Good for you man. I'm glad you found some variety. I just never really was a soda person... I will drink some seltzer water now and again, but if I want something with a fizz, it better be at least a beer LOFL.
My thing was the Snapple peach tea... had to wean off that shit for my own good

i used to drink a bunch of topo chicos but that shit is expensive now a days.
at the moment been drinking diet sodas, propel waters, and a little of those walmart clear american carbonated flavor waters.
not too many of those tho since they have calories, but my kids love them and they open them up and will put them back and leave like a small glass.
after awhile ill have like 8 of them that are just filled at the bottoms so sometimes i fill up a glass and finish and start tossing them.

i dont know what the fuck their problem is, but theyll drink 90-95%% of it and then let the rest sit. lol.

ill be celebrating my sons birthday on friday so maybe couple slices of pizza or 1 burger or something.

damn my biceps were screaming today, i was walking around with my bag in hand and had to set it down to rest.

finally got some damn good sleep last night, woke up a little early but knocked out wicked early too, ended up being better since i get a little extra time to eat and digest everything before heading out. not a bunch but 20-30 min. makes a difference when im not in a rush out the door.

foods idea today

I got me a free meal Friday too I’ll more then likely use it because I’m a fat fuck lol

 

[dcdogz]

I smash diet sodas like it’s my job lol not so much right now I might have 1-2 a day. But when I’m trimming weight off… sheeesh forget it lol I’ll house 4-5 a day.

Uhhh when I try to cut back I go to 4/5 a day lol
ive actually cut back a ton, and plan and really monitoring the intake as we get closer to cutting. just to keep everything stable.
plus $$$$$$ that shit is expensive.

I think i might do something like 3 naked popeyes tenders, and 3 regular ones then just my regular carbs. something like that, not exactly free but still fairly with in macros.
coach has giving me a few here and there in the past, and ive only taken them maybe once? most of the time I dont.

i was such a fat fuck, i dont want to ever go back or you know develop a bad habit or get that trigger back or whatever. Food was my drug of choice so, its like crack to me, and i have to be very careful lol.

the one good thing about that cruise was i was able to really stay firm in my self control, but at the same time hop back and forth between on diet and off diet.
kinda gave me a good confidence boost, since i started with coach i was just terrified of fast foods and things.
i think its important, beyond all the bodybuilding stuff, and goals id like to achieve, to have a good relationship with food.




195.2 pretty stable atm

man i fucking killed push today.

couldnt have really asked for a better lifting week so far. if it ends up being our last week of extra food, and we go to maintenance next week,
couldn't be ending better.
got one last lift tomorrow, with hams and thats always a banger so im not worried about it.
no bjj today since I stayed up a little late for my sons birthday.
didnt get a ton of sleep but was my fault, I messed up with the alarm, i thought i had turn it off, so i set one later, fairly late, but the early one went off so i hopped outta bed started getting ready then i noticed my watch. It was the wrong time! dammit. oh well. happens i guess.
luckily i wasnt too tired or worn out and the adrenaline had me raring to go so we went for it.

forgot all my cream of rice shit at work so had to adjust pre and morning.
for pre i just ate 2 ricecakes instead of cream of rice + caramel bites, and then minute rice post workout.
back at work so everything the same.

for my free meal probably just gonna get 3 blackened tenders, 3 regular tenders and use them to sub my proteins for my dinner.
then just have my regular carbs to go with it.
semi free semi not, a little happy medium for me.


i wanted to do other stuff like maybe a couple of pieces of breast and whatever but i just cant the calories and macros are absurd lol.
i know i used to eat that literally ALL the time, but idk how people do it now a days or how I even did that, and like not care at all.

im glad that part of me is behind me i guess. no looking back only forward!

Keep fucking going!!!

Prime example of having discipline, as the motivation won’t always be there.

195.2

thanks fellas! just doing what I can!
shits pretty hard but very rewarding.


so i believe will be ending the growth phase today. just finished checking in with coach. got a few weeks maintenance then 14 weeks prep.
i think mentally im ready. I think.

we ended the cut 168 lbs, and finished this growth phase at 195.2,
27.2 lb gain and very very little fat.

im so curious to see when we cut, what I was actually able to build this time, because I feel I made some SUPER solid improvements, biceps, calves, lats, back, delts and chest a bit.

hunger aint no big deal since im literally always hungry and have been for months now lol. so whats the fckin difference haha.

one adjustment ill be making as we really hit the prep mark is hourly/bi hourly movement steps.
gonna really try to up my step game in hopes of #1 shedding fat, #2 developing a good habit, #3 keeping busy, #4 hoping helps with fatigue a little and even possibly some cardio flex.

i know now that i have until about 3/4 pm and after that im just dead. no energy fatigued hard to do anything so hoping to push that a little f urther along as much as possible.
I did a little test this week couple of days just seeing how manageable it was and seems very very possible and easy to incorporate in while at work.

found a nice a little path that gets me exactly 1k steps from desk back to my desk and takes about 7-8min.
i can do 2 - 4 of those before lunch, and around 130 to 430 or 5 I can do it bi hourly. so should net me 8k - 12k extra steps just depending on the weather, and from what ive seen when i take my kids to tournaments, whenever i net 13k to 18k steps per day i definitely drop weight. either way wont really hurt me and only help i think.

as we get closer ill obviously run it by coach, since we've started ive never really tracked steps so ill be updating my check in log with them as we get closer.


well i know @Halfi didnt get his free meal but i did
normally dont take them, but I was a little curious how it would affect my weight and physique, and my mental state.
i had zero cravings yesterday, despite being starving so was perfect for me.
after i ate it there was no like, inner demon voice, asking for more or bad thoughts.

my discipline was in control, which as a former super obese dude, super important to me.
so after it was all said and done, was just another meal. little win for me.

regular tenders and some blackened ones, and my own mashed potatoes. they are brown because i put cinammon in them lol.

thanks bud! hoping to get like you when i grow up lol

Hell yah. DC is killin it

thank you to!

all of us making some lean gains, cant ask for more. process is the process, some go a little faster, some a little slower, but what matters is that youre happy and enjoying what youre doing and love how you look.

I’ve never had Popeyes before. Is it really as good as people say?

I’ve never had Popeyes before. Is it really as good as people say?

nah, its alright. it just kinda made the most sense for me and easiest to make work.

 

[dcdogz]

I’ve never had Popeyes before. Is it really as good as people say?

as a matter of fact, next time, if i ever get a free meal, probably just gonna increase carbs fat and protein a little and add to my regular foods.
id probably enjoy that way more hah.

Going into hold phase
Got my new macros and dropping everything but test and hgh.

Gonna clear out androgens water and healthy up for a few weeks. New macros Training 415 c 40 f and 250p.
Rest day same but 250p.

Didn't get cardio since I pulled bloods this morning. Was gonna hop on tread but weather nice so out for a brisk walk atm.

Took my son shooting for the first time had a blast.

Don't think I've been so stressed in a minute but did well.

So we gonna healthy up letting body recover a little and then into prep.

 

[dcdogz]

195.4

Great push with a little less volume
Was able to overload a bit since somethings went down to 2 sets or 1 even.

Although habits die hard did regular sets on oh shoulder press not thinking.

Was in the zone all good tho.

Cutting hack utensils secured
Gonna eat everything with chopsticks to eat slower lol.



Foods today

Basically just cut some cor post and breakfast and swapped to some potatoes

Protip
Microwave potatoes for like 4 5 minutes toss in air fryer for 6 - 8 minutes

Perfect little fry wedges.

On The phone today hard to post put up numbers maybe little later.

f inishing up the beef then switching to ground beef only and ground turkey to manage fats better.

Looking forward to your cutting phase to get some inspiration. I'm living off lettuce and cucumbers on my 100c days.

 

[dcdogz]

Looking forward to your cutting phase to get some inspiration. I'm living off lettuce and cucumbers on my 100c days.

Yep cucumbers and lettuce and some oats is the goat for 100c.

I never got that low but was kinda close-ish.
I'll be there in a few weeks lol. so I'll be seeing you soon! hah

I'm hoping via steps i can avoid extreme amounts of cardio but I'm sure physique will be the deciding factor and what's required/working and what's not.

My goal at start is at least 8k steps per day, which is double the amount of steps i normally get from when I put my watch on.

Slowly ramp up to 14k 15k steps a day after getting the habit down.

Im also hoping it will just keep me busy and not thinking about food.


I picked up a better tracker as well should come in next a week. Refurbished pixel watch 3 for 100 bucks.

Uncharted territory for me for sure.

Just got home and gonna head out for my cardio.

It's wicked hot 95f right now so being in the garage kinda sucks.

I'm used to it so not a huge deal but my cardio length isn't too long so I'd rather just be outside.

I walk in full sweats anyway so not much of a difference, but I feel like i can keep a faster pace outside anyway.

I hadn't gone in forever. That boy is wild.

Luckily another parent is an arms instructor and I felt comfortable going with him and his kids and went for it.

He's a really good teacher.

In no time my son had it down.
