Day 89 - Scrambling for trabajo!

so I am looking for work as this is my last week at Amgen, it looks like I found something good!

well, I had basically a 46 hour fast...

I did chinups and pullups at lunch

my dinner was a little higher in calories as I hadn't eaten in 2 days:

2 raw organic eggs
0.86 lbs organic grassfed ground beef (a small portion raw)
4 slices cheese
5 slices bacon
worchestire sauce/mayo/pepper plant sauce
2 tbs bone suckin' sauce

also, it appears as though my internal visceral fat has dropped to '9' on my Tanita scale

it was previously at '10'

I woke up at 192.8 lbs

I fasted all day, then did hill sprints at the Dish...

who knows where I am off to next?

I weighed in at 189.2 lbs before dinner

dinner was simple and 100% raw

I woke up at 191.0 lbs and hit the gym with Partha, Sudip, and Anusha

I visited my friend Partha at night and had some leftover (ok, a lot!) of ham and turkey...

then at home I had 3 raw organic eggs, bacon, sausage, and a desi omelette...

ugh!!!

dinner was zero carb

1 tbs raw butter
3 raw organic eggs

Wedding Weekend

so I woke up this morning at 190.0 lbs

so that is a loss of 12 lbs over the last 75 days - ok, but I will do better

to say the weekend was a blast would be a huge understatement

We had so much fun...

needless to say, I ate and drank all weekend, so I jumped back on the wagon on Monday!

this day was simple, I prepped and packed for the wedding weekend... and had simple dinner

so I had 10 tbs of raw butter all day...

I woke up, not quite as hung over as I should have been. Maybe it was the 7x distilled organic vodka.

Went to Men's WHouse and dropped $200 for pants, tie, and shirt, I should look pretty good
I am pretty ticked that I am still in a size 38 for a suit, really a 37, but o well


I hit the Dish with my girl and did hill sprints

hour and a half later I had my small dinner:

2 tbs raw butter
0.81 lb organic grassfed beef (raw)

at night went to a wonderful musical show, it was nice to get a bunch of compliments on me loosing weight, but I am still miffed over my suit waist size

My mother opened the show up with her students and then sang 4 nice songs, then the main artists came out and did some great numbers

some of my favorites were sung: Tere Mere Milan Ki and Yeh Kya Hua

tomorrow will be a fair dose of calories as I having dinner with my friend Bindu and lunch with colleagues, but it should be a good thrust into the fat fast for the following three days

Happy Diwali!!!

On this holiest of days, I wanted to say this to all my friends and family out there

Day 67 - crappy evening

so I was going to go home and chill, read, watch some tube...

instead I got a call from my girl to go and hang out, yes! she is great and fun!

as I near her place, I get the dreaded "oops, we have to go to IKEA now and drag heavy crap" call...

no seriously, that was the call!

so off to IKEA, blah blah blah!

dinner was late while watching CSI

spoonful of raw butter
1/4 raw organic grassfed beef w/Trader Joes Tapenade
4 chicken wings roasted w/garlic and black bean sauce

I put my carb count as around 10 grams

Day 66 - Panic!!!

so you may have seen my earlier post

my Cook Islands trip is back!

I promptly hit the hills and did sprints at the Dish

after an hour or so, my dinner was:

1 big spoon raw butter
2 raw organic eggs
1 lb prime rib

I am going to eat like this until Saturday, then some carbs, then zero carb Sunday, then carbs Monday... then clean until I hit the road for the wedding on Friday

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

so the Cook Islands trip is back on!

so - hill sprints and ketogenic diet for me!

I am so pissed! not that I am going on vacation... but that I am fat... well, let's see if I can do something about that over the next 6 weeks

Day 65 - Hungry!

I was tired today

I went to bed a bit too late, got caught up with the ol' CSI Miami

well, I got the hungry bug late in the day, so I ate a lot, granted it was one meal:

double dose of 'magic'

korean shortribs/rice/sides
bbcue links and beef, sauce, 2 slice bread, potato salad
shake: 2 scoops Grow!, 1 scoop Procore, 1 tbs super plasma

delicious but quite full

Day 64 - 2nd day of darkness

ugh!

I hate this daylight savings crap... the first workday with this horrid condition, it got dark too fast

well I fasted all day (surprise) and had a nice and nutritious meal

I am going to stop getting caught up too much in the scale and stop being stupid!

One of the things I am being stupid about is not getting enough protein consistently, so I am going to shoot for at least 140 grams per day.

so dinner was:

4 tbs raw butter
0.8 lb organic ribeye (seared)
3 tbs steak sauce

1 scoop each Grow!/Procore/JRobb whey isolate
1 tbs super plasma

Day 63 - Back on track

too much carbs this last week

My Sunday barbecue is a good place to start off my week right actually

My girl and I hit the Dish again, great! We did walk and hill sprints

in the afternoon, we just relaxed and I watched Pats/Colts game. It was a great game, I just wish the Colts had won.

My folks came over in the afternoon and relaxed while noshin' on homemade cookies and shrimp pakoras (with fresh chutney)

dinner was awesome:

4 raw eggs
0.8 lb ribeye
sour cream/horseradish
sauteed onions
sip of red wine
bunch of cheese

a little high in calories but it is good to the get the fat up while the carbs are super low

Day 62 - Chicken Biryani Time!

so what started out to be a little romatic homemade dinner for two turned into a not so romantic but equally fun dinner for five!

my girl made chicken biryani and shrimp pakoras (from scratch!) and we had our friends Brent and Loren over, my girl's roomie ate with us too, she is really cool as well

while my girl cooked and prepped I popped 9 Morph and hit the gym:

Dips

10 sets of 3 (yes 30 full bodyweight dips!!!)

Assisted Pullups

90 lbs x 4
90 lbs x 3 (9 sets)

Vertical Chest Press

100 lbs x 5

Barbell Front Raise (brutal!)

30 lbs x 5, 5, 7, 6, 5, 5

(33 reps total)

I popped some 'magic' and rest of the evening:

1/2 scoop Jay Robb whey
Shake (1 scoop each Grow!, Procore, Whey Isolate, 1 tbs super plasma)
raw milk
2 scoops Carb Powder

red wine
fish cake soup
