Been one hell of a week. It is a rest day. Ill post updated pix and a log later today. Sorry for the absenteeism.

 

[SmallGains88]

Been a busy Sunday. Can't mow today thanks to the weather. Was still pretty productive around the house. Hung a new ceiling fan, repaired a dresser drawer and getting meal prep done for the week. You will notice that the daily macros are identical (slightly over on calorie goals). That is because for the first time, I prepped and ate the same thing, every day. Seems to have paid off on the scale. Still working on my physique. I have been told the mirror doesn't lie. Problem is, I still see the 400lb man I was in the mirror. Any way, below is my log, updated pictures and measurements.



Yes, I need to work on doing my fed BG and I missed a couple weigh ins, which is weird for me because that is usually one of the very first things I do after voiding. (TMI)



I see my shoulders getting larger and flatness from the side. Back is looking a little larger too. Also, I put on a 3x shirt for the first time in many years and it fits comfortably. This is a huge boost for me to be able to realize my progress. Looking forward to that 2xl. I hope I am doing these measurements correctly. I am relaxing and not flexing. Please let me know if I need to change anything.

Tomorrow is a full training day. Will post macros and movements tomorrow evening.

Hell yeah brother. Love the personal victories to keep the motivation high.

Just keep taking weekly photos. I was that way seeing the old me for a while. The pics definitely help bring it into perspective.

Keep grinding brother. Consistency is key.

Need some advice on a good way to record some of my workouts in the gym without being "that guy". Again. Apologies for being MIA so much recently. Life decided to kick me in the nads. The last couple weeks. Kept to the plan, hit my workouts and macros just did not log it.

how you guys drink so much water is beyond me-=--i have hated all it my life! been forcing myself past few weeks but only small cups at a time --several a day not much but for me its a shitload

It is not easy. I def have to force it most days.

i am slowly replacing coffee which has been my water for decades!

Like a damn full time job. I like the Propel water for some flavor and electrolytes

 

[SmallGains88]

Gotta be careful with that. Coffee dehydrates you. I use sugar free crystal light to help flavor my water when I need to. I also have electrolyte packets I use. 1st Phorm Electrolytes <<< I use these. I also use their protein. I haven't started using pre workout yet but when I do, I'll be giving them a go first.
