had a piece of fresh rubarb crisp. omg the sugar! but no worries going to pick square bales that will burn off any sugar, have 100 to pick 60 pounds each 6000 pounds, then unload them too, so I am sure them carbs will be used up after moving 12000 pounds

felt shinsplints, wtf?

You don't say what you are doing at your hardcore workout place, but maybe since it is new and an added element to your exercise, your body is reacting to the added stress you are putting on it. Please remember to stretch your legs, after your workout. For the shinsplints, try walking on your heels, toes up off the ground (yes, it looks dorky, but do it anyway ), walk that way for 10 or 15 sec., then walk normal for the same, repeat a few times. Also, you can kneel on the floor, legs bent under you, butt sittin' on your heels, then slowly lower your upper body backwards, you should really feel it pull and stretch those muscles in your shin area. Ease up for a week or so on the intensity of whatever you are doing on your leg workout. I hope some of that helps, shinsplints are the pits.

Sometimes just getting out the door and feeling the fresh air, and doing something good for yourself can really raise the spirits! I am glad you got to feeling better.
Reading your diet journal, you have definitely found a system that is working for you and I'm impressed at the way you are staying focused and on target. Good job Brent! Keep it up!

Love that!! LOL that some serious dedication right there!

Thanks Lynne, glad you're reading! Have been trying to reduce carbs a bit, don't handle them well it seems, also, I have been stuck for 3 weeks at same weight, so trying something different. Maybe you notice reduced carbs, dont feel hungry really, little harder to get calories. Workouts I will post, started friday, keeping track on a paper for now. Tommorow is weigh & in-measurement day, I always do it on monday, so will post "starting from here point..." Also, one handed eating and driving is done with, I just stop and take a break now, but at that time I was busy and had no time to stop, probably not a great way to eat anyway.

I have been stuck for 3 weeks at same weight, so trying something different

Me too. It is frustrating. I increased my HIIT to 3 times a week and am adding one long run on the weekend. I am also cutting out some carbs, especially in the evening, as I have learned that eating carbs later at night will hinder the weight loss. I can't eat beans....ugh...but I'm glad you like them! I have added Cottage Cheese. It took me a few times of reading your journal to realize that "cc" meant cottage cheese! duh! You could literally see the light bulb go off over my head when I finally got it! And if I am wrong then I guess please tell me what it is!

tommorow is weigh & in-measurement day, I always do it on monday

Brave boy you are Brent! I never weigh or measure on Monday, since I tend to eat less strict on the weekend. I always measure and weigh on Friday after a week of hard work and diet. (I always hold my breath too when I weigh, and step real slow onto the scale as if that is gonna make it be less!!) Haha
I hope you will consider starting a workout journal, it has really helped me with keeping up with what I'm doing and I have received alot of helpful advice and corrections on some of my workouts, plus it is a fun way to keep in touch with all your crazy shapefit friends!!

correct on cc, but it is really nominated for eviction next, maybe not, well see, too much sodium. milk pretty much got it last week.

I'm stuck at weight, but really starting to feel better, i can suck my gut right in, kinda cool, really don't care about weight anymore, i know something is happening, if i dont like the weight i just pull up on shower curtain

I eat the same everyday, until supper, then we never know - just know it will be meat and veg for me, add pototas for everyone else, then they eat ice cream ,not me.

Workout journal - go back and look at friday (edited)
