174 this morning

I have been working this week to open my body up to a bit more food types and some more carbs, allowing an occassional slip and whatnot to see what is going on.  My weight loss pretty much flattened out at 175 (I think I have hit a sort of plateau, something I will need to address) so I figured after almost 4 weeks of Atkins pretty much well done, I need to take a sort of break.  Not a “go back to McDonalds” type thing, but rather to just allow a little more stuff and let my body (and liver) take a break from constant ketotis.  Then given a couple of days, I can flip back on and take a shot at getting past that plateau I am on.

I played some badminton last night, but as it was out season ender party I did cheat slightly on some stuff, but small portions and just enough to enjoy the tastes, not really eating.  This morning, I am 174, which is not a terrible thing.  So from now until probably Saturday, I am still “on the diet” just not keeping as good track of things for a couple of days to relax myself.  Then Saturday I will do another sort of induction, trickle over into ketotis again, and get to work in the gym as well to push things.  My original goal was 170ish, but now I am a little more agressive and looking for 165, which would be major wow.

Anyway, I will keep it up 🙂

A general sort of a day

Well, it is tuesday, I sort of missed Monday as I was working kind of hard and then got pulled away on other issues that really sort of confused my day.  That and the fact I am still trying to recover from badminton on Sunday, my legs are damn sore.  I am not use to the rubberized floor, it is VERY hard on my legs.  I think that once I play there a little more it won’t bother me as much, but I really do prefer wood floors as they have a little slip and give to them.  The rubber ones are pretty darn hard.

I have been working more on putaface.com, attempting to get it working well and to find more good feeds to add to the site.   It is a little difficult because every provider has different rules as to use, and some of them are just rude and don’t answer emails.

In the same sort of idea, I am also working on a site called Porn Pig.  This site will have a ton of blogs and other sources feeding it with new and updated links daily, my aim is 100-200 new items on the index page every day for your enjoyment.  Check it out, bookmark it now, because you will love it soon!

Anyway, I am going to try badminton again tonight (even if I am in pain) and hopefully I won’t die 🙂

Sunday Sunday Sunday!

Another wonderful rainy uck kind of a day… but at least I am in a good mood.

First off, the weight thing:  175 again this morning, I certainly feel that I am on a plateau right now, but that should change over the next few days as exercise becomes part of the game.  I am looking forward to some intense badminton today, again tomorrow, and some lighter work on Tuesday.  After that I will be a YMCA member again, so I will have the ability (but not sure about desire) to go to work out or at least play more badminton.  If I chase around enough I can find badminton to play every day or at least every other day, so that isn’t bad.   I am aiming to get good enough to qualify for tournament play this fall.

If the weather gets a little drier, the bicycle will be back in service as well.  I have to be careful because my knees are not up to that much on the bike for now, but a little bit every day (even 20-30 minutes around the neighborhood) will help to work the muscles and build up a little wind, all the while encouraging my system to pull fats and turn them into energy.  Bike riding is good because you use some of the biggest muscles in your body, which means you have the potential to use much energy.  Overall not a bad thing.

As for other things, well, I will be working some more on the new movie review site which for the moment is mostly headline news rather than deep and detailed reviews.  However, I am hoping to change that around over time, and encourage people to post reviews.  Hey, check the site out, maybe you want want to write reviews as well.

There will certainly be some porn slung today too.  Want some sexy live porn?  Click here for Sexy Live Porn – well, actually, it is a site I own with the new live Amsterdam feed right on the page.  Check it out and enjoy 🙂

Saturday… a day like any other, I guess

Well, here I sit at my desk, contemplating stuff.

I am posting this in more than one section today because, well, all sorts of stuff in this one post.  My mind is being it’s usual ADHD self, so I am thinking about 10 things at the same time.  I am not joking when I say that during this post I will likely go away to another window at least 5 times, check mail, and basically get lost in non-related and unimportant things as it happens.   It is the nature of my slightly fried and very hyper brain.

Atkins wise:  Yesterday was not the best day for me.  I felt tired all day, listless without much energy.  My weight remains a pretty unchanged 175, which makes me think I have hit either a metabolic wall or there are other issues I am not grasping.  I am eating pretty much “by the book”, but I am pretty much stuck.  I am also not enjoying the lack of energy that I have had for a few days now, so I am looking for alternatives.

Well, today I guess I took the other route, and went out to eat.  Woohoo, I actually went out and ate something that wasn’t measured, checked, or weighed.  Lovely.  Kojax (a montreal greek fast food style deal) is pretty good, so I stuck to an Atkins version of it:  Meat, more meat, and some more meat… with salad and feta cheese.  1/4 of one pita bread (about the size of a dollar bill cut in half) as my carb break buster (more on this in a second) and hot sauce to dip and enjoy to make it all good.   I came home feeling pleasantly filled but not over stuffed, and I surprised myself by finishing the salad pretty much before I touched much of the meet.  In my mind, that is a pretty good deal.

As for the Pita, well, I know that is a big no-no, but I am starting to feel that my carb count per day might have been a little too far under for it’s own good.  This is doubly so because I am about to start working out more (badminton at least 3 times a week, plus bike and some weights) and after the crappy feeling I got on Tueday after playing, I don’t want to take the chance.  Tuesday really put a little fear into me, as I am really feeling that my carbs were so low that my body was not even able to refill and replentish my muscles as I exercised, which left me pretty weak towards the end and playing poorly, plus making me feel a little sickly.   I got the same sort of feeling after riding my bike as well, and that makes me think that I am not getting quite enough carbs to work out properly.   Regardless of diet, working out is important and having enough energy to do it is as well.  So I am more than a little freaked out on the concept.  So today I added in 1/4 of a pita (nothing big) which should have put in about 8 or 10 extra grams of carbs.  I will be careful the rest of the day not to blow the number out, but I need to see what if anything that will do for me.

I can tell you that after a long sleep (about 10 hours) and a decent meal, I am feeling quite a bit better and more focused.  I was really sort of losing the plot last night, and that bothers me no end.   I was so gone out that I didn’t even wake up on the alarm this morning to check out Formula 1 Qualifying, which is something I pretty much always watch.  I also missed the practice sessions, which is pretty strange for me.  Proof if nothing else that i really haven’t been myself.

Now, on to other more fun stuff.

First off, I added live chat feeds directly into findpics.net.  If you go to the new sites pages (click here) you will see a new window called “really live now”.   This really is a live feed, with a number of camera options.  You can open a free account over there and chat with the lovely girl, or just enjoy the view.  It is live from Amsterdam, and it is freaking hot!

Second I am still working on the new 1 hot tgp.  This site has a nice mix of galleries and such, and I am adding a ton of new ones every day.   I will be adding some great archive pages over there shortly, so you will be able to find everything you love 🙂

I am going to work on some stuff this afternoon and this evening, so I will come back to post more as it happens.

Have a great Saturday!

Another day in paradise I guess

Not really, just the same old shit different day.  176 this morning, but well, my hours were screwed up by having to take my car for service really early, so I don’t think I slept a full cycle.  As a result, I take all of today with a large grain of salt.

The car is fine, some stuff I could do to it one of these days if I have the urge, but generally things are okay.  The front sway bar bushings are squeaking again, and lubing them is about as expensive as replacing them, so that will get done some time soon.

Now, as part of my “lose weight get into shape” thing, I am going to step up my badminton (yu ma cho /  羽毛ç?ƒ ).  There is a fairly good league int he west end of Montreal, so I will be working over the summer to see if I can qualify to play at a decent level.  To that end, after 3 years plus of playing the same racquet, I went to buy a new one today (which I will get all nicely strung tomorrow) – a Yonex Nanospeed 7000.  It cost more than all the others I have combined, so here is to hoping that I enjoy it.   It is my reward / encouragement to get back to it and try hard.  The next tryouts I think are in  September, so I have 4 months to step it up bigtime and see where I can land.   I am lucky that i have some friends that are much better players and they will encourage me to try hard.  It is a really good thing, and I think being 20 pounds plus slimmer than before should make the game a little easier to play too 🙂

Motivation is your friend.

New site: 1 Hot TGP

I love comus thumbs.  It is a pretty amazing program that lets people like me create great thumb TGP sites without a million years of program and manual thumb making.  It is an amazingly flexible piece of programming, and a real boon to site making.

Itis also also directly a boon to anyone who loves porn.  I try hard to put it into action any time I can, and this is one of those times:

Fresh hot porn galleries @ 1 hot tgp is my latest creation.  It updates all the time, and I have packed it with some very fresh galleries (many more movie type galleries) and some of the classic best galleries.  I am putting a ton of stuff on here, so there will be some archives up soon.

Check it out!

175… and that is that :)

Okay, I hit the magic number that is making me happy, 175.  That is the signal for me that it is time to start cranking the carbs (but not really sugars) back into my system and to start to work out more.

I also got a secondary signal last night, while playing badminton.  Near the end of the night, I started to feel very tired and very weak, not getting good recovery speed or anything.  Usually a few minutes break and I am good to go, but in this case I was pretty much worn out and not feeling really up to anything else.  This is certainly a sign that my blood sugar was probably pretty low, and that the conversion of fat to energy was no longer matching up to my needs.  For me it is a (perhaps false) indication that I have burned off all the easy fat, and now it is just the leftovers I am dealing with.  It may also be an indication that the carb levels in my system are just too low, and that I am missing important stuff to actually convert fat to energy.  Either way, it tells me that my diet restrictions are likely now too severe to get done what I want on those last 5 pounds, so change of course.
If I am going to work out and get more exercise, I will need to have enough energy to get that done.  So I am going to very carefully add in some more carbs, possibly allowing a fajita type shell (15 net carbs or so) in at least one meal, so that there is something there to work with.  Yes, this will pull me out of Ketosis, and I am sure my liver will be happy about that.  But I have a feeling with decent eating and exercise, the rest will come.  I will continue to work on the food side of the equation until I find that carb limit for losing level where things are still going well but I am no longer denying myself quite so much.

IMHO, Atkins works, even for someone like me who was only in the 20-30 pounds need range (I am at 18 pounds off now).  It is a clear indication that things are possible, and that this sort of deal works at least during the intial phase to get your body changed completely.  I am sure I have burned off fat that has been stored for years, and that is a real good feeling.

More as it happens… the game isn’t over yet 🙂
