Days 24-29 Golfballs

Sir, please open your bag. Do you have golf balls in your bag? (airport baggage check guy)
 
 No, they are hardboiled eggs. Well, we need to put those through the scanner too. To make a long story short I got on with my dozen hard boiled eggs. I am psyched that I prepared them because they came in very handy for the next few days. I arrived in Miami tues evening -so my eating all of tues was dead on. Tues night we went to Books and Books in south beach - I had a big ass salad with steak, avocado, mango, grilled onion.

Days 20-23

Sunday Evening June 5th
 
   Week 3 pics are posted and look much better than the previous week, I actually never posted week 2 pics because I hated them...I looked crappy....deflated from to little carb and calories. The changes I made to my diet definitely helped, week 3 pics are visibly better, more definition through torso and this is with very little cardio. I am still having a bit of a problem keeping my weight stable...it seems to want to drop 2-3 lbs....so I will see where I am mid week, depending on what happens, I might have to make another +250kcal leap.

Day 17-19

Hello there! Today's day 19, overall feeling good. I had a massive refeed day on Sunday which included all of my favorite food - choc chip pancakes, some Mexican, dessert(s) from a cookout, and massive amounts of other grill type foods.
 
  Like I said in my last post, I need to reconfigure my diet. My weight was slipping way below where I want it. Remember, I am trying to maintain weight while decreasing bodyfat...so it gets a bit tricky! Losing body fat is relatively simple, adding muscle while stripping body fat to a individual who is somewhat highly trained is not as simple.

Day 16

Ok, back to the drawing board. Weight is dropping below where I want it too, finally figured out that carbs and overall calories are to low and that week 3 pics look dont look as good as week 2. In retrospect, I am not sure what I was thinking dropping my carbs and calories that low from the get go....soooo today is a refeed day, I already got in
 
1/2 cup oatmeal
1 tablesoon of peanut butter
1 whole banana
strawberries
 
went to gym had a good back workout - did 40 grams of carbs as part of recovery drink

End of week 2 - 6 weeks to go!

Took a few days off from bloggin'....Well, today is the end of day 3, still no indiscressions. I feel good, hungry at times. At night I typically have a swiss miss hot chocolate and that seems to do the trick. My training has been great!
 
Yesterday: 1 hour of boxing with my coach John
 
Workout today:
 
Warmups
 
Single Leg Split Squat 95x10, 105x10, 115x10, 115x10, 115x10
2 sets of Squats @ 95x20 reps
 
all sets about 1.5 min rest
 
Couldn't do RDL's today, low back was just not 100% so I opted for single leg RDL with a kettlebell which allowed me to spare the low back and work on hip stability, coordination and balance.

Week 2 Pics (have to figure out lighting and depth)

Day 10 Week 2 pics

Today's Sunday, met with Mark Modine for a quick bodyfat reading. According to the shitty caliper's its stayed the same at 7.9%. As I tell my clients, you can't get wrapped up in the numbers. I look and feel leaner, weight is down 2.4lbs.....I will keep pushing forward.
