What's Your Excuse?

After 7 weeks of adjusting my diet, adding in an hour and half of cardio (spread out over 5 sessions) per week, and simply sticking to the plan, I've managed to drop my body fat quite significantly while maintaining muscle and performance.

Okay, so I spend some of my hard earned money on a nutritionist, it's not cheating, because you can hire the exact same guy to build you a custom diet too.
One of the biggest benefits of using the nutritionist is the accountability.  When I spend that money, I feel very motivated to stick to the plan.

And sticking to the plan is what created this transformation:


No cheat meals
No Beers with the boys
Never missing a work-out
Never missing a cardio session

7 weeks flys by, and I really didn't miss any of the cheat foods or drinks that much. 
No food or drink tastes as good as I feel after getting into a super lean state.

I took action and made things happen.  I hope that I've set an example and motivated others.



WEEKEND TRAINING:

Saturday Nov 6th 2010
Events

Truck pull simulator (rope and harness)- 3 X 75' pulls- prowler + 10 plates + 3 gorillas, still a bit too light, not enough friction from just one prowler. Droeske let his feet drag on the ground for my last pull which made it fairly difficult.

Axle pwr cleans-200lbsX3, 200X3, 200X3, 200X3, 250X2, 250X2
Haven't done these in a long time, felt pretty rusty.

stones- a couple warm-ups, 3 stone run : 300 to 56", 320 to 54", 350 to 51". Did 3 sets of this run, then did it once in reverse, but started with a 285 that was laying around at the time (285 to 51", 350 to 51", 320 X miss to 54", 300 to 56"

Decent session, got some work in.
