I think I'm back on track. I know I probably haven't eaten as much as I should have this week. I've been really sporadic with it, but for the most part everything has been healthy and the alcohol has been really limited. I think I have had 9 beers from Sunday to today. So that's good, I just need to work on getting my appetite back, but not going out and eating a pizza like I did over the weekend. So far today, I've had a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast, and a post workout shake. I'm probably around 500 calories intake today and I plan on having subway 6 in twice ($5 footlong) for two more meals with some fruit probably bananas as I am in love with them now. Then for dinner I think my parents are making me something

I was able to get to the gym this morning (it had been a week without going...) so I'm really excited about that. I was able to add 10lbs to my squat today to. So that's really awesome. I was repping at 215 lbs but I went down when I hurt my right hip flexor so now I'm back up to 195 for reps so that's sweet. I'm going to assume my max is probably somewhere in the 230's but I haven't maxed out as I never have any one to spot me. I think this might be hampering my progress in putting up more weight, but I'm not to worried about it. I might be having an old friend move in with me soon, and he is a marine and he wants to work out with me. I'm really excited about that, we are talking about getting maybe a heavy bag and some training mits with the gloves that way we can train a little on boxing. This has been something I've wanted to do for a while now, so I'm pretty excited for that possibility.

Anyways, back to the title of my blog. Rip said it, Billy did it, and I'm agreeing with it. When I see some of the old tymers in the weight loss game going at it hard, it makes me want it so much more. Since I read Billy's blog the other day, I've been super motivated again. I think this has to do with the reason that I'm super competitive. I really want to win, but I'm not saying I have to just lose 11 lbs because I think that would be unfair to Billy so I'm going to say I have to have a 5 day average of 11 lbs lost. Especially because my weight is like a roller coaster. That means my 5 day average will have to be 196.6 lbs...I got a little off topic here but when I see Billy, Rob, Rip, Kevin, and Beck posting about their journey it really motivates me. For the most part the coalition has been quiet. I think Geoff and I are pretty much the most active bloggers and I know I only post 3-4x a week. Rip has been great with his comments, but I don't want to speak for everyone, but I really like to know what's going on with everyone else. So everyone should post a little more often!

And as I say this...I probably won't be able to blog until Monday because my mom is having surgery on Friday, and I might be in Ohio to help my brother move...crazy weekend coming up for me. I'm planning on eating 100% because I know I'll probably be partying a little bit...

Anyways, sorry for the rant, and good luck to everyone in the 11 lbs race!
