Six weeks in!
 

six weeks in I weighed 218 this morning (down from 242), w.o.d.s continue to improve, still don't feel gassed. Have really lost the desire to cheat with the snack machine, although I really haven't fine tuned my diet 85-90% paleo still drink some beer on the weekends have a burger or so stay away from the fries. Here is what I am doing

6:00 am 4 eggs couple pieces of bacon maybe some blueberries

10:00 am almonds or peanuts need to ditch the peanuts

12:00 pm a good helping of lean meat 4-6 0z, 3-4 cups of green beans, or some mixed berries

2:00 pm maybe some almonds not always tend to get addicted

drink diet drinks and water throughout the day know I need to quit the sodas!

I would really like to thank everyone for there info still have about 30lbs of fat to reach my goal, but this is one of the easiest lifestyle changes I have ever made and I still basically have fun on the weekends and haven't slacked up in the gym!! thanks again!

Nice!

Good work.

nice job....I bet energy levels are up as well.

Good job! Keep it up, these changes definitely don't all come overnight...

Thanks for all the encouragement, energy levels are way up! Yesterday I rocked It out according to me for my w.o.d.

185# deadlift
parallette push-up
vertical jumps

reps of 21-18-15-12-9-6-3 for a time of 10:11, I just felt I had a wave of energy like never before, changes in my diet have seemed to knock 30-40%
off my times, what amazes me is I am still able to go home cut grass, work in my grandfathers garden etc. with no problems at all! But on the weekends, I really feel diffrent after I cheat a little and it may take me a day or so to recover!

Good work Thomas. I feel you on the cheating on the weekends. I've only been IF'ing for a very short while and noticed a significantly negative effect of cheating earlier this week.

That's a heck of a time for that work out also.

edit: Whoops, this thread's been idle for a while.

Anyway, how's the progress about 5/6 months out?

Those almonds, sheesh, once I get started on them I've done scarfed 3 handfuls before I can stop. Way to go on the progress!

well I have let myself down and quit if, I am still going to crossfitnc 2-3 times a week, but, from what I have learned it will not be long before I get back on the if and clean eating deal, because I have finally figured out its 95% diet, my performance in the gym flat out sucks compared to what it was when I was on rocket fuel, no I am just putting kerosene into me a sputtering along! Its really all mental! Time to stop talking and start doing! thanks for all the support!

Good to see that you're about to get back on the paleo/if bandwagon Thomas.

Getting diet dialed in makes such a huge difference. Don't worry if you're good "only" 85-90% of the time. Keep your sanity and go out for a few beers now and then. have a burger once a week, maybe a couple slices of pizza.

Cheating isn't bad so long as it's not often (once a week max) and you keep it in check (don't eat a whole pizza unless you want to teach yourself a lesson.
