It poured rain here all day Tuesday, providing for one of those great afternoons for cutting out early and heading home for a nap…
Instead I worked late and closed a particularly difficult deal then headed to the gym. Great workout by the way. 16 exercises, again, most in sets, body weights and dumb bells. I could count exact but I am estimating somewhere around 400 reps. 80 Squat Curl Presses. That one move is a good finisher, if I am not taxed by the time I start them, I am near failure by the time I am done.
Tuesday morning I started the day weighing 205 best non-flu numbers I have posted to date. This morning after a very clean eat day I weighted in at 206.8. Being that I have been away from the gym for almost a week I’m hoping its replacement muscle.
I’m 12 days into TNT here are my vitals, BP 131/78/54, Sugar 159, (posted a 114 on Saturday evening I think it was) weight 206.8. My INR has been bouncing over the last month, this week it was 2.0, last Tuesday it was 3.5, target is 2.5. I am not sure how the new way of eating is going to affect it but no matter I will dose the diet.
Still a little Boat Show hangover this morning, though for the most part, I feel Good!

INR – now that is a new one for me. Looked it up. I have no idea about the impact on that. The only impact might be the amount of veggies and resultant Vitamin K – but I am guessing – widely.
Amazing that you started this in the middle of your Boat Shows – WOW – talk about not cutting yourself a break.
If you have questions – you know to just ask – including PMing.
Good Eating

Hey TNT,
No better time to get started. If I had not started when I did I would have gone to Portland and come back packing 5 more pounds of fat. As it turned out, on the 17th I weighted in at 208.2. Come Monday the 22nd I was 205! First show I can recall where I have lost weight.
I didn’t play like a virgin though, couple days I had a couple of beers and taxed myself a clean eat for it. Figured if I could come home with a split I would do well, ended up 7 & 3.
INR is not to bad, being the type of valve I have (an On-X Carbon) I test my INR every Tuesday morning and report my numbers. I am part of a FDA study. I can dose my diet so to speak. Vitamin K can affect the value as can alcohol.
You have got to know I’ll be hitting you with questions. I thought I would post one on the TNT Board just to introduce myself into the conversation. I have a question about my eggs in the morning. Are eggbeaters as good as the real thing? I will be throwing up a post soon,
I’d be pissed if you don’t reply!
Be Well,
How’s your Mom doing?

Egg beaters are for wimps. They are worthless on this diet.
My mom is recovering so very slowly and being where she is – eats away at her sanity – as it would to any of us. Thanks for asking.
Post on the TNT Forum – you will get a good discussion going.
Also – 2 light beers <3grams carbs – Michelob ultra are ok – tastes like water – switch to wine or hard liquer.
