Blu Bulks for some Big Ones Journal

[blu2xtreme]

and in only 5 meals, no less.

Isn't tonight back night?

Yes it is ...would never forget
just digesting my last meal and playing with pics

[MsGuns]

Hey folks come listen to OFF TOPIC....
Guess what Im doing standby 2morrow and surprising the fam.

[blu2xtreme]

I did steal this idea from Matt's journal but it is a cool idea - especially since I am standing next to my sis in law in both pics as comparison to how I have changed.

Great progress Blu!

heaven forbid you might actually go over tonight, you need to drink a scoop of whey or something after you train.

[gman]

your hair even got darker! Magic!

Seriously, what a big difference, be proud of yourself...most people would not have persevered.

BTW your sis in law looks a lot leaner too in the after pic.

Use to lighten my hair like that helped hide the fat:dunno:

Yeah ...she hated it when I got smaller then her so she went on a diet - she is just naturally thin - never has to work out and eats like a guy.
I'd hate her ..but I love her to much:p

[MsGuns]

Just checking in to say Hi. I check out your (and all the other old farts....erm, I mean masters) log every day but rarely post.

Great transformation and the smile looks awesome right through the change in body size.

[Baldiewonkanobi]

Only one thing would make that 'after' shot better. You need to wear a bright yellow Golds Gym T shirt with sleves rolled up a bit in these photos. You earned it. The girlie foo foo Ts no longer work for you.

Meal 1 - 3 eggs / 1 slice ezekiel bread ( breakfast in bed with the forums )

Leg day - will do it later in the day
worked out pretty late last night

I have learned some lessons about having a better Leg day

- do not do intense inclines the night before or morning of

- You have to eat enough on leg day

- you can not rush leg training - put the time in you need

I am a reformed cardio junkie - but I am turning myself around :yep:

[fatbackgoal]

Good stuff Blu. I have come to love leg day but I think the most important aspect that turned it around was when I stopped ego lifting and concentrated on form.

You are doing very good and the dedication is paying off.

[freebirdmac]

How have the cals been the last several days?

[blu2xtreme]

How have the cals been the last several days?

I am learning my lessons:yep:

Sunday is catch up day for me ...do everything I put off this weekend
Laundry - prep food and meals for the week.

Hope everyone has a great Sunday

[freebirdmac]

This is the week to shoot for 1800 and make a doctor's appointment. No more excuses! If you need meds, and I'm betting you do, it could take awhile for them to get you stable. How's your weight been over the last month? Any more improvements in hunger? I'd back down a bit on the protein and increase carbs. We've got to get your body acclimated to more carbs. Good ones of course :)

I think I am off Thursday day so if my work week is crazy again - we don't get breaks or a lunch break . I should be able to call and make an appt. on Thursday.

I weighed this morning and I am up 5 pounds ...so it seems to be a 1 lb a week deal. Hunger has improved ...actually feels odd to be hungry.

[freebirdmac]

Alright. One pound a week isn't bad. Most will be water and I'm sure some is muscle. It should start to taper off. But we'd really like you to get on meds to take that piece out of the equation. Hunger is very, very good!!! Keep pushing the lifting workouts hard! See if you can't up the weights on a weekly basis.

Great job!!!

[blu2xtreme]

Thanks ...I had a busy day at work but feel very focused today.

One of my patients today was a 61 yr old lady that started bb in hers forties - she didn't look a day over 45.
We saw her last year after I lost my weight - she came in today and when she saw me she said how much better I looked and that she could tell I started lifting. It really made me feel great.


Hey Blu just stopping by to see one of my faves!!

Sorry I missed you Bucki ...
catch ya later :hmn:

[gman]

this stuff works, Blu...congrats on getting noticed. It makes you want to work even harder, doesn't it?

guess what, my partner and I scared up the money using credit card miles, and we are coming in a couple of weeks for classes. we have to get 40 hours a year of education, and we have been coming to vegas for 4 years running now. We both enjoy roulette and sports betting. maybe you can meet me for some coffee or something.

[blu2xtreme]

Blu, have you had your LBM checked? I noticed you said earlier about gaining 6 lbs but if you are putting quality weight that's not a bad thing.

I have not ... Pam and Mike want me to have my thyroid levels checked again, so I am making an appointment for that.
I really think I was surviving for so long way under maintenance cals that my body doesn't like having much food.
I do feel the gain has been good - I feel stronger and look better but hate seeing the scale go up.

Don't get hung up on the # on the scale. It's deceiving! How you look and your clothes fitting is the real key!

[blu2xtreme]

Don't get hung up on the # on the scale. It's deceiving! How you look and your clothes fitting is the real key!

That is the problem I look better with less cloths but my jeans feel tighter - but today I decided that wasn't really a bad thing...

[buckimscl]

Are they tighter because you're becoming more muscular? Looser in the waist but tighter in the legs and bottom? Better with less clothes......I'm getting a visual here :)

I know ...I really need to go.
More worried about my next step if all is well.
Can't keep gaining a pound a week.

[freebirdmac]

I seriously doubt it is. Enlarged thyroid and always cold...

Next week you'll keep your cals where they are now. That should steady you out and accommodate a messed up thyroid as well as continue to work on your metabolism. Just keep the diet steady in terms of carbs and water. No under cutting carbs or taking diuretics. You should be taking in about 170g protein, 52g fat, 25g fiber, and 138g of carbs (includes fiber cals).

Yes you have been doing very good on the cals :yep:
Work on the water.
Don't stress about the scale. Focus instead on gaining muscle, seeing good progression on the weights, and how much easier it will be to lean out the next go-around. I know how tough it is to ignore body fat. Its time will come soon enough. :D

Since it erased all the great posts I made today:mad:

Everyone ( well Mike and Pam ) will have to take my word

40 mins cardio - my usual treadmill inclines

Off to a busy day at work - I did remember to pack some easy fast
stuff - protein bars and RTD muscle milk shakes

Chest workout tonight

[blu2xtreme]

My not so Happy Monday :(

I was very pissy today

Weather in Vegas sucks - cold and rainy

Didn't even come close to eating enough - felt crappy

Took 1 1/2 hours to get across town after work my daughter had to wait in the dark and the cold rain 45 mins ( one ray of sunshine, she didn't complain once and called my cell to tell me to take my time and
be careful :))

Came home to find my dog ate our leather ottoman

10pm just finished work out - still have to makes lunchs and eat again

[freebirdmac]

Those days happen. Today will be better :)

Did you get your appointment?

I need your kind of pests in my life:p

Made an appointment - because of my work I can only go on Fridays and the holidays mess that up so they couldn't give me an appointment until after then
but said if I get any extra time off to call and see if they can work me in.
I have a new boss after 23 years of doing what I want - part of my stress - long hours at work and lack of time for meals other then really fast ones

That's disappointing that you have to wait, but at least you know have an appointment.

That sucks your new boss doesn't manage like the old one did. It is however great that you're learning how to prepare for lack of meal time so you don't go back to under eating. That is progress!
(didn't I say earlier that dentists were evil?)

The Dentist I go to is one of the nicest people I've ever met and his staff loves their job as they have a great schedule and wonderful working conditions. When I was younger, I was an asshole boss and to this day, I regret it with all my being. I think my problem was that I was trained to be an asshole--like it was the only way to get people motivated to work hard or something. Sad.

Hope your job gets better! :hmn:

Well I guess looking at things positively, I have had a lot of life experiences already. And I've learned my lessons from them. I've always tried to be the pleaser too, and being the one who puts in all the effort just isn't worth it.

I just got lucky I guess...had to get burned to figure it out, but at least I learned it now! There's always something to be learned from the bad experiences. It just takes a while getting through the pain to figure out what it is. Luckily I had a good support group to help me through that.

Still a good deal for me ...free workouts planned for me everyday for the price of a tank. :yep:

good luck finding a medium! I tried to buy one for my chiro last time I was out there, and no luck!

second that, Blu. Great job on the chin ups, that was a new one and you did great. It does use more bicep,but that's ok. I guarantee you will feel it in your lower lats today or tomorrow

[blu2xtreme]

No training today - works well to have a off day after back night
I always get a little crazy training lats - I want those pull ups bad:yep:

40 mins cardio went a little easier on the incline today 5 % @ 3.5

[gman]

It's cool to want it that bad. I bet you are doing them by Columbus. I am sure there will be a pullup bar somewhere so you can show us! No pressure though ;)

this day off will be good for you, you have done legs, chest and back in the past few days. A day off for recovery is great

I am feeling pretty wiped out and sore today ... need some rest badly

two days off wouldn't hurt if you don't feel better tomorrow. Seriously, I know I can't stand to do it either, but it does help sometimes if you are wiped out.

[BEAST MODE]

I agree...build a rest day in here and there. It will let your body heal and keep you going like you need to.

Not the best at resting ...I seem to think rest day from training means that I should do more cardio... working on getting more recovery time in.
More then 4 hours of sleep a night would be a good start:)

[BEAST MODE]

That's probably what's getting you right there. I bet if you started getting 6 hours a night, you'd feel much better. I'd still throw in some rest days though.

Going tanning will try and sleep for 15 mins while I tan :p

[BEAST MODE]

Good idea. I love sleeping in tanning beds, but I always wake up and don't know where I am.

I am still at 8 minutes, so I can't get to sleep in time.

Damn pale Irish dude, I wish I could tan easier.

I have been 9 times: 7 minute 5 times, 8 minutes 4 times, and am still pale.

If I go for more time I get burnt....no hurries I guess, I started way out.

[BEAST MODE]

Why not use a bronzer G?

[gman]

I will if I need at the end. I want a really good base tan.

It was cheap $99 for 3 months unlimited, so I couldn't pass it up

Forgot another rule ...you have to eat :p
Will have to grab a protein shake after tanning before shopping

Todays food sucked so bad I didn't bother plugging it into fit day
I'd estimate it at around 1200 cals if I was lucky -
no excuses I just didnt eat
Did have a pre workout whey shake

Biceps and Tri workout - wasn't crazy hard but I did get a pump going

Bench dips x 4 sets

One arm db extension, seated x 4 sets

Rope pushdowns x 4 sets

BB curls x 4 sets ( these were a little harder - I usually use a ezcurl bar)

Incline db curls x 4 sets

Hammer curls x 4 sets

You have to stay on top of this. It's easy to slip back to your under eating ways. No more excuses!

Thank Tifflex
Hey Mike when do I do calves?
I think with all my cardio inclines - he didn't think I needed much

My friend has been amazing - worked the whole time only missing the day of chemo then back on Mondays

you can do calves if you'd like, I am biased against not doing them since I don't need to and never do myself. You have pretty good calves already

the inclines get them pretty well.
