This challenge starts approximately 1 month after I got back on the health wagon. In 2004 I weighed 245 lbs. Through the MH forums, lurking here at JP, the Abs Diet book and a couple of 52 day challenges I worked my way down to 190 lbs. in about 9 months. I more or less maintained that weight until last September. At that time I had a job change which really threw off my routine. Unfortunately I enjoyed being off routine quite a bit. I ate and slothed my way back to 215. In April my mood and energy level were crap. I found a new gym and jumped back into NROL which I had used in my last few months prior to falling off the wagon. This challenge comes right about the time I'm hitting my stride with my diet, finishing my Break-In and planning to start FL-1.
Nutrition
I do not follow a particular program other than the "it worked before program." I will eat approximately 1800 to 2000 cal. per day. I shoot for 200 gm protein per day from lean meat, eggs, and whey and some low fat dairy. I believe I am very carb sensitive. Simple carbs and even whole grains make me feel sluggish. I try to keep my carbs less than 100 grams a day almost exclusively from fruits and vegetables. I do like to drink a Gatorade/Whey shake during and after weight training. The rest of my calories come from fats. Mostly olives and olive oil, Natural PB, nuts. I am also a cheese freak. I try to stick with 1% cottage and part skim Mozzarella but I don't worry about eating cheese if it fits in my calories for the day. The above numbers basically give me around a 45P/25C/35F ratio which as I said "worked before." I may not be exact on these numbers but I'll be in the neighborhood. I track my diet at Dr. Wheatie's Fitday Log
I plan on eating clean and sticking to the above 110 out of 122 "1/2 day increments."
Fitness Goals
I am starting NROL FL-1 on 6/4/07. (I have a mild compulsion that I can only start a new routine on a Monday. ) I will be doing FL-1 for 6 weeks with 3 workouts/week and starting FL-2 after a week off. I will also be doing some HIIT (treadmill and bike) and some SS cardio (road running.) I sat down with my calendar to really nail down my goals based on the above and the June 1-Aug.1 challenge dates. Here are my goals.
I weighed in today at 208 lbs. I also did a single Accu-Measure caliper reading showing an estimate of 22% BF ( I realize a single skin fold doesn't necessarily give an accurate BF% but I'm fairly good at using my Accu-Measure calipers and I use it as a measurement of progress rather than actual BF%) I would like to lose 15 lbs. AND maintain my lean mass during this challenge so my final goal would be...
Weight 193 lbs at 16% BF by my single skin fold measurement.
(I think I did the math right.)
In addition, a more personal goal. This challenge spans 9 weekends. My secondary goal will be to attend mass all nine weekends.
Competitive Goal
At my peak fitness level I was running 3 to 4 miles fairly easily. I plan to enter and finish a 5K race if at all posible.

Got my nutrition goal in today. Ala 52day challenges I'll post my nutrition goals here in "acheived/possible/planned" format. Since I got in 2 half days out of 2 half days possible so far and I plan on 110 it's...
NG 2/2/110
I did an HIIT today so posting these in achieved/planned format...

Welcome doc! Nice goals ... I can't wait until my kids are a more manageable age so I can get back to Mass weekly ... I know it's not an excuse, but they are so awful that it makes it a rather stressful event!!! I would prefer to just go alone, but that never seems to work out! I loved NROL ... you'll love the butt-kicking simplicity of FL-I ...and II is even worse ... in a good way

NG right on today. Unless I stop at Taco Bell on the way home.
NROL FL-1A Today. I don't have nearly as much trouble with A as I do with B. Reading other threads that seems to be the consensus. Maybe I need to ratchet it up a bit on A.
Best news. I found a competitive goal event. A 5K right in Chillicothe. Just have to be ready by June 23rd.

NG planned for 1 point today. Maybe cut loose a bit too much. Chicken Wings and Onion Rings at Quaker Steak and Lube. And then the killer...Coldstone creamery Banana ice cream with walnuts and coconut.
HIIT run up and down my hill.
NG 17/20/110
RT 3/22
HIIT 3/18
SS 1/8
Personal Goal: Attended Mass. 2 for 2 so far.
Decided to weigh in today due to planned "nutritional deviation" Scale said 207.5. Was not particularly happy with .5 pound loss. Yes I feel better, clothes fit a bit better already, but was really looking for better weight loss. Probably contributed to cutting loose a bit too much. Oh well, right back at again.

Bad day today. Felt grumpy. Did ok on my NG until dinner (Got 1 point). Ate out at Red Lobster. I had grilled shrimp/scallops and broccoli. All fine and dandy until I had a weak moment and finished off the kids Mac and Cheese. That lead to a "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot" night of Cheerios, Cheez-its, and a couple cookies.
No workout. I am the type if I don't get that workout in the morning it probably won't happen.
Just write it off as a bad day. Jump back in June 15th.

Good plan, get back into it. At least you had a good time out with the family, right? No need to worry over it. You're well on you way to success. How are the BSS going now with your modifications? I was thinking this was you... of course, I may have you mixed up with someone else. It may have been in the TnR thread.... hmmm.... maybe I need to start some Namenda.

NG good today. Low on calories. Very busy day at work. No time to eat.
NROL FL-1B I've got the BSS down now. Better back foot placement. Now I've transferred my hatred to the Swiss Ball lateral roll things. Just can't get the hang of it.
Good workout. I got angry picturing my face covered in Oreos and raised my weight on DL's, DB presses and the infamous BSS's. I've finished 3 of 9 A and B workouts. Very much looking forward to 12 reps instead of 15.

Much better on the BSS. I've got my foot placement down and I seem to do much better with a slight backward motion with the squat. Really feel it in my glutes and quads. nailing down the form and with my Oreo induced anger I went from barely finishing 3x15 with 10 lb DB's to doing a solid 1x15 with 10's and 2x15 with 15's.

Anger can sometimes be a real motivator -- way to go on using in constructively!
