You guys must be missing the "T" out of "GTL"

We had "T" here once upon a time... but then the big pasty corn-fed girls found out about it. All the beds are broken, and the stand-up units smell like sweat and melted butter. Terrible state of affairs.

Woke up feeling pain this morning. Changed my workout last week to shorter breaks in between sets. Before i've always lifted heavy and took 2 minute breaks in between each sets. Now i'm lifting 10lbs lighter then what I was previously at and last week to a 60 second rest and this week 50 second and next week it'll 40 all the way down to 30 and then i'll start back at 60 but at a higher weight.

Good news started off the week around 216 and i'm going to most likely say hello to my friend Mr. 213 tomorrow. If I can manage to lose 1% body fat a week i'm going to be in great shape come Invasion time.

Plateau: phase of stagnation, a phase in mental or physical development during which little headway is made. Keep pounding man, keep pounding!!! Great job. Me: my body said, go back to bed at 5am this morning. My mind said, get your lazy, fat ass up and do shoulders,arms, & ab ripper X. The mind controls all.

It's amazing how much the body tries to get you not to do things.

Anybody here do CrossFit? I would love to do it but can't afford it, but i've seen some pretty great results. A buddy of mine does CrossFit Virtus and in 6 months have lost about 100lbs. He's actually now my inspiration to lose weight. He also does the Paleo diet. I'm not about doing some kind of "designed" diet. I eat what is healthy and full of protein and make sure I stay under 1500 calories.

Which is healthier - melanoma's nothing to take lightly.

I'm going to be in Cabo for a week in late April, so I'll get a decent tan there and will try to keep some color between that and mAyOD, so I should be OK.

As for the "G" part - I've been sick for most of the past week and haven't worked out, but have kept the diet clean for the most part. I dipped under 220lbs for the first time in years, so I'm stoked. I start PhaseIII of P90X on monday - 4 weeks of intense workouts followed by a recovery week and then I'm done! I'll likely get a cardio workout in this friday, core on saturday, and Kenpo on sunday as well.

Weighed in this morning and the scale said 15 lbs down and I can visibly see more muscle mass.

On third down until my Vegas goal with three months to spare.

I effed up last night. Got really effed up and we ended up making a late night Taco Bell run ugh. Caught a cold today so I couldn't "work" it off to make myself feel better about it.

Coming up on the 10 week mark in a couple days people.. hope you all have been pushing it in the gym and the kitchen!

It's looking like I should be on track for opening ceremonies @ Tao Beach even with the setback of neck/shoulder spasms that took me out of working out/dieting for 3 weeks. Really gonna regret not taking 'Before' pictures because my 'After's should be pretty badass

Week 3 Monday Morning weigh in has me at 216, which i think is a lie because I had a couple glasses of wine on saturday and wanted to see the effects so i weighed myself Sunday morning and was 214. So not sure how 2 pieces of toast, yogurt, a protein shake and grilled chicken breast equates to 7k calories. My guess is it's water weight since I did drink alot more water then usual yesterday.
