I was bummed that I only went down 3.2 lbs and I had a bad stomach ache.... don't know what is going on

so I popped 10 Humapro in the morning

then Progenex MM + 1/2 organic coconut milk (maybe the food will 'push' out whatever is wrong)

rest of the day Chained Out and 10 Humapro - 2x

Day 22 of New Progenex Challenge

so I am cutting my progenex way down until the 16th because of my singing performance, and because dairy jacks up my voice.... pretty standard singer's move

I should say dairy protein because I will be living a lot off of ghee, organic coconut oil, and humapro

so today

1 tbs organic purity farms ghee and 10 Humapro - 3 times

Calories: 417

97% Fat, 3% protein

0 carbs

feeling a little under but I will heal fast, just going to work out next hard on Friday am

challenge update

HI

because I am singing Saturday after next, I need to cut out my dairy proteins - this always clears up my voice

so I am only going to be having progenex this weekend both days, as I will be eating out both days...

after that I will be resuming the following Sunday after my performance

not a typo

the 3 sets of 3 I did with an additional 15 lb dumbell

the rest was in sets of 2, 3, and 4

took a look in the mirror this morning and wow! - my back looked pretty good, my love handles looked pretty bad though

today and tomorrow are rest days from the gym

calories will be high today, kill some cravings, plus going out at night for beers and food, going to try and go with 1 light beer

tomorrow will be a low cal day, just chained out and humapro and progenex more muscle and some organic ghee, calories will be about 400

Saturday, prob will have one meal out - then back to low cal Sunday through Tuesday

Wednesday will be dinner out with folks and almost certainly a lunch at work, Thursday and Friday 'clean' and low cal

Saturday - barbecue... and so forth

I promised Progenex I would let them know how this cycle goes for me

strength update: 2nd workout today

I couldn't wait to use my new Progenex

so I went back to the gym after work, this time near my folk's place

30 pullups, in sets of 2 and 3, in 26 minutes!

wow, this stuff is working!

took the More Muscle and Recovery afterwards, took the MM with a teaspoon of organic coconut oil

can't wait for 30 day update!

free free free (at last!)

so I got some free new progenex More Muscle and Recovery from Progenex

really nice of them

I'm sure it works (why else would they send it to me? I know that isn't entirely logical but I am an optimist)

I am keeping a log for the guy who gave it to me

so I am starting out at: 181.6 @ 27.2% BF

my plan is to use the More Muscle each day for 30 days and Recovery after my workouts

note - today is the 13th day in a row I have been using the old progenex again

strength update

so this morning I knocked out 30 chinups in 32 minutes - all with an additional 10 lb dumbell!

getting stronger and stronger!

strength update

so yesterday I did chinups, BUT all with an extra 5 lb dumbell

I did 30 in 32 minutes, 9 sets of 2, the rest singles

then did a close grip chinup with an extra 20 lbs, then another plain one

whoo!

trying to break the 177 plateau by end of next week

strength update

still doing good with chinups

today I did dips with a weight belt - 3 reps with 25 lbs extra!!!

hitting the progenex hard

waiting for my new progenex to come in next week

good update

so I finished a two day Chained Out and Humapro fast

yesterday, I even got up to 40 Humapro

I worked out, a scoop of WTF before I hit the pullup bar at my old client site

40 Chinups!!!

4 sets of 3
10 sets of 2
then 8 singles

took me 47 minutes

woke up at 177.0 lbs @ 25.0% BF, back is looking real nice

thinking about bringing the Chained Out down, don't like that many artificial sweeteners

hit the gym this morning after taking some con-cret

did the Bodymaster Incline Press - 30 reps, mostly in sets of 3 of 220 lbs, 1 warm up set at 210 lbs

really excited for next two months - I thinking I am going to do 2x CO/Humapro fasts a week - that is basically zero calories for two days, a great balancer... next weighin after tomorrow is in about 2 weeks

other than eating out - going to focus on eating goods, fasting, and working out really really hard

strength update

hit the gym

despite tiredness and junk yesterday

30 chinups in 22 minutes

37 total in 30 minutes

then I did 5 dips

more and more

21 more chinups

strength update

30 pullups in 32 minutes!

wrap up

ok, so last week was pretty crazy

over the period of Friday through the following Saturday, had SEVEN days of bad eating

a Chained out humapro fast on one day, a low carb day on another

put on 9 lbs as a result

went to Le Mar on Saturday for my mother's birthday

night before, went to Patxi's pizza for my buddy Loren's 40th birthday

trying for a 4 day Chained Out and Humapro fast

I did workout yesterday, tough - lost a lot of strength on the incline press, back down to 200 lbs

it was just one day :(

in short, Wednesday got railroaded by a bunch of food and lack of self control

yesterday was decent, but had to go out for mom's birthday

will retry this next week

Chained Out and Humapro Fast

so today is the first day of a 3 day attempt at a chained out and humapro fast

3-4 scoops of Chained Out a day along with 30 Humapro

workout planned for tomorrow

oxyelite pro and recreate use also planned

update

so I hit my all time lowest weight

177.0 lbs @ 25.7% BF

really happy - my next weigh in will be a few weeks from now because next week will be pretty slammed

and stronger...

so I repeated my pullup workout from Saturday morning

even better this time

I did 30 pullups, same sequence as before, pullup, neutral grip, chinup

this time I did it in 46 minutes, shaved off 9 minutes

in addition, I did 10% more overall

so 33 total in 50 minutes, the last 3 being single rep neutral grip pullups

I had a heavy dinner yesterday, meat, potatoes, eggs, egg yolks, half and half, and Warrior Milk, preceded by an anabolic pump

plan was to eat super light, but I went to the city and went to George's and had a dozen raw oysters and later at night had a 1/2 lb of ground chuck - still no more than 800 calories though I would say

and stronger!

did my first 30 pullup workout!

it took me 55 minutes

in singles and two rep sets

alternated between pullups, neutral grip, and chinups

quick update

getting stronger

I'm up to 230 lbs on the BodyMasters Incline Press

yesterday did a single rep barbell curl with 80 lbs

also today, despite a chest and shoulder workout this morning

I did 15 pullups over 30 minutes

and then 5 chinups split up 2 hours later

good stuff

strength update

so despite my weight up by 1.8 lbs

my chest got stronger, up to 220 lbs on the Bodymaster Incline Chest Press

so I am going all out now - I found some leftover TNA and Prime, why not?

also got some Recreate and Oxyelite Pro, why not either?

I can keep my cals low, but my protein high with my Chained and Humapro

post workout meal, only food for today

2 organic egg yolks (1 of them pastured)
3/8 lb ground beef - seared in tallow
scoop of super plasma with organic cinnamon

6 Prime
6 TNA
4 scoops Chained Out
30 Humapro

disappointing update

so I put back on the 1.8 lbs I lost from the week before!

that's what 3 full cheat days will do I guess... I didn't shy on the calories on the other days either

gonna keep it to only one day this week and/or several Chained Out and Humapro fast days

strength update

really psyched I did 15 pullups today in about ten minutes!

it was an impromptu workout at work

had a good eating day

breakfast and a dinner

eggs and smoked pork loin in the AM

dinner was eggs, bacon, sausage, ground beef, and super plasma with organic cinnamon

Chained Out: 4 scoops
Humapro: 30

update

so I lost 1.8 lbs since last Friday

low calorie - let's blast some fat off!

nice weekend and Predators!

diet wise first

Friday clean

Saturday lot of food, including booze at Adesso in Oakland

Sunday I made kabobs, turned out great

I also watched Predators - it was pretty darn good

will drive for meat!!!

so work was bogging me down so I trekked up to Oakland to Marin Sun Farms (yes, they have a branch there!) to get some ground beef

I also bought a small pork chop

got home and I had a zero carb meal

0.43 marin sun farms pork chop - fried in lard
0.75 marin sun farms ground chuck - a little raw and the most seared in tallow

1.19 lbs of meat

es todo

on a side note, this marin sun farms beef mixed with salt, black pepper, and dried minced onion is a fantastic taste - I could eat this raw, I mean the whole thing

Chained Out: 2 scoops
Humapro: 20 total

yummy!

I'm just flying high off my post workout lunch, hence the title of the post

but let's get to the workout first

pre workout took 3 RPM

Key Metrics In Workout

Bodymasters Incline Press, up to 200 lbs

Chest Press - 110 lbs

great lunch

took a pslin before eating

organic egg yolk
3 organic eggs scrambled in lard
4 slices of bacon
3 organic potatoes oven fried in lard and tallow
1 cup organic lowfat cottage cheese
super plasma + organic cinnamon

it was sooo good!

Chained Out: 2 scoops
Humapro: 27 total

interviewish Tuesday

so I went in for a chat for a possibly new consulting gig I may get

I did a workout first thing in the morning

my first time I used RPM, I used 3 of them

my strength is still going up

key metric

T-bar
105 lbs x 3: 10 sets

10 Chinups - 1 at a time still, but still!

before my interview I had an organic raw egg yolk and 3 organic eggs sunny side up in lard

late dinner

0.72 lb Marin Sun Farms beef - a touch raw, but the rest seared, mixed with minced onion
2 spoons of WFN mayo
8 oz mushrooms sauteed in tallow and lard

tomorrow I am looking forward to a great chest workout and then a meal of eggs, cottage cheese, and potatoes

Chained Out: 4 scoops
Humapro: 25 total

in transition

so my brain is working around the clock, trying to get my next new gig

this is the price of consulting I guess - everything should go fine though (I firmly believe)

I ate really well again today

I really want my weight and fat loss to zoom so I am doing things (or not doing things) that probably don't affect my fat loss but as I like to see the scale go down on certain days I will avoid the super plasma protein as it is a liquid protein

now tomorrow I will be working out so I will definitely have the super plasma during my post workout meal

today I had a single meal

2 organic egg yolks - raw
8 oz ground beef seared with dried minced onion
8 oz organic mushrooms - sauteed in tallow

Chained Out: 3 scoops
Humapro: 25 total

world cup final

Spain beat Netherlands 1 to 0

wohoo!

and I ate perfectly as well a great day

rest day

I am looking forward to a great workout tomorrow

doing a rest day today while I work (a lot)

started out my day with Chained Out and 10 Humapro

3 hours later

1 organic egg yolk - raw
2 organic eggs sunny side up in bacon fat
4 slices of bacon

4 hours later

Chained Out and 10 Humapro

dinner

1 sunny side up organic egg
piece of flank steak seared in tallow
4 slices of bacon


5 Humapro before bed

2 scoops of CO and 25 Humapro total

187.2 lbs @ 26.8% BF

2 in a row (Maui in 6 months)

ok, so got a second decent diet day in a row

had a great chest workout

key metric

Dips: 10 sets of 5

Chained Out and Humapro before and after workout and before bed

(2 scoops and 30 Humapro)

dinner was a little heavier than yesterday

I took a pslin before

0.4 Marin Sun Farms beef - raw
2 organic scrambled eggs
good amount of organic red potatoes
5 slices of bacon
20 grams of super plasma with organic cinnamon

so if I go to Maui in January, that will be 6 months for my mythical in shape proposition

thinking about just doing Chained Out and Humapro tomorrow, if I do a meal it will be small and the goal is zero carb

you know what, I am going to plant the mental seed for my meal right now:

2 organic egg yolks
1/3 lb ground beef - seared
20 grams super plasma + organic cinnamon

approximate calories: 600

trying a little something...

so I found some p-slin in my room

I popped one of those before my daily meal

but before that I hit the gym after a weekend of decadence

I did back

key metric

T bar: 100 lbs x 3: 10 sets

Also, 3 chinups (not in a row though)

Barbell Curl: 55 lbs x 11 + x rep

Chained out and Humapro before and after my workout

20 grams super plasma protein with organic cinnamon

4th of July

I had a great weekend in the city

I ate too much, what else is new?

192.5 lbs on my parent's scale

considering what I ate, that's actually pretty good

maybe the Humapro and Chained Out are helping

good eating day and good working out

so my girl left for home today

miss her already

I had a great back workout

had 2 raw organic egg yolks and 0.37 prather beef, raw
had a scoop of super plasma

later in the day I polished off a pound of trader joe's ground beef and 4 slices of bacon and a spoon of wilderness family mayo

30 Humapro

Effective Protein: 308 grams

quick summary of last few days

I flew back into town

didn't eat great before I left Minnesota

but I did eat simpley, meat and potatoes Friday and Saturday

had my first workout on Saturday and again yesterday

ate and drank yesterday at Scott's

so today is going to be low carb/primal for next 5 days

Saturday will be booze and food

small dinner day

was able to fight off cravings today

single meal of 2/3 lb thousand hills beef - raw along with a spoon of organic ghee

Humapro: 20

Got my Humapro!

so yesterday was bad, let's not even talk about it bad

as in Smashburger, chocolate and vodka bad

but I got my Humapro by ALRI

so I threw down 5 immediately

plan is to do 20 per day

no need for protein shakes for now

will just eat meat to burn off the chub

Minnesota: finally!

yeah, clean day

just 2/3 lb grassfed beef

Minnesota: oh my, awful

last couple of days have been full of bad food and a lot of booze tonight, but I had fun

clean tomorrow

Minnesota: At least one right foot

so I woke up early, and despite where food may be for me actually

took a scoop of Jack3D and did raised Perfect Pushups

145 total, wow - over 1 hr 29 minutes with a break during the Argentina vs South Korea World Cup game

Progenex MMuscle/ON whey + Recovery

Minnesota: Not again!

well

I meant to fast, but we had a visitor from our client site and diet disaster again

to mitigate it, I am fasting tomorrow for my Grandmother's Puja

also, I'm going to workout and throw down a Progenex

had a Progenex MM + ON Whey

then 2 ketel one gibsons

soup and bread
walleye sandwich and fries

2 scoops of ON whey
scoop of Biotest Superfood
2 yogurts
dark chocolate

Minnesota: Feeling a touch better and Go Celtics

I know the Celtics will have a hard time, and that the Lakers will win game 6 and 7, but maybe, just maybe I get to see Kobe pissed off one more time, please please please

so I woke up, another 0.6 lbs lighter

had a decent back workout, threw in some bent over lateral raises to work the anterior delts

threw down a Progenex MM + Recovery

pretty challenging day at work

disastrous finish to my day

had a scoop of ON whey and fish oil

then had 2 glass of cabernet and a vodka gibson at the bar, along with fried walleye fingers and pretzels

then a Chipotle chicken burrito, chocolate, organic strawberries, and two yogurts

... and one more glass of wine!

just going to fast today

Minnesota: Damn this rain

this weather totally sux

well, I did some reading on Vitamin D today a la Dr. Eades

4 oz wild smoked salmon
spoon of ghee

so a low calorie day of about 1000 calories

despite throwing down about 3100 calories yesterday, over half of that being a pint of organic pastured cream, my weight went down 0.6 lbs

would like to go to bed early today, then wake up early to workout and throw down a progenex

Minnesota: Ironman 2 and NBA Finals and Trueblood

so today, woke up still feeling the cold

still worked out though, no Jack3D though as I need to sleep maybe week after next when I get the beef thing back

Perfect Pushup

Did 130 in 1 hour 3 minutes

downed a Progenex MM + Recovery

then went to the Mall of America to watch Ironman 2, didn't like it that much

came home and felt really sore, so I popped another More Muscle mixed with a half a scoop of ON Whey

dinner was 5 organic raw egg yolks, 2 scoops of ON whey mixed with Biotest superfood, 4 oz of smoked wild salmon, finished off with a pint of organic cream mixed with 1.5 scoop Jay Robb protein

went for a nice 2 mile or so walk today

came back - was happy to see I am slowly getting leaner and more muscular, bicep vein pretty visible, forearms are bigger

0.96 lb Prather Farms ground beef, some raw, some cooked in tallow with organic mexican spices

excited, I ordered the new More Muscle product by Progenex today

Wedding Sunday and the aftermath

so got up in the morning like at 4!

was tired but had a nice low carb breakfast

2 organic pastured eggs, sunny side up in lard
1 hot sausage
1 scoop whey isolate

hit the gym, did some more lat pull downs, bicep barbell curls, and chest

4 scoops warrior milk with organic half and half and coconut cream

wow, what a 2 days

so Friday was the big rehearsal dinner

it went really well

Jen's parents thought I was half decent

looking forward to her sister's wedding tomorrow

so my diet yesterday wasn't the best

but I went right back on the plan today

hung out at the Beer Olympics then came home and ate

2 organic pastured egg yolks - raw
1.27 lb bone in ribyee - seared in MSF Tallow

no salt - so zerocarbage style

that's it - off to bed!

huge day tomorrow - plan is to go right back on diet on Monday... if I do fall off, it's ok, just go from Tuesday

busting through the plateau!!!

so I am at my lowest weight again:

177.6 lbs @ 25.1%BF

I popped some con-cret and hit the gym in San Ramon - 24 hour Fitness

Did lats and chest

Freemotion Lat Pull Down
120 lbs x 8
140 lbs x 3: 5 sets
160 lbs x 2: 5 sets

Dips

with 17.5 lbs, 5 sets of 3
then 5 dips immediately after last set
then another 5 dips

Free Motion Chest
100 lbs x 5...

threw down a progenex shake + 6srg + a scoop of Metabolic Drive

dinner was simple and 100% raw

3 organic pastured egg yolks
2/3 lb Holding Ranch ground beef with organic mexican spices and real salt

About 135 grams of protein

Calories = approximately 900

really happy, even with these low calories

so I love my girl

there I said it (about a million times to her though)

I am learning that I won't wither away with low calories, and that I can afford to it

actually we all can, we have tons of stored bodyfat on us - important thing is to access it and let your body go to town

I'll be going back to my progenex tomorrow morning after my workouts, on days I don't workout, I will just fast or keep calories to around 400 to 900 calories

it's amazing, fasting the whole day is really hard, but a small vlc to zero carb meal is fantastic at blunting the effects of hunger

really testing this Adonis Effect thing - if I don't need a calorie surplus, then I workout a lot to build up my chest and shoulders, and still lose fast super super fast...

so workout planned for tomorrow

let's see - perhaps some incline dumbell press, dips, T-bar, and some squats to finish stuff up

and then again on Saturday

do a pure military press and squats workout shall we?


will take Sunday off - will see how I feel on Monday

even if I workout on Tuesday (assuming I don't fly out to Minnesota) - I can go with no beef by just eating some extra protein powder and a dozen egg yolks

so single meal today of about 500 calories, all raw

2 organic pastured egg yolks
0.53 lb Prather Ranch sirloin tips with organic cumin and turmeric

had this pretty early in the morning to fight off cravings and to get my food done for the day

tomorrow hopefully will be a progenex in the AM, and then egg yolks/steak for dinner

too rainy and cold to fast...

it's cold and rainy

but I still worked out today

focusing on bodyparts that I like on myself

walked into the Fremont 24 hour fitness and did 51 dips!
in sets of 5

dinner was zero carb

2 organic pastured egg yolks
1/3 lb Holding Ranch Beef - raw
3/4 lb ribeye steak cooked in tallow

approximately 1100 calories

oh yeah, woke up at 181.4 lbs @ 25.4% BF

Monday Meaty Monday (with a medium side of fries)

yes, I'm tired and can't think of clever titles, so sue me

very mellow day, sitting in my condo

popped a magic before hand

2 raw organic pastured egg yolks

1.06 lb of Prather Ranch ground beef mixed with seasoning and fried in tallow

a bite raw though

1 russet potato in tallow and grilled onions


raw, most seared in tallow

yummy!

gonna workout tomorrow

going to rip off the rest of this excess flab in no time

I'm going to use fasting and not go super denial...if I want some carbs, then potatoes...

Sunday Meaty Sunday

just hung out mellow with my girl on Sunday and watched a little basketball

despite a few cravings, I stuck with the plan

I didn't do the no salt thing as I brought ny strips from Minnesota that I already slathered with real salt and Lundy's beef seasoning

OMG, they were delicious

I stuck it in the nuwave for 5 minutes and then seared it in Marin Sun Farms Tallow

before I had the steak I took a few raw bites of Holding Ranch Beef, I used it to make a nice mexican fry up for my girl

Minnesota Trip 4: Day 17 (Below 180 Before Flying Home!!!)

well, what a morning

woke up at my lowest weight ever since college!

also, reducing exercise, yes I know, tough...

going to do a full body workout on Sunday

also, besides the fat burners, I am going to dump the supplements (except for Vitamin D) for now until I get the Dr Rons iodine and sea vegetable product

so just a raw 1 lb ny strip

Minnesota Trip 4: Day 14 (couldn't do it)

I slept pretty well last night, didn't watch too much tv

went through the fast - felt like forever, but just started day 2

just water again today, not counting quarts as much as I will go by feel - yesterday I stopped drinking water at 3pm and was using the restroom into the night

Dumbell Shoulder Press 35 lbs x 8
Dumbell Squat 50 lbs x 3
Shrugs 50 lbs x 12
Dumbell Shoulder Press 40 lbs x 6

Dumbell Squat 50 lbs x 3

Shrugs 50 lbs x 12

Dumbell Shoulder Press 40 lbs x 5

was breathing hard when I finished

this short whole body workout was done to boost GH and to preserve muscle mass and remove any fear of not eating and just keep on burnin' goo

ok, so I just got too hungry, so I went to whole foods in St. Paul and picked up 6 lbs of ny strip and 6 dozen pastured eggs, that will be my food for the next 6 days

weighed myself in at 181.2 lbs @23.7%BF before dinner

dinner was simple, all raw, simply 1/6th of what I bought

12 organic pastured egg yolks

1 lb ny strip

Minnesota Trip 4: Day 13 (Day 1 of 3)

man, really wish I didn't get into that tussle last night

surprisingly, I slept decently

well, aiming for a 3 day water fast

I will maintain no matter what the consequences

I know I have reserves

I have had plenty of protein and fat, especially the last two days

the studies are there to indicate no metabolic slowdown

doing a shoulder workout tomorrow (maybe even some shrugs) to keep my muscle mass intact

I did a weigh in before dinner, 185.2 lbs

had a scoop of progenex growth, 4 srg, and 2 scoops of Warrior Milk

went to Byerly's and bought some groceries


1 tbs organic ghee
2 organic egg yolks
4 oz thousand hills summer sausage
block of cheese (raw and regular)
1/2 lb thousand hills ground beef - raw
4 oz wild smoked salmon
4 scoops of Warrior Milk mixed with 5g of organic cinnamon

Total Protein = approximately 200 grams

Calories: approximately 2000

plan for tomorrow, progenex/warrior milk after workout and then raw beef and egg yolks for dinner - that should help my body composition a lot

goal is to workout 4x a week as long as I am in MN

past few days

Monday was a high protein day with a bunch of potatoes for a late brunch

Tuesday had no carbs except for ones with organic coconut milk, medium protein

Wednesday: MS Farms Tallow and Prather Ranch sirloin (0.54 lbs) and 1/2 lb Holding Ranch ground beef, started with kelp supplement

wow, what a weekend

jeez

Colin's bday for his 40th

Brent's bday for his 43rd

Results of 12 Days straight

drop of 8.5 lbs

that's right

Minnesota Trip 3: Day 12

fasted all day

0 calories

flew home, got in late

Minnesota Trip 3: Day 11

couldn't sleep last night and went to Byerly's late


was really hungry, had a breakfast at like 6 in the morning, right after I knocked out Incline Perfect Pushup, 40 - I think I will get up tomorrow and work out again



not raw - but total carb count = 27 grams (of course I popped an Anabolic Pump before I ate)

1 organic pastured egg yolk
1 can coconut milk
12 oz 100% grassfed summer sausage
0.19 lb raw cheese

total calories approximately 1900 calories

at night

anabolic pump
1 organic pastured egg yolk
0.32 lb raw cheese
brick of pate
4 sweet peppers

3100 calories for the day

fasting tomorrow

that means I will have made it through the trip, not exactly as planned, but with no true cheat foods and an additional fast day

next week, may try a 3 day water fast between Tuesday and Thursday, or at the very least Tuesdays and Thursday - also going to keep to 2 meals a day, rather than three, including post-workout protein

at the very very least, 2 fast days - Tuesday and Thursday

Minnesota Trip 3: Day 10

simple - no food today

fasted

Minnesota Trip 3: Day 9 (High Calories)

real simple, sleep is not going too well

stay strong, just had some extra Vitamin D with dinner, that and extra ubiquinol

simple dinner - tomorrow I am going to fast, yup - paying attention to Brad Pilon, I have stores, shouldn't be a problem at all

100% raw early supper

2 organic pastured egg yolks
6 organic egg yolks
3/4 lb grassfed ribeye
organic cinnamon

I was starving at night as I had to work late - I almost caved but I opted for high saturated fat, low carb, high satiety, high calorie as I am fasting today

1/3 lb gorgonzola
brick of pate (so so good)
can of coconut milk
2 scoops of GNC Wheybolic

given that my supper calories were about 1300 calories, my late night 'snack' was about 2000 calories!

my total for the day was about 3300 calories - so I am trying to fast for the next three days, will see how my rings feel

Minnesota Trip 3: Day 8

went to work today

knocked 101 medium wide grip Perfect Pushups, in 30 minutes!

Minnesota Trip 3: Day 7

today was a little different, didn't cheat at all, just had more protein

my face is looking angular, I don't feel that ugly

did a bunch of pushups during the day and before I ate

I had to work today and I actually did pushups during work

Minnesota Trip 3: Day 5

so I went to a Perkins today with colleagues, just had iced tea

went to Byerley's... was about to cave and get potatos, but bough 4 cans of coconut milk and a can opener and ran out

dinner was simple

100% raw

I did pop and Anabolic Pump due to the slight carbs in the coconut milk

Minnesota Trip 3: Day 4

so my burn is feeling better, or maybe I am scared not to work out

decided to do incline pushup, basically my Perfect Pushup, with my feet on a small cushion

knocked out 101 total

80 in the morning, and 21 in the evening before dinner

dinner was great and 100 % raw

0.88 lb grassfed ribeye

simple meal, a little higher in calories as I was hungrier and was craving fat

100% raw

0.92 lb ny strip
5 organic pastured egg yolks
organic cinnamon

again, got into the first of the new belt notches

Minnesota Trip 3: Day 2

first day on site at Wuxi, didn't sleep well but had to stay on diet as I don't have any other food :)

I probably should have brought my Warrior Milk, and taken a swig here and there, or any other good protein like Nitrean or Jay Robb, but o well - gotta just keep losing weight

what was nice was that my rings started swinging around my finger again, just after 1 day! can't wait for the whole 12 days

single meal at dinner:

100% raw

1 organic egg yolk - pastured
1.03 bison ribeye
organic cinnamon

work with me, Minnesota Trip 3

ok, so my plan is for the next 11 days, only raw beef and a few egg yolks

on my flight day home I will be fasting

so I flew in today and had a cab driver from Djibouti

he drove me to Wh0le Foods in St. Paul - 65 bucks, not bad considering how much great steak and pastured eggs I bought

dinner was great

0.89 lb ny strip
2 organic egg yolks - pastured from Vital Farms
organic cinnamon

my goal is to drop about 10 lbs over the next 12 days
