Thanks @illestbambi. It's been a challenge, especially finding out in the middle that I have acute tennis elbow. But maybe that actually helped as far as weight loss, since I had to concentrate of the lower body and those bigger muscles.
Did some serious food monitoring as well, used an app to may sure I stayed in caloric deficit most of the time, and made sure to eat much cleaner with a cheat meal here and there, but no full cheat days.
My goal is to break 200 by the 23rd, have a function then. But close will be fine and my body needs this weekend break. I'll also shake it up with a new program come Monday, and I can get my upper body going again since I've had my cortisone shot.
I wouldn't call it blowing you out of the water, you did pretty darn well too. I totally took the long weekend after the contest off and had more than a few cheat meals. LOL
Back at it now, and knocked another 2 off.....trying for that goal. ;-)
I've taken the week off, other than a couple of walks. No cheat meals, though, and have lost another 3 pounds! I want to lose about 30 more pounds. 37 pounds down in 4 1/2 months-- I'm more than happy and still motivated.
Keep going! ! I'll watch your progress. What are you aiming for
209!!! Great work man!! Very impressive, keep it going you will break 200 in no time.
