Time for me to drop some pounds...

[slat1]

Been going to the gym every morning. Hit legs today. Went light. Felt good.
I also found the scale at the gym. On an empty stomach I was 257. That means I am in the 260's during the day.
I usually don't get hung up on the scale but I thought I was going to be in the 240's. My pants are getting loose. I can see abs even without flexing (still have a long way to go though).
I guess I am making some progress and the more I make the more I realize the work I have cut out for me.
Oh well, it took a year and a half to get sloppy so if it takes anything less to get back in great shape I should be happy!
Diet has been in check. Just need to make sure I eat at least 6x a day. Over the long weekend I did not eat enough. I think that might have inflated the scale a bit. The more I eat the more I drop. The less I eat the more I gain.
Still gunning for 230.

Haven't work out in a week. Crushed myself over the weekend. Then my stomach has been killing me. Thought i was getting an ulcer. Winds up its anxiety. I need to take time off from my job. I have had four days off this year. I was on my death bed all four days too. The shortest week I have worked is 50+ hours (in office). I get calls and emails at home too.
I am thinking about taking a week off and not even going anyplace. Just getting my life back in order. Cleaning, shopping, working out, relaxing, reading, do nothing...
I may attempt going to the gym in the morning. I have to help move a fridge after work tonight. Then I am meeting a friend for a bit. No clue how long she wants to stay out.

What do they say about the best laid plans.
I got crushed all weekend again. Total wreck.
Time to get my life back together before my decisions kill me... and my bank.

I made it to the gym a few times last week. Started to see a difference. Down to 255. Of all things I am starting to see some shoulder development. I little bicep too.
Missed the gym this morning. Went tonight. Lot of big guys at my gym. It motivated me to go a little heavier. Started incline dumbbells with 60's, then 80's, then 100's. That felt good. By the time I got to flat I struggled with the 80's. My shoulder held up well.
Went out both nights last weekend. Its slowing me down bad.

Wow I have not updated in a while.
Lets see. I started going out and blowing money and getting waisted.
Still went to the gym 3 to 4 days a week.
My diet has been good.
I decided I am only going out once a week from now on. Just having a few drinks... nothing else. Where I live everyone hits it hard.
I am down to 251. I can see my abs when I am standing there. Not close to shredded though. I need to drop another 20lbs to look sick.
I still need to fill out. I am working on eating more whole foods. I need to put more time in at the gym.
I cleared up most of the women issues. Dropped the stripper with the bf. Got rid of another girl. Now I am hanging with one who is cool as hell.
Just trying to keep things as simple as possible.
BTW. I still feel fat and small.

Dipping below 250 finally. Going for 240 by the end of the month.
I am looking pretty good. Leaning out nicely. Still need to fill out more.
I have shit for endurance at the gym too.
I saw picture from September of 2005 when I was down to 225. It motivated the hell out of me but it was also depressing cause I have abs now and I was feeling good. Now I know I look like shit compared to where I want to be.
I will get back there. Hopefully, I will look that good at 230 instead of 225.

245 at the gym on Saturday. Hit arms.
Today is chest day. I may take it off. I did a lot of drinking Saturday afternoon into Sunday I am tight at hell.
Diet has been spot on until lunch today. Had some french fries and two pieces of pizza. I feel like I have been punched in the stomach. I can't process that crap anymore.

I see you are getting closer to your goal!! I am sure the more you keep tightening up on the workouts and diet the quicker you will get there!

Only managed to hit the gym twice this week. I keep falling asleep when I get home from work. I put in a little over 50 hours this week. Add in an hour of commuting each day too. I think the stress from work beat me down on top of that.
I did make it today and did back and bi's. I was 242. So I am still making progress.
I am right on the edge of taking off physique wise. My abs are looking good. So close to looking sick. I just need to get in the gym 5x a week. Even if its a half hour.
The hard part is going to be filling out. I am still having endurance problems. Never went through this before.
Maybe over time it will all come back. At this point I am working out for next summer. I want to look sick again.
