[quote=Bob Guere;465253]Ok, Steve, I'm jumpin on in here too to cheer you on until you get your diet dialed in. You can do it brother! I can say from experience that letting the diet go and trying to keep CF'ing is a slippery slope. I, for one, tire easily, get down easily, and simply don't want to be in the gym when I let all that crack slip back into the diet. I'm not talking about a cheat meal, or even a cheat day, but when it's 3, 4, 5 or more days and I realize I've let the crack slip back in, that's when I really suffer and I have to just SNAP back into the game and not even think about "weening" or "babysteps".

Here's my secret...and I have a whole house of people too.... if we don't buy it at the grocery, then I can't eat it when I'm tempted. The crack is just not in the pantry.[/quote]

[quote=Nancy Cohen;465260]Yep, that's my secret too. Keep the crack out of the house. :)[/quote]

Thanks, you two! You are both awesome support and encouragement people! It's not that I'm even consciously sabotaging my eating, it's that I'm not even thinking. Got a bit too busy with other stuff on "rest days" and didn't eat when I was supposed to, or .......well, you obviously know the rest. Did great today, tho!

[quote=Richard Macaulay;465266]Duuuuuude, your log is awesome, the detail in food logg etc is brilliant. Loving avatar to mate!!

Thanks, Ricky! Only bad thing about the food log is that I [I][B]will not[/B][/I] cheat and fail to log the "crack" (as Bob and Nancy say). Gotta be honest, so if I play, I pay.

Avatar pic was fun.......We "Yanks" love to make "cop jokes," among them, "Bad cop, no donut", or "Do you know why cops hands are permanently deformed? From the coffee and donuts..."

So I figured, what the heck.......It was my last day on the road before I retired.

Good for you for giving blood. Well worth the unexpected rest days--we all depend daily on "the kindness of strangers;" it's just that sometimes it takes something like a trip to the ER to fully realize it.

Keep your head down on the nutrition--we all believe in you!

Thanks, Chris! My poor little ADHD brain sort of forgets stuff......like giving blood the day before I wanna do a good metcon......[I]HELLO!![/I] And I can't even blame it on age - - I've always been that way.

Thanks on the nutrition. It is simply amazing how easy it is to get away from good eating. I have to consciously think about what I put into my gullet every minute, or I'll stuff it with anything that looks good, even if I don't eat that much. Or worse, I forget to eat.

One of my favorite snacks.

Workouts are looking solid. Glad to hear about your knee. From everything I've read, Not breaking parallel is one of the best ways to guarantee undue stress is placed on the joint. No need to go ATG, but be sure to break parallel.

Re: The Bassman's Log (Steve Lampl)
 

Steve- Great log!! :kicking0:

Love the daily diet update. Your inspiring to me! Keep up the good work. Love the avatar. Do you think CF would have helped you when you were back on the force?

[B]Jump Rope: Singles
100 X 5 + 34 = 534. [/B]
First 3 sets unbroken. Tripped a LOT on the 4th. 5th unbroken, tho almost tripped. Got to 34 on the 6th and felt my left calf starting to cramp, so I stopped and called it good.

[B]Platform Jump (box jump)
10 X 1 X 18" - - [/B]quit after one set due to calf.

[/COLOR][COLOR=Red][COLOR=Black][B]190 X 1 (bad form)
175 X 3
160 X 3
115 X 12 (max reps)
[/B]Realized after doing the first set at 175, that an extra 5 lb "add-on" weight was sitting on the stack, so 5# are added in parentheses...)
