The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you’re a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds.

Day 7 and a happy Valentines to all

So I was reading through the forums over at MDA, and ran across a tremendous topic filled with great info on the reason that we can eat incredible, to the CW crowd, amounts of fat and lose large amounts at the same time.
Here is the link to it.

Happy V day to all my readers out there.

Todays breakfast was a delicious six egg, crab meat omelete with a healthy dousing of butter. So GOOOD.

Day 5

Wake up: 5:30am
IFing breakfast yet again, I think this may become the norm for me, just some black coffee.

Workout: 7am
On the rowing machine- 5 min warm up, 8 30 sec sprints (100% effort) with 1 minute (50% effort) in between, 10 min cool down.

Lunch: 1pm
Chicken and beef with bacon

Well today I fudged up on my diet some....gave into some chocolate and peanut butter, part of that 20%, but my body was not as big a fan as my tastebuds were. Oh well, stressing over little things is worse than the little cheats themselves; just get back on task tomorrow.

The funny thing is I am not all that hungry but I figure eat some more because today was a lifting day and I am already going pretty low on calories as it is. Maybe 24hr+ IF tomorrow into thursday.

Day 1 Fitness and Nutrition

Wake up: 5:30am

Planning to IF (Intermittent Fast) until lunch so my breakfast is just 3 cups of black coffee, I love the stuff; especially pre-workout, it really gets my engines revving.

Workout: 7am

Just a light 30 min row....I usually burn somewhere around the 400 calorie mark(according to the machine), just to give you guys a gauge on the intensity.
382 exactly today

Lunch: 1pm
1 grilled chicken breast with some veggies, butter, and hot sauce.

Dinner: 6pm
1 grilled chicken breast and some ground beef with bacon

Extra food: 7pm
3 eggs and some butter
Added this meal to get my fat intake up.

Day 1 stats

Starting Measurements
             waist:        30.5in around
             bicep        14.5in
             chest         roughly 37in
You will notice I have not included a conventional weight measurement as I don't really think the scale is all that great at calculating progress unless you also know your body fat %
