The Real Breakfast of Champions

The morning after.
After removing the bandages I was impressed that there was no bleeding. Quite a fine job on the stitching. Anyway, here are the pictures of the morning after.

Surgery Today

| After the Surgery. |
Had a little surgery today to remove a couple of Cysts. The scarest one is pictured above on the back of my head. the other one was pretty tiny, but is the most bothersome after it was finished. It was in the upper Right abdominal region. The worst thing is that I will have to refrain from Karate for a week else I will end up ripping the stitches in my abs.

My Butt Hurts!
Decided to go and buy a bike this weekend. I have been watching my youngest, Hailee, ride her bike round and round the cul-de-sac for weeks now. I started thinking about how I do this whole Karate thing with my oldest and haille just didn't really like it. She was doing it more because we were all doing it. Well I mentioned the possibility of getting a bike and her eyes lit up at the thought of riding around our neighborhood together, so I bit the bullet and headed on up to Dick's Sporting Goods with her and bought myself this nice mountain bike. When we got back, her and I proceeded to take an hour and a half trip up to Turkey Lake Park up the street from us. It was a lot of fun and I look forward to more rides with her. Although my butt is not very happy with the whole deal. I need to find a better seat. Ouch!

The 4 Hour Body's Slow Carb Diet Continues
I am into my 4th week on the diet and seemed to have hit a plateau on the weight loss, well that is until you look at all the numbers, then it is staggering at just how much fat I appear to have lost. 29 LBS of fat! Now I know these Biometric scales are not the most accurate, but from what I read they are decent at recording changes over time, and even if I take into account a few percentages for water fluctuations, I am still at over 20 lbs in three weeks. I would say so far so good, and damn good enough to keep me going.
One thing I have learned is that the morning is not the best time to weigh myself as I appear to be too dehydrated to get accurate numbers, so I have opted to just weigh myself later in the day and just keep an eye on water levels as well.
As far as the diet itself I have not had much trouble sticking to it. I rarely get cravings for anything in particular now and if I do, I simply add it to my mental list of things to eat on Saturday. Actually I find myself having to force myself to eat as I am not really hungry that often. I am thinking that might have something to do with my workouts, for even though the diet is presented without having to workout, I am working out like a madman at the moment. 6 times last week, and the workouts at my dojo just keep ramping up. Last night was a solid 50 minutes of 3 minute intervals switching from bag work to jump roping with some alternate exercises such as squat jumps thrown in. I truly hit the brink of death last night, and my body feels like a furnace today, so It will be interesting to see the numbers as I continue.
Still a long way to go to hit 220 though.
Oh yeah, one last note. I also decided to introduce a little cottage cheese into my diet this week, so breakfast has been 3 organic eggs and about half a cup of cottage cheese. In the spirit of 4 hour body, you could say I am doing a little experimenting of my own. The only thing I am confused on is the whole eating carbs or fruit or whatever within a half hour of strength training. Guess I need another read through the book to help try and clear that up.
And another note. Since the number vary so drastically. I decided to change the total to a rolling 3 day total. So it now averages the last 3 weigh ins to give me a more accurate picture of my progress.
