My scale won't stop telling me 193 so I'm not going to argue with it.

Haven't posted here in a while... apparently I've lost weight since going back to school. I've been eating like 5-6 small meals each day so just by virtue of that I've slimmed down.

Weight- 170

Lifts have stagnated, except today I hit a deadlift PR of 275. Nearly passed afterwards though.

Time for me to get back on track. No more cake or other crap that I've been eating. I'm still hovering around 195 so I want to lose those last 10 pounds ASAP!

Man most of you all are lightweights

After vacation in june I hit 260lbs. and had enough so I cut out bread and cookies and junk now I'm 230 and want to get to 200 but it is slow going at age 53 even while working out. Keep up the good work!! (ice cream is my downfall!)

just imagine it's a human excreta. that should keep your hands off it and feel disgusted at the same time.

Pentaxor · 09-30-2010, 06:24 PM

update:

no activities for today. rest day, need to heal my muscles plus no time today. very busy.

jct us101 · 11-14-2010, 09:16 PM

This thread could use a fresh dusting.

I'm still at 193 pounds, went back up close to 200 for a month but I'm back on track now.

A fun (sarcasm) workout my trainer sent me to do today:
Warmup:
Jog 1st-5th (two times)
50 Pushups
50 Situps
50 Bodyweight Rows
50 Summo Squats

Workout: As Many Rounds As Possible in 20 minutes of the following (you should shoot for a MINIMUM of 8 rounds)
1 - 10 Eight Count Bodybuilders
2 - 15 Two Handed Swings (use the 30 lb KB)
3 - 20 reps of abs (your choice of abs, you can also change every round if you want)

Cool Down:
50 Regular Bodyweight Squats
50 Bodyweight Rows (with your palms facing up this time)
50 Dips
50 Situps
Jog 1st-5th (two times)

I remain convinced he is confused as to the purpose of the a warm-up and a cool-down *sigh*
