Day 6 - yeah, I know...supposed to start on day one.. Rules, rules.... So, like I was saying Day 6:

Started to wake up out of my slumber at 5:45am. Sun was peeking through the window, with blinds now being left open. Shut the alarm off 1 minute before it started it's infernal noise at 6:15am. Yay me!

Breakfast: 4 egg omelet (cage free organic brown eggs), one jalepeno, 5 grape tomatoes, 1 oz of raw mild cheddar cheese, salted butter, and 4 strips of bacon (no nitrites or nitrates added - nature's promise organic).

Lunch: 5.5ozs pork tenderloin, 24 almonds, 1 cheese stick, 15 baby carrots.

Dinner: 16oz Prime Rib from Longhorn, 5 stuffed mushrooms (herbs and cheese without breading), 15 stalks of asparagus, mixed green salad (no croutons) with chipotle ranch dressing.

Water: 128 ozs.

Long day. Spent most of it walking at work. On feet majority of day. Low intensity.

I know there is a lot of cheese in my diet still. Not quite sure how much if any I will be cutting out. I will do my best. Looking at a butcher for grass fed beef. Hopefully soon...

Starting weight on 5/6/2011 was 258lbs. Current weight 253lbs on 5/10/2011.

Peace.

16 oz. prime rib, I like your style. As for the cheese, I would say keep an eye on it and not go crazy and you'll be OK. If you hit a snag in you're weight lose then that may be the culprit and you'll know what to do. But you've lost 5 lbs in 4 days, so it's not an issue yet.

Breakfast today was much the same as the above picture, only with the bacon inside. YUM!

Just got done eating this delicious beast. 4 eggs, jalepeno, 5 grape tomatoes, 1 oz raw mild cheddar, 4 strips of uncured bacon (Nature's Promise). Jalepeno inside negates the need for hot sauce!

Worked out, 5 mins treadclimber at 3.5mph - alternated Rotating curls and bench dips then alternated rope cable curls and straight bar tricep extensions.

Rotating curls 30 lbs x 20, 35 lbs x 15, 35 lbs x 15

Bench Dips 15, 15, 15

Rope Cable Curls 100 lbs x 10, 100 lbs x 10, 100 lbs x 10

Straight bar tri ext. 120 lbs x 10, 120 lbs, 10, 120 lbs x 10

Just got done with my first intermittent fast. Started at 6:00pm Saturday night and didn't have anything but water till 6:00pm tonight. It seemed a lot easier than I thought it would. I didn't feel shaky or anything. Now I will say that I didn't have a high energy day planned so not expending much energy might have made it easier. My first meal breaking the fast was the following:

3 cups organic spinach
2 ozs raw mild cheddar cheese
12 organic grape tomatoes
1 jalepeno pepper fresh chopped
4 tbsp "cowgirl ranch" dressing
10 baby carrots chopped
6 slices of uncured bacon

Drank over 20 glasses of water throughout the day so I was plenty hydrated. I normally drink as many as 18 glasses each day anyway, so this was not a huge departure from normal.

Hope I did this right!

So, big steak last night with wine. One glass and oh how a dry red wine with a massive hunk of red meat cooked medium rare is awesome!! I love it! Took my wife out for her birthday. We had a pretty good time.

Tonight my parents took us both out for dinner since our birthdays are only 7 days apart. We went to Cracker Barrel, more a matter of convenience than desire to go there, but it was good. I had 3 eggs, 2 sausage patties, 3 strips of bacon, and a house salad with buttermilk ranch dressing. Also finished the last 3 ounces of my wife's sirloin since she wasn't going to finish it. Very happy that she likes meat rare as it was cooked just right.

Yesterday morning I weighed 249.8 which is 1.8 lbs down from last Friday!!! Today 248.8! Today would have been one week. Very happy with the progress! I started at 258 lbs fourteen days ago. I am down almost 10 lbs!!! Also under 250 lbs for the first time in over 10 years!! Very excited!
