Just an example of what I have to deal with at work. This is the menu from 1 of the 2 cafe's we have. It is all free.
Today I did the wok with veggies and chicken and some brown rice. Today is a rest day from the gym so being extra conscious of my food and went a little lighter on carbs than on gym days.

Workout plan is linked in the first post. My schedule does allow for it so long as it's a priority for me. I can't put it off for other stuff or because I'm tired.

True that! Need that first stick vest!
Today is rough woke up early to go to cars and coffee and look at cars. Then rolled fenders and now leg day. The most dreaded of days at the gym. Diet is good though and while I'm tired I am feeling good.

Holy mother of god 50 x 3 on the leg press. What in gods name possessed this man to do such a thing. Best part is he's doing it with 6 plates on each side too.
I wouldn't be walking for the next month
Clearly need to up the intensity on my workouts. I'm tempted to jump on the bandwagon and try this 12 week program out for myself

Yeah he is a beast. Those are old videos also. I follow him on facebook and he has that damn thing fully loaded even more than in that video. Guy is a beast. I pushed through 3 sets of 50 with 10 45 lbs plates on there and felt like barfing and standing after was tough.
So 1 week in so time for an update.
Starting weight 235 lbs
Current Weight 232 lbs
Total loss so far 2 lbs
Oct 5 goal weight 185 lbs
Gap to goal 48lbs
So lost a few lbs the first week. Not terrible but I expected more. Still fine tuning the diet and I need to get really strict with the portions. I am happy I managed to resist all the temptations this weekend. Tech day with the S2000 crew meant lots of beer and junk food but I ate my chicken, beef jerky and protein bars. I was also able to do 1 set of 6 reps with 100 lb dumbells in each hand. Didn't think I could still manage that but felt good to know I hadn't dropped to far in the strength department. That was also a rare morning workout so I could have done more had it been later in the day like I am used to.
Yes I do cardio as shown in the work out plan posted in the OP. 2 20 min sets a day. I don't run because of the stress it puts on my joints. I do steady state cardio which means walking usually or climbing stairs if I am feeling extra ambitious. I need to get a bike and ride that around some also. I have to fit those in during the day which usually means a walk around lunch time and one before I leave work. I have a really nice trail that I can walk that my office backs to.
