21312 - 183.5 (Monday) #240 Good strong "Bravo" wk at the Y (details in phone).
New wake up routine; protein drink, then breakfast, NO X pre-workout & honey post workout, soft pretzels, honey almond & papaya dried before next session. (GX). Feel the urge to purge.
21412 - 180 (Tuesday) #241 Got to bed early last night, wake, tea then protein drink & fruit, almonds, yogurt & honey breakfast piddle around the house work... should probably have more substantial food today. Exhausting ZEST session yesterday, chill Aquabox, tired me out. In bed early.
21512 181 (Wednesday) #242 - up @ 4am back to sleep til 11:30am - YMCA chest and arms day then aquabox. Good chest day changed a few things around.

decline flies (db)
flat press (Dbs)
pull overs (went to 70)
ez bar skull crushers (25 plates)
tri-pres down on lat machine
biceps cable curls /~0~\
mini str8 bar curls
Strong Aqua Box session
Tired and back to work. Days off are like fasting, more supps than food.
21612 181 (Thursday) #243 (I should be measuring today but no time. Will get to it on the wknd.) FF-YMCA: did I just get a headache from eating tuna and cheese? Been doing wake-up protein all week and psy-husk in morn after work (just 1 or 2 days??). Intense FF session, they see to be more intense n the cardio zone which will help me burn more,but i wonder if the shakes & Oxy have anything to do with the alleged(?) energy/intensity increase. Got Vitamin E and flaxseed supps, Pedialite for post workout dextrose, seems expensive for post workout tho, honey is cheaper. Got the aspirin as per doc's recommendation. "baby" aspirin is now "low dose" adult - took one - got a year's worth. I'd better not get a heart attack!! which is unlikely whether i take aspirin or not as the ticker is "normal" which i take to mean normally healthy.
DAY 24421712 181.5 (Friday) #244 - Lift Therapy... Today was legs and back: Staring with deep squats I pushed the last set up to 205 with 6 solid deep reps!! Then leg presses. 3 sets of wide grip high pull ups (8-10-12) Rev. grip barbell rows with knees close (this makes the balance muscles in the core do more work), High pull (for upper back) seated rows, bent flies (knees close), Peck Deck, lo-to-hi cable crossovers, leg curls* (*180 lbs I haven't done this much in a LONG time, legs have gotten stronger here). Leg extensions, stayed at 195 and increased reps. Oblique work and out!!
21812 - 182.5 (Saturday) #245 - measurement day, OK so I'm a day or two (or more) behind. No matter. Just about every 60 days I measure my belly. I use cm instead of fractions of inches, that would be discouraging and less accurate. I use the same tape measure and the same approximate locations. The last measuring day is up here somewhere. I'm not going to make the whole chart, I'll just note the change from 60 days ago, and from the beginning... 242 days ago. Yes, I'm a bit anal like this.
Top - 97cm + 2cm from last time and +4 from the start - this is due to an expanding back!!
Middle 87.5 - 2.5 - 6cm total!! This is significant, first place I hit my goal of being in the 80s!!!
Bottom 93.5 - 0.5 - 5.5 from the beginning. This is the belly button zone, probably the hardest and it looks like I slowed down in the last 60 days.
Under 94 -0.5 -3.5 another tough zone, the last 60 were small, but overall a significant loss. These areas will have to be dieted and exercised off... and it will take some time.
This actually is encouraging considering the last 60 days included the winter and holiday seasons, usually times of low activity and high caloric (celebration) intake. Next measurement day around day #320 we'll be well into spring and very close to the 1 year mark. Oh yeah, I got a 60 or 90? day supply of OxyElite which is suppose to target belly fat, so we can check if the numbers change significantly. It won't be THAT scientific, but if I make any significant eating changes they will be noted here.
Oh, I signed up for the Broad St. Run, so run training may impact the numbers as well.
Another note before I post this; The last couple of days I've been sleeping straight through to the alarm, where as I usually sleep maybe 4 or 5 hours, wake up and then have to get the last 90 mins. separately.
OK Today's session I posted all over the place: 6 laps swim warm up, than as planned, swim-sprint intervals, basically I swim a fast length, rest, slow swim back and repeat. Did 4 intervals, then ran 3 miles on the treadmill in 35 minutes. That's all. Now I can post.
