Here I go again :)

[Bobby]

Well, I've gotten myself back to 332lbs on the doctors scales, and that was about 4 weeks ago. So I haven't tried to weigh myself on the home scales, they only go to 330.

Anyway, I started induction today. I've had a pretty good start. For breakfast I had about 6 eggs and 5-6 rations of bacon washed down with half a cup of coffee and 40oz of water. When I got to work this morning the company offered to buy us breakfast so I went ahead and ordered another 3 eggs and 3 pieces of bacon washed down with 24 oz of water

For the rest of the day I have some summer sausage, cheese and pork rinds. When I get home I'll have steak and a salad with blue cheese dressing.

Last month I dislocated my right knee-cap while lifting weights. So I haven't lifted hardly anything since then. I'll keep track of my lifts here as well.

My goals for now are to clean up my eating habits, get back down to at THE MOST 250 lbs and get back in shape for another strongman competition this year.

I'm pretty excited, the last time I lost 90lbs and hardly exercized at all. This time around I intend to start lifting as well as eat clean

[Bobby]

Ok, got some good news and bad news today.

Went to the doctor today, to get some prescribtions written. The bad news was I weighed 340, the good news is my blood pressure is doing great even with a fresh piece of nicorette gum in my mouth. So I guess I put on some extra weighed (over the 332) over the Christmas Holiday,

Also I've been eating clean induction for the past six days, seems like the second was the worst. Water intake has been really good most days near 100 ounces. Been taking the vitamins everyday as well.

I still haven't started lifting yet, figured I'd let myself get used to the lower carbs for a couple of weeks before lifting very heavy. I'll go lift something light tonight after I get finished digesting dinner and goofing off on the pc.

[Bobby]

Well it's day seven of re-induction, so far so good. I just finished of a nice plate of eggs with cheese and bacon. I washed that down with an omega 3-6-9 gel cap, vitamins and 20 ounces of water. Time for some coffee

I'll proably post more later today.

[Bobby]

Ok, an update for today.

I lifted weights today for the first time in a while, but this is what I did...

Flat Bench Press
Bar x 20 reps (45 lbs)
95 x 12
95 x 10
115 x 6
125 x 6
155 x 1
180 x 6
190 x 6
200 x 6 I'll stick with 200 for a couple of weeks (no spotter)

Incline Bench Press
115 x 6 x 3 sets will stay there for a while too, sharp pain in the right shoulder.

DB wrist curls 45's x 15 x 2 sets

Cable Crunches 140 x 8 x 3 sets

I know it doesn't look like much, but not having any carbs today, I ran out of gas pretty quicklly. After I lifted I came in and had a protein shake. I'll do more ab work later when I feel better.

Later

[Bobby]

Grrrrrrrr! Looks like I messed up, I added 4 ounces of sunnyd and about half a cup of heavy whipping cream to my shake. Looks like I had all my 20 carbs in one stinking protein shake. Meat for the rest of the day.

Good news, getting ready to have my 4th 20 ounce glass of water

[Bobby]

Ok, got a late start today (slept in) But I had my breakfast of eggs and bacon washed down with 20 oz of water and vitamins. I'm a little sore from the lifting today but not too bad, should be able to work it out when I go lift again today.

Also had some pepperjack cheese after breakfast that took care of any craving I should have for a while.

If anyone want to say Hi or give advice, feel free to speak up. I don't bite, hard anyway

[Bobby]

Early start today, got up for work had a shower, the breakfast of champions (eggs and bacon ) Took my vitamins with 20 ounces of water. A little slow on the water so far only 32 ounces.

I didn't do any lifting yesterday so I'll give it a shot tonight when I get home. Figure I'll work on the Tri's and Lats. Will probably add in a little ab work as well, since I'm not as tight as I was yesterday.

[Ben_1981]

Good luck, I'll be pulling for you.

[cdn_gal]

Bobby you are doing so well so far, and you seem to have the right frame of mind going on..... Good luck to you, and I look forward to "lurking" through your journey with you...... KUTGW!!..........Lei

[Bobby]

Thanks for the encouragement Ben and Lei!

I just stopped in to write, I've had a steak at 8:30 and 11:30 and am now up to 44 ounces of water. I'll probably have steak and chicken with some pepperjack cheese around 2:30pm I'll wash that down with at least another 12 ounces. I'll eat the bulk of my carbs tonight at supper in the form of a salad after I lift weights.

editted to correct typo's

[Bobby]

Ok, here is my plan of attck lifting wise. I'll lift as often as I can, if not daily.

So the lifting will be something along these lines.

Incline Bench Press 3 sets of 4-6
Flat Barbell Bench Press 3 sets of 4-6
Decline Barbell Bench Press 1 set of 4-6
Barbell Wrist Curls 2 sets of 8-10
Dumbbell Wrist Curls 2 sets of 6-8

Dumbbell Hammer Curls 2 sets of 4-6
Curl Bar Curls 1 set of 4-6
Leg lifts 2 sets of 12-15
Kneeling Cable Crunches 2 sets of 8-10

Day 3 Shoulders and Triceps
Dumbbell Presses 3 sets of 4-6
Straight Bar Military Presses 2 sets of 4-6
Dumbbell Side Laterals 2 sets of 4-6
Lying Tricep Press 2 sets of 4-6
Tricep Cable Pressdowns 2 sets of 4-6
Seated Overhead Tricep Press 1 set 4-6

Day 4 Back and Traps (this could be tricky)
Bent Over Barbell Rows 2 sets of 4-6
Close Grip Pull-Downs (useing v-bar) 2 sets of 4-6
Cable Rows 1 set of 4-6
I'm going to try and do seated Dumbbell Shrugs, 2 sets of 4-6

Since I really can't use my right leg too much I'll wait until later to have a leg day.

Today I'm right on plan eating wise, and I drank 90 ounces of water. Not too bad concidering the amount of coffee I've had

[FatBottomedGurlz]

Not at all! Ask any questions or feel free to make any comments

That being said.... LOL

Didn't lift today, tomarrow doesn't look too good either. Been busy at work and trying to buy a bike. Will probablly go out of town to pick up the bike tomarrow and won't be back until Friday. I'll either try and get up early tomarrow and lift or do it when I get back on Friday.

We'll see

[Bobby]

Well I'm now in Searcy Arkansas, It was a long drive, Hope to be home tomarrow night.

[roeluvsparis]

Bobby: you are doing just great! I am so jealous because I can't do any type of heavy exercising. I wish I could lift weights. You keep it up, Bobby! You are going to be one fit and toned guy!

Peace
roe

[Bobby]

roe, how come you can't lift heavy? maybe I can give you some advice, I'd be glad to help come up with some ideas.

Well I made it home last night, unloaded my brand new 2005 VTX1300C. It is sooooooo cool! I did great eating on the road, all was low carb, water wasn't so great but didn't want to have to make too many pit stops for pee breaks.

Time for a nap so I can work overtime tonight.
