K, well, as usual my diet and exercise break turned into a pig-fest. Oh well, it really does help reset my metabolism (more than I need, hehe). It's like 3 little steps forward, one big step back. I'm getting where I want to go, but it's slow going 
Started back on new HST cycle yesterday, it's late right now and don't really feel like posting the routine, but it's pretty much the same as last one. Only difference is, I'm between gyms and it sucks. The one I was working out at closed and I want to join the YMCA 'cause of my family/kids, but I don't really have the money right now. The monthly payments aren't that bad, but they want a hefty joining fee up front. So, I talked the people at a new World Gym into a weeks tryout and that's what I'm doing now, but don't know what I'll do next week! Well, it will work out one way or the other.
Walked 4 miles around the neighborhood this morning and diet doing good so far this week. Am not going to do a carb-up this week. I've added a shake consisting of 1/2 cup cotttage cheese, 1/c scoop whey protein, 1/2 cup low-carb full fat milk, and 1/2 tbls dag oil to my diet at bedtime.

Hi Chip, I saw you picture above, keep up the great job you have done so far. I hope you can find soon a solution to the problem with the gym.
See you around

Just got good news, my wife brought an application we filled out for financial assistance at the YMCA (which is VERY nice/fairly new here) and she called to tell me a lady there gave us a 2 week pass and would extend if we hadn't recieved news on our application by that time. Much relieved to hear this, and optimistic that they will give us a break untill we get back on our financial feet.

Off day today, though like I said, no carb-up this week. This will be the first time in a very long time that I plan on staying on keto for 2 straight weeks. Less than a week and already lost all the pig-fest weight, back down to a little under 217 this morning. If I can keep this next 6-8 week HST and diet cycle clean, I am projecting very positve results!

That's what, around 50 lbs lighter.....that's a LOT of weight to shed, good job! You're looking good in your picture, and for your height 217 isn't bad at all Chip, especially since you have a lot of muscle. Makes a BIG difference and your face is really nice looking underneath all that fat. That came out wrong. I saw your before pictures, I thought you looked o.k. anyway, but now you're looking cuter than ever.....and isn't it awesome when your stomach actually starts looking good!!! YEAH!!!!
I'm glad you and your wife figured out a solution for the gym problem, (I hope that fee gets waived completely) Ya, it can be hard with kids, ( 4 LITTLE ones?!!!!) but sounds like you're going to make it happen one way or another - that was great, talking that other gym into a trial period - Way to go Chip!!!!!

Thanks Amy! Yep about 55lbs altogether . It's not an easy job takin' care of 4 kids, that's for sure. My wife is in restaurant management and works close to 60 hours a week, all hours of the day, so I'm like the "primary care person". I started a while back going to gym at 5am so I could get used to it because I knew I had to get a job to help with the bills (was on unemployment of a while, worked for 20 years for job I was fired from, so I got all I could out of 'em). Now I am working part time for termite exterminator (very tough manual labor at times), but still working out 5am every morning and coming home and taking care of kids. It's tough, but nobody MADE me have these children of mine and nothing in the world could make me give 'em up now!! And ,whatever happens, I do not EVER plan to go back to the shape I was in before unless I unable to move at all !!!!! |

Oh well, decided to do the carb thing for today anyway. I was hungry last night before bed and then waking up hungry, so figured I'd fill up on the carbs today so as not to give in to some bingeing this week  |

Walked in neighborhood this morning for 1hr 20min, a bit over 4.25 miles on empty stomach upon awakening. Going to do abs at home sometime later today and then it will be off to swimming and maybe picnic with the kids.

Those are kind of interesting workouts, so you just do one intense set on each muscle group then???
How's that going?
