Woo, I'm back. Had a great vacation, though super quick. I ate terribly, and am going to weigh in today. I've got my trainer for legs today, which basically means I'll be out of commission for my legs for the rest of the week. Good thing I'm in good spirits though, I don't mind it. I'll keep working towards my goals. I'm back on track with eating, and that's the biggest challenge for me! I hope everyone has been doing well.

Lol, I'm definitely doing that soon. I'm headed to San Diego California in a week and will be doing nothing but swimming in the ocean and playing. I cannot WAIT!

Well, my LYTE run this weekend got cancelled, so I signed up for another. Kailer, if you're interested, here's the link! It's another fun run, not anything serious. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/run-rock-austin-5k-and-music-festival-registration-10556220941

Hey Mattyboy, where you been man? How're things?

Congrats on starting out Antro. Nice to have you here!

Haven't been doing any cardio lately because of the damned heat over here too Kailer. And my run this weekend got cancelled. I'm bummed. But I will do some serious walking this weekend, and hopefully get myself a little more adapted to the heat? If that's possible. I certainly don't do well running in it...

I want to like it, but it's country. It is amusing though!

So while I completely avoid the term twat and cunt (specially the latter!), I'm curious about them. I know twat seems to be more accepted / put into practice in the UK, but what about cunt? Do you guys say that too? And Twilight that's for you too, since you're from "Canadia".

Lol, I feel better today. Also, I slept forever last night which was amazing. Somehow I managed to get like 11.5 hours of sleep. Granted I fell asleep SUPER early, but being that I slept all the way through the night I didn't mind. And today was a good diet day. Bounced back strong. I've been trying to think at how I'm going to do more cardio and still can't come up with a solid solution though. I love to walk and listen to my audio books, but I'm finding I'm too tired to do it in the mornings and at night. Weekends are also getting so hot now at 90+ degrees and humid. But I'm going to try to NOT be a complete baby and figure something out. Here's my workout for today!

UPDATE 7/10: Posterior Chain Kinda Good Mornings (warm up): 2 sets at 95 Deadlifts: Set 1:135 x 8 Set 2: 225 x 8 Set 3: 275 x 5 Set 4: 275 x 5 Set 5: 295 x 5 Set 6: 315 x 5 Set 7: 335 x 1 Set 8: 335 x 1 Set 9: 275 x 3 Set 10: 275 x 3 NOTE: The 335 wasn't very pretty, but I did get it. I had a trainer watch me and they didn't like it a whole lot either. Need to drop the weight back down and keep working on that form. Leg Press: Set 1: 270 x 8 Set 2: 360 x 8 Set 3: 450 x 8 Set 4: 450 x 6 Overall: While I didn't get in as much work as I would have liked, I did feel decent and work out pretty well. I also managed to get like 11.5 hours of sleep last night somehow, and that was amazing. I haven't slept like that in longer than I can remember.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I just screwed up, but I'll rebound. I had Torchy's Tacos for lunch today, and it was really good. I also had chips and queso. I need to be more careful because I can see my weight going up. But I'm about to head to the gym to work some of this off. Normally I'm very disciplined with my eating, so I'm unsure as to why I'm having so many problems lately. Regardless, I need to just keep focused and working hard. Even when I fall, I can't let that pull me off the path. One hard thing about this is the mental battle you face. I feel awful and depressed right now because of what I ate. I shouldn't. I should realize I won't always be perfect, but as long as I keep a healthy lifestyle, then messing up isn't that bad. While I can logically understand this, I can't help but feel terribly disappointed in myself and depressed. Stupid brain... Anyway, here's my workout from yesterday and I'll be posting my workout from today in a little bit. It's supposed to be legs but mine hurt so badly from Monday that I don't know if I can pull it off.

Yes sir! Happy to be back working on things. Update 7/8: Bench: Set 1: 135 x 10 Set 2: 155 x 8 Set 3: 165 x 5 Set 4: 185 x 5 Set 5: 185 x 4 Set 6: 185 x 4 Wide Grip Pull Ups: Set 1: 8 reps Set 2: 7 reps Set 3: 5 reps Set 4: 3 reps (and these were bad...) SUPERSETTED WITH: Cable Triceps Extensions: Set 1: 80 x 8 Set 2: 100 x 8 Set 3: 100 x 8 Set 4: 100 x 8 Incline Dumbbell Press: Set 1: 55 x 8 Set 2: 55 x 8 Set 3: 55 x 8 Set 4: 55 x 8 NOTE: These were oddly hard today... Cable Lat Pulldowns: Set 1: 120 x 8 Set 2: 130 x 8 Set 3: 130 x 8 Set 4: 130 x 8 Machine Bench: Set 1: 175 x 8 Set 2: 185 x 8 Set 3: 195 x 8 Set 4: 195 x 8 NOTE: Ideally this machine will help me push past my top without the worry of dropping the weight on my chest and getting stuck. Just a little safer. SUPERSETTED WITH: Shrugs: Set 1: 140 x 8 Set 2: 160 x 8 Set 3: 160 x 8 Set 4: 160 x 6

Lol, I guess we all binge on something? Lol, bugs. I love it.

Lol, bow chica wow wow!

Way to go on the 5k Xanjra! And I bet you'll love the mud run, they always looked like even MORE fun. I've signed up for a ROC race here in Austin (september) but am trying to find more races to do as well. Course, when it's 95+F outside, I'm not quite as motivated... I can't wait to see those times start dropping. I bet next time you run another 5k, you'll be impressed how far you improve on time.
