Been going good, sticking to the diet, basically eating the same thing every day with little differences.

Weight right now I'd say is around 253 but my next weigh in is Tuesday or Wednesday I think.   

The third week results ill see how much I lose and if I'm down say 3 lbs or more then I'll add a few hundred calories so I'm not losing too fast.

Update

Started back on the diet so my cardio is just walking.  I want to see how well my diet is working vs having a lot of cardio contributing.  Tomorrow is my first check in.

If I had to guess it'll be about 3lbs

Workouts have been consistent.  Mix of strength and bodybuilding, following slow eccentrics and 6 to 15 reps and maybe 2 in reserve.

Starting weight is 259 and each weigh in I'll stop eating and drinking around 10pm(i work 3 to 11) and only sips after that so I don't have too much food and water weight.

Lately my weigh ins are around 257 with clothes and after I've eaten.

What else umm my calories are around 2750 but probably go a little higher with sauces .

Protein: 250
Carbs: 180
Fat: 110

Once I get to 240 in going to hire my buddy to do my diet since last time that's where I got stuck and only got to 238 with running 12 miles and not drinking anything the night before.

Been doing light bodybuilding workouts and biking about 8 miles and running every other day.  Yesterday I biked 8 miles and ran for 30 minutes, and work was a shit show and got around 20k steps for the day.

Today just a walk and workout at work or after idk yet.

This week been working a lot and getting in some 45 minute bike rides and did a hour run/walk just now.  I signed up for a sprint and an Olympic next year.  Currently I'm waiting for my hybrid tires to come in so I can do road and gravel, until then I'll just ride the bike at the gym. 

I guess my goals next year will be to be around 215 to 220 and be competitive in the sprint and finish the Olympic.

9 mile ride today on my mountain bike

After the first 2 miles my seat came loose so I had to treck it back and managed to tighten the seat up.  It rained a lot so figured the mountain bike was a good choice.

Tomorrow will be better so I'll get the road bike out snd I have a 10ish mile or so route planned.

Rested yesterday

First trip on my road bike and the hills killed the mood.  It was just a giant ass hill one after another.

I did 6 miles and my quads were just locked up from attempting the hills.

Walking now, might run in a little when my legs feel better.  If I'd o it'll be a mile or two.

This is going to be harder than I thought haha

Easy day, ran 2.5 miles.

Tomorrow will just be a long walk.  I have to get an adapter or new pump for my new bike but hopefully I can ride it tomorrow.

Today felt more like the official start.

Did chest and tris

Stationary bike, 10 miles in 35 minutes
Run, it stopped for whatever reason at the 4 mile mark but I did around 4.5 to 5, somewhere in there.

Right at the finish my quads cramped up so that was like my max and not too bad.

Maybe ill cut my runs to 3 miles for the time being.

I'll do this every other day.  Tomorrow will be just an hour incline walk and bike.

Well getting back to this hopefully.

Last year I did some 5ks to have something to train for, went from 283 to 239 at my lowest.   I didn't have any goals this year so just maintaining around 248ish.

I want to start training for something again and I'm picking the triathlon that I never did.  It won't be a sprint one though, the goal is a Olympia level or half(I'll do a sprint one to prepare ahead of time) 

Training started today, just the run though.  My gym with the pool will be closed for a bit for a deep clean they do once a year so when that opens back up I'll start the swim snd I have to buy a road bike.

Run today: run 1 lap, walk 110m x 45 minutes.
Felt eh, threw my back out twice the last few weeks but my running laps I kept it at around a 9 min pace and ended with 3.9 miles.

Today at work I'll do my normal body building stuff.

I won't be headlining or bb heavy squats really.  I think my lower back is cooked for now so legs will just be leg extensions, curls and leg press.

To make it easier to track this will just be for my triathlon stuff.

Wow it's been awhile

Weight: 242 in the morning.  Been at this weight for a week or two.  I'm treating this week as like an off week as far as foods but I'm still staying around maintenance so I can hopefully jump start things again. 

Tomorrow will be back on the diet but more strict since I want to hit 220ish.

I did a 5k in the beginning of June and I ran with the chick from work and I still came in 3rd for my age group.  If I went off on my own I probably would have won.

I have another 5k on July 4th and I'd honestly like a 10k in september which being 20lbs lighter will help.

I'm still doing push pull days n squats n arms etc.  Still volume work.

Running is usually 6 miles a day on average.  I hit legs today so I'm walking for 2 hours.

Weight: 257.4

Hit a plateu for a bit at 260 so I'll see how the rest of the week goes.

I increased cardio and lowered my calories to 2700 and it seems like it worked.

Pretty much for everything it's 3 exercises 3 to 4 hard working sets

Yesterday I did chest and back
Incline Smith machine bench: 225x4x10 to 12
Cable press super set with flyes: 4 sets of 12 to 15
Push ups at different heights on the Smith machine( start high go to the floor and work your way back up)
Lat pull-down and low cable row: 4 sets each of 10
Modified seal db row 4 sets of 10, think I went to 50s

In the morning I ran for an hour and biked for 20 mins


Today I tried to run but my calves are sore so I ran for 20 mins now I'm walking the rest of the hour, I'll hop on the bike and stretch.

262.8

Today was cardio and stretching,  at work I will do chest and shoulders, mostly just for a pump, not looking to go to failure.  Tomorrow I'm running with the chick from work that I'm doing the race with.

Calories yesterday was about 2500 or so.  I didn't have a good fat source yesterday to get the rest of my calories but oh well.  I still hit my carbs and protein

I'm bad at this

Been working a lot, dieting and working out a ton.

Started: 282
Current: 263.8

My diet is just water with flavor packets
Ground turkey, beef, chicken(rotate them), rice, veggies, almond butter,  fruits

I stopped eating when I get home from work and yeah 3 or 4 weeks in and I'm down almost 20lbs and I've also put on lean mass everywhere.

My training splits are push/pull, squat, arms, push/pull, arms
One push day is chest the other is shoulders.

I'm also doing a 5k on June 3rd so I'm switching between running and biking since I had a tendency to overdo the running and hurt my hip n shit.  Also thinking about swimming too.
