I've been trying to make a new diet work for several weeks now. Its ~1800 calories a day, and very regimented. However, I'd been fucking off pretty bad on the weekends. The diet was good enough that I had gained weight though! And that was being totally out of the gym trying to get my explorer running again. So as of last week I'm back in the gym, AND sticking to this diet 7 days a week instead of 5. Last Monday I weighed myself at 231 and FREAKED THE FUCK OUT! I then went back in on Tuesday, tried several different scales, and read 225 which makes a lot more sense. As of yesterday 8/11/10 I am 223. Considering the all day beer binge that took place on the river this past weekend (oops!) losing 2 lbs shows that this diet flat out fucking WORKS. Here's hoping I can actually stick to it. In all honesty, its not that bad. Everything is pretty edible except my lunches of relatively flavorless chicken breast and raw spinach. As an added bonus my friend and I have a wager: first person to see their abs gets a pit bitch for 5 trackdays. Considering I'm at ~30% BF and he's at ~ 18%..............I've got my work cut out for me!

General life update

I figured I'd post a general life update as I sit here drinking my preworkout and watching hour 19 of Le Mans. Training: I'm drinking preworkout on a sunday morning because I've found a new olympic weightlifting coach, and I see him on saturday and sunday morning, and then he programs for me MWF.  I then program for myself some cardio on Tuesday.  I mentioned that in my previous blog, but figured I'd put that here for completeness. Competitive shooting:  dovetailing with my training because I want to start doing tactical games, I have been doing most of my cardio as runs with my plate carrier as that'll be something that shows up in the tactical games.  As far as the shooting goes...well...I've been to the range once, and it was BAD.  My pistol game needs lots of work.  I have a 3gun match this month which will give me some practice, but I need to get to the range too. I've ordered some rubberized grips that I hope will help me hold onto the damn pis...
