weighed myself: 194.4 lbs in clothes (no shoes)

1. $200 for a pair of jeans?? Yikes. That buys a lot of protein powder. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

2. Starting weight's not bad for someone 5'11". What's your weight goal when all is said and done? I think it's important to have an end goal in sight. At 5'10", mine is 180 at <10% bf.

3. Chicken McNuggets? Dude, what were you thinking? No more of that or we'll have to seriously kick yer a$$! [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

1. Well, its 150 US (that was australian dollars) but yeah...expensive
2. Mine is 175 at <13% bf
3. I know I feel so bad!!! but god are they good...

K-Court · 02-22-2006, 09:49 PM

What is it about food that everything that tastes so good is so bad for you? It's simply not fair. (Not that I'm a McNuggets fan myself but I think chocolate cheesecake falls into that category as well .... [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img])

Great goal. Clearly achievable.

Way to go to push an extra inverval out there, Zach. What are you doing them on? Treadmill?

ZachL · 02-24-2006, 08:51 PM

I did them on the elliptical. I sometimes switch it up with the stair master. Thanks for so much support, K-Court!

ZachL · 02-25-2006, 06:03 PM

15 min stair master HIIT

felt not so good...drank a lot the night before.

ZachL · 02-26-2006, 10:54 AM

I think I'm taking the day off...my left ACL hurts (I had it reconstructed a year ago).

ZachL · 02-27-2006, 02:35 PM

did weights today. program felt good, upped my weight/reps in most exercises.

gave blood a little later, now feel pretty exhausted :/

I'm drinking lots of water, though.

K-Court · 02-27-2006, 02:54 PM

Nice going on the routine, Zach. How's the ACL feeling?

I just found out I have a hip flexor issue. Getting some physio on it atm. It's not debilitating but it hurts. The PT said I have to lay off squats for a bit. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Good for you for being a blood donor. I am a long time donor myself and organize drives at my office. It's a great deed you are doing! Good to see a young guy like you doing your part.

ZachL · 02-27-2006, 05:17 PM

hey kcourt. the acl feels good today. Once in awhile it just aches for no good reason. Nothing much I can do. Physical therapy is good stuff. My mom is in charge of a hospital therapy dept (psych/speech/physical) and my sis just joined the field, with a doctorate in phys. therapy. I guess I didn't want to feel too left out with my history degree, so thats why I got the CPT :P The blood donation sucked. I had an appointment for 11:15 and I didnt get started until 12. Really cut a chunk out of my day. Oh well, its a very good cause.

ZachL · 02-28-2006, 05:14 PM

knee hurt today, so no cardio :/
Just got to watch my diet closer, I guess.

ZachL · 03-01-2006, 11:10 AM

knee hurt pretty bad this morning, no weights :/
no point in going to my school clinic, they don't even have doctors. When I originally injured my knee I went there and the FNP testing my leg had no idea what she was doing and completely misdiagnosed my torn acl.

K-Court · 03-01-2006, 01:01 PM

Sorry to hear about the knee, Zach. Is there a doc you can get in to see?

ZachL · 03-01-2006, 02:45 PM

no one for free unless i go to the ER. It is across the street...

K-Court · 03-01-2006, 10:35 PM

Might be worth a shot if it doesn't improve. Though with something like that you'll probably be waiting a while in the ER to be seen.

ZachL · 03-02-2006, 09:22 AM

My leg feels better!!!!!!!!!!

I did 17 min HIIT elliptical with cooldown
5 min stretches

Buk · 03-02-2006, 09:33 AM

Awesome, lets hope it stays that way. Do you know what causes it to act up?
