Here's an overdue update (had to change my username because I forgot my password and the lost password function wasn't working for me.)
Well, I am still fairly active, though moreso just recently.
I got a new job and have not lifted weights in 7 months. From Jan-April, I was playing hockey 4 times per week. April-July I played once a week, and my diet wasn't nearly as good as it used to be... However, I still didn't really gain much weight.
I bounced around from 185-195 during that time.
Recently I've started running again on a consistant basis as well as started playing hockey more often. I've tightened up my diet considerably... but here's the shitty part...
I had to start a medication that was making it impossible to lose weight. In fact, despite the running and a stricter diet, I actually gained weight.
I got up to 205lbs... Lost 5 of it in the last few weeks because I have been working extra hard and not cheating much at all.... but it was probably the toughest 5lbs I've lost so far out of the 150 or so I've lost total.
I finally decided I really need to re-jump-start this shit, so I called my doctor today to see if I can discontinue the meds for awhile.
I've started an ECA stack and that has helped immensely with my appetite.
As you can see from the pictures a page or two back, my body is looking a lot better than it used to, however, I desperately want to get rid of that last ring of flab that resides around my lower abdomen.
It is sometimes frustrating to come this far and not be able to "finish it off"; blue balls of a different kind.
On the other hand, sometimes I think... well, fuck, I used to weigh almost 350lbs and I get to sleep with a super cute girl with a bangin body 5 nights a week, so life isn't as bad as it could of been if I hadn't made that decision to take control of my life two years ago.
In any event, I am ready to take this shit a little extreme over the next few months to bust off the last 25 or so lbs...
Whatever is left when I get down to 170-175 I am getting cut off by way of a tummy tuck. That may be pure vanity, but I want to feel comfortable at the beach or just being naked in general and fuck it, I lost this shit the hard way with diet and sweat, so I feel I deserve it. No gastric bypass surgery, no weight loss supps (until 2 days ago), etc.
I've read a many articles that says the skin around my belly should tighten up, I just need to get leaner, etc.... I just don't know if that's true. I think even at 160, which would look aneimic (6'1, med/large build), I would still have some sagging skin...
Well, ok, I guess we'll just see when I do finally get rid of it... maybe I won't need it.
In any event, the next few months I will be going full fucking force to get this over once and for all!
