it's a check in on each other mid day with a text or something

Still doing the giant sets full body routine. Kept rest to 1:15 between giants to keep the intensity up. Took 45 mins to smoke the whole body and burnt 400 cals. Then I stained the last side of my house for the year. Started back on +500 cals/day, creatine and HMB, see if the gains start coming now.

Good progress mates! Good effort coming from all corners of Eastmans!

I continue to run and lift weights in an effort to stay healthy and be mountain ready. I also enjoy the entire process of working out and pushing myself. I am planning to run a 10k in Pittsburgh in late September for something to do. This will be my first 10k race so I've got to plan a bit differently. Started out running (3) Half Marathons before I ever entered a 5k. I don't' consider myself a runner, but I have surprising found it enjoyable.
No kids this weekend so wife & I are trying to put together a biking or kayaking day trip.

BTW: if anyone wants to connect on Instagram (beckett.2019)
I don't do much social media, but played around with it and found it a cool way to keep up with current hunt videos and stories from companies/people I follow, such as Eastmans, Dan Pickar, etc...
I'm not a big poster, but it's a nice way to keep up to date or see cool content on my lunch break as it seems forums are a dying breed.

Plenty fast brother! I think I'm too heavy to get much below 7:30 for long distance but can handle 1mi for 6:30
That's some good work you got going on!
