Missed a couple of weeks with vacation, work trips, and generally being on the go for various reasons, but I mostly kept up with my workouts. Ran 10 miles this week, hiked a few more looking for turkeys, and did a full body mobility workout today. I doubled down on my diet and removed nuts & seeds (I think I was eating way too much), reivsed my morning shake to 1 scoop protein powder, 10g flaked coconut, 1/4 cup frozen berries, 1-2 tablespoons peanut butter, 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed, and a teaspoon of green tea powder. It tastes ok enough and keeps me full for the morning even after pounding out some miles. Seems to have been doing the trick as I've reversed my weight gain and got back in the right direction.

Ugh. 249.6. Heaviest I've ever been.

On a positive note I am done with the third semester of nursing school and won't work this summer. Fall semester is 16 weeks and I will be done. Very excited about that. Had to withdraw my Wyoming deer application due to school conflict.

Is Vortex Challenge in Wyoming again this year? Edit: These guys say it is, but not sure how trustworthy the source is.

Total:23.7
This week:-3.1
Feeling damn good, men. I survived the baseball road trip and killed it this past week in hotels for work. Got in some workouts and ate totally clean. I’m nearing my goal of 210, which makes me happy, but there’s an issue. The mirror and the tape measure say 210 won’t be low enough. At 6’3” I thought it would be but not so sure now. The people around me are starting to call me skinny and are asking me to not go lower, but I feel as if that’s only because they’re used to the “fat” Bob. Anyone else experience this? Ultimately it’s my decision only on how low I go.

I get this a lot, especially from my wife. I fluctuate weight like crazy. I've gained/lost 50 pounds 3 times in the 6 years we have been together so when I get to the lower end of that she always tells me I'm getting too skinny. Part of it is for me to focus on losing weight I have to completely focus on it. I weigh in constantly, tell myself/her that I need to eat better/drink less. She's a good sport but rolls her eyes at me when I skip breakfast when I'm going through an intermittent fast. Stick with it, you'll know when your done based on how you feel.

We still have ducks sitting in the flooded fields around here. Farmers are starting to stress about getting plants in the ground.

Lots of stress here too but we still have plenty of time. The ducks would have me worried too on May 6th

Happy with the progress this last week, especially considering the food and $100 worth of drinks that were consumed at a wedding (and I live in the nebraska with $6 mixed drinks) it was a very good night!

We might be brother in laws. Your story is eerily familiar, lol, especially the eye roll. I agree with you, I’ll know. I already know 6-7 more lbs won’t do it. My new goal is more tape measure and mirror based. I’ll know when I see it and also don’t feel like I have a gut.

Been lax on hitting the scale and updating the thread. Today, 192.7#, up about 1.5# from three weeks ago. However, I'm still down from starting weight this year around 205-210, so I'm still on track. Going back to strict calorie counting and limping through a shin injury that showed up out of nowhere. Hopefully will be feeling 100% for my ultra race in 12 days. 50 miles on my shin feeling like this will be ROUGH.

171 today for me. I’ve been right here hovering at 170ish for about a month now. Very happy at this weight. Just trying to maintain while still getting about 30 miles of cardio a week.

6pm pre workout weight was 199.5#. Free weight workouts are going well and increasing ruck hiking and swimming frequency/intensity.

I switched to daily 16/8 intermittent fasting, 1 24 hour fast bi weekly. Keto diet, and fasted trainings when I wake up in the morning. Daily cold plunge in my diy freezer 33*. Mostly doing functional excerises with cardio. Kettlebell workouts, lots of rowing, box jumps.
Keep up the hard work everyone! It will all be worth it!
