staying on track nutrition wise for today, weekends are the hardest for me
Agreed! Weekdays are a lot easier than weekends cause I have the same old routine during the weekdays. Then the weekends get here and it's usually always something different which in a lot cases throws off what i'm planning to eat. But hey I guess we need to live a little to. All about moderations.

Notes; I can't believe I lost a pound over a weekend, but I did !! Nutrition was right on track today, training went very well. I used a different machine for my Rope Press Downs this morning than I usually use and it really hit them different, I got a much better pump. I can't remember the last time I incorporated Push Ups in my routine, but they felt really good today. I am very happy with the progress I have been making and look forward to another day!

And losing that pound over the weekend also means you didn’t gain - many people can be good in the week, then mess it up and gain on the weekend! Staying the course means you get to make progress instead of working off accidental bulks lol

I can't imagine you not being happy with the look, you should be pretty ripped judging from how lean you were in the last pic around 185.

I have a really small waist and that makes me look fatter around the midsection than I am, even when I'm lean.

The best thing that I've ever used for love handles and putting the finishing touches on abdominal fat is XPG's Ab-Solved.

You, and some of the long time forum members may remember the original Ab-Solved by Avant as the the creation of Par Deus, the owner of Avant Labs back in the good old days. XPG's Ab-Solved is the modern day improved version of that.
Haven’t heard those names in awhile.

Yeah, a lot of the newer members on here may not have been here then or remember back to those days, but Avant and Par were way ahead of their time in terms of knowledge and products.

Xtreme Performance Gels uses the Avant carriers for their products and brought back Ab-Solved, which the current version is the old Avant version of Ab-Solved + more ingredients, so like a modern day version that was made with Par's involvement.

Its hard this time of year. Vendors bring in goodies almost every day. I got this sweet A** nut tray setting on my desk staring at me. I think its time to take it to the break room.
I just accept that I will gain a few pounds these day, if I keep it in moderation. In the past I use to gain 10-15 pounds from thanksgiving to mid Jan. before I would cut back. this year I've only gain 2lbs. so far.

Always disappointing when taste does not live up to the pic on the label.

I'm getting some donuts this weekend so that glazed donut label has my mouth watering!

I need to start asking for the to go box when I order the meal so I can do the same. Otherwise I will just eat whatever is on my plate until it's clean.

I have to say I was very excited to see how ripped and vascular my forearms looked during training, a level I have never reached before! Calories were a little over maintenance but all good clean food, to fuel the machine. The wife made dinner for a family dinner, a 5lbs Meat Loaf (1lbs lean ground beef, 2lbs ground turkey & 2lbs venison) it was fantastic !! The Semaglutide is still doing the trick at .25mg a week, I'm just starting week 3. Everyone have a great Sunday and tell some one you care about those 3 magic word. I Love You!

My Granddaughter gets tired of hearing those three words - but I'm sure she will never forget !!

I have have zero negative sides with the Semaglutide, it really curbs you apatite, but when it's time to eat, you can eat just fine

When everyone is hogging the heavy D-Bells at the gym. I use the 60lbs and hold it at the top for 5 sec. on each rep. that way you don't have to do 20+ reps, I usually alternate. Hold set and a 20+ rep set. good pump!

How are you liking that GW-0742?
I can't say 100% but I do believe that it gives me that drive that makes you go for an extra rep or two, I don't see a big difference, but I do think it makes a difference ????????

Truthfully it's probably the cheapest most complete gym with a ton of locations. If I had to travel non stop for work I would probably get a membership there.

It's a quarter mile from my work so very convenient, it is also very clean !!
