Okay so I think MyFitnessPal is not in fact my pal, my buddy, my guy and is actually a god damned liar.
I click 'complete entry' going back weeks and weeks, and it keeps giving a ballpark of me dropping down to about 250-260 pounds. But then again I have actually lost 8 pounds since May, from 286 to about 277. Maybe I'm just having one of 'those' moments where I want the weight gone faster but forget that it did take me months to get where I already am.

My new novel: Maledictions: The Offering. Now in Paperback!
Ok it's not really a fitness tip per se but it's something to keep in mind.
No, i finished my lunch with a few crackers and then decided to eat mentos. Perfectly sensible!
Starting today with two americanos, just because.
7:35 for one mile. Feeling pretty good about that one.
There's willpower in my brain somewhere, I just have to find it :S
i think the spicy meats + the cashews is what did it
I think I ate the thing in under thirty seconds.
I will straight up destroy me some Whataburger if presented with it.
Also I probably need to go to the store and cook up a bunch of food but I really don't feel like it today and I think that's gonna be a Wednesday thing because ill have all afternoon to do it and study.
Lucky I still got some beef fajita meat leftover from Thursday
I am like on year five of my plateau

Got a bunch of romaine, some chopped up chicken tenderloins (garlic powder, salt and pepper), chopped R/Y/O peppers and about .75oz Caesar dressing (yes, from the store, because it's delicious and I don't care). Makes for a super tasty salad. I think the dressing and the sweetness of the peppers really works together and I just devour the whole thing and love every second of it.
Next step is really trying to keep dinners under control and not go too crazy. I really want to try and focus on proteins and veggies, but my wife doesn't like eating the same thing every night (including salad), so it's a little trickier finding things to make to keep variety up that we will both still enjoy eating (sorry, I just love salad and will eat it every day).
Our last frozen pizza is gone and only a few cans of Dr Pepper left (I finished what we had, then family visited and bought new...). Slowly finishing off the 'bad' things we have so we can start filling the fridge with better things. Although, the last couple weeks our fridge was so full of veggies and fruit we could barely fit anything in there (Costco grapes and pineapple, half a watermelon, a cantaloupe, 1lb raspberries).
Also I checked my blood pressure at work, Kroger's got that little machine for it, and it said I'm 136 over 80. A little high, but nothing to be too worried about.
This might be a bad time to also say that I ate like, 4 whole pieces of bacon and 4 large eggs for breakfast :B @Mogs
Is it a diet thing?

Yeah the weight loss slows a bit, I definitely lose slower at 195 than at 260. But look at it this way, each pound is a more significant percentage of the total when you're a lower weight anyway.
Also I totally noticed my eggs were about to reach their expiration date and ate the last 8 all at once the other day.
BUT I WANT THAT CASH UP FRONT! NO QUESTIONS, REMEMBER?
My blood pressure is higher than yours
In other news, who gives a fuck?

Ecco pretty much eats to survive. i swear his tastebuds are absolutely ruined by years of his mother's horrible cooking. ruined. He doesn't care how the food tastes, just that its food. which is both good on those nights where i can't be bothered cooking. but on the nights where i cook, it's kind of disturbing that i know it's kind of wasted on him.
but yeah.
why does food have to be so good. or at least why does the food that i find amazing have to also be bad for me.

Why can't I sleep I dunno
4am and wide awake
Why can I never just sleep 8 hrs
Okay tomorrow I'm making a doc appt, or rather, today
I command you to sleep!
Lunch is some grilled chicken breast and some steamed vegetables, usually broccoli or a salad.
I have another serving of whey protein after my workout when I get home
Dinner is more chicken and veggies, maybe some brown rice.
Outside of a cup of black coffee in the morning and mixing my whey powder with 2% or skim milk all I drink is water.
The only time I've broken this habit is when I went out to eat weekend before last and had some sashimi, and the other day I grabbed some salmon and red cabbage from a place downtown for lunch at work. My diet was never really the issue to begin with, it was near complete inactivity. Sitting at a desk for 10 hours a day, going home and being mentally exhausted from all the bullshit I put up with at work, and then sitting around at home doing nothing.
So I started spending 30 minutes on an elliptical trying to at least keep the rpms above 35 regardless of the resistance or vertical scale 5 days a week, and then lifting MWF with the 30 minutes of cardio done after the workouts. I bought a bathroom scale on the wednesday of my first week doing this and weighed myself in the evening when I got home just out of curiosity. So it's been something like this.
I'm 6' 6" if that helps you with an idea of my body type.
Week 1 - (evening) 317
Week 2 - (morning) 310
Week 3 - (morning) 310.5
Week 4 - (morning) 314
Here's my current workout routine.
Monday
Squats
Lunges
Dumbbell Tricep Kickback
Standing Dumbbell Curls
Wednesday
Bench
Incline Dumbbell
Flyes
Dips
Friday
Deadlifts
Standing Dumbbell Rows
Dumbbell Overhead Press
Bent Over Single Arm Rows
just a basic 3 sets of 10 reps or as close to 10 reps as I can get, if I'm able to do 10 reps without issue, I go up on the weight. I'm doing this at home, and I don't have a squat rack, so I've just been holding dumbbells.
I'm not expect instant super results, I just want to make sure I'm not wasting my time by not doing enough, or doing something wrong.
But I'm not gonna lie, I could be completely wrong. I'm not an expert.
Edit: I actually have one at work with me that I'm going to re-heat and eat for lunch later, and a little scale I've been using to measure, this one breast is 150g.
1lb of muscle weighs the same as 1lb of fat. The difference is how big 1lb of muscle is vs 1lb of fat.
