Stu's Struggle

My diet has still be good except I had a cheat day on Sunday.

??

a whole day? Careful... but if it helps you keep your diet 100% clean and tight for the week until you get used to it, I'm sure it's better than nothing

But if you can, stick to a cheat meal... like a whole pizza and some beer, whatever you've been craving all week.

^^^^^

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

hey hey, you know what those whips do to me!!

Yeah, although it took me 2 meals to eat the entire pizza

It was my first cheating in 2 weeks, so I'm good to go again. I went shopping for some more food on Sunday and my order from Protein Factory came in yesterday, so I'm all set for a couple weeks.

Feeling great today! The Evil Scale of Death says I've lost 2lbs since last Friday, which I'm happy about. Total for 3 weeks of diet is -6lbs and +motivation and mental health. I noticed a difference in the mirror this morning and today was the first day that my co-workers said something about my looks. I had about 4 people come up to me and ask what I was doing and for advice for themselves. I can do this!!!

That's awesome man! Really goes to show you ARE making great progress... I've found when other people notice progress... it's usual much "larger" progress than you think because we miss the small things... when it adds up... people go "whoa!"

No weight change this week however I noticed more difference in the mirror and my shorts are feeling a LOT looser. My scale says I lost 1% BF this week though.

You did join that gym right? Do the do BF testing there (with capliers) so you can have a more accurate way to track you progress?

Mirror shows a slimmer you & loose clothes?! GO YOU!!!!

Yes, I joined a gym. I don't think they offers body fat testing though. I'll ask and make sure of it. Yeah, I'm going to need a belt here soon!

That's awesome!! You're going to be needing a new closet fulla clothes Keep up the great work! How is training going?

 

[here2help]

Nah, I actually never threw out my old clothes because I've been trying to lose weight for 6 years....but mostly it's because I'm a tightwad, lol.

Training is going well. I've been sticking with my morning cardio and feel great after doing it. I've only been making it to the gym to lift weights twice a week, so I think I'm going to go back to my 1/2 body split that I used to do. I haven't done anything to cause me to be extremely sore like the first week, but each day after lifting the muscles I worked are a little sore when stretching.

I said nothing about tossing clothes! Just getting some new ones & storing those away for a future bulker. I was going to edit my post & say 'dont throw them away though you'll need em down the road'. BEEN THERE

You WILL be sore the first few weeks. Your body needs to adjust to the training it's not use to. It will pass after while. Just take it slow but don't be afraid of being sore.. pain is a different story.
