I am very interested in what your nutrition plan consisted. If you dont mind sharing. You can pm me if you would prefer. Fantastic job. I need to make this commitment as well.

I joined Livestrong.com and got serious about eating clean and tracking my calories. I learned about my BMI,BMR,TEE and about Macro's. I stopped all sodas, snack foods, fast food, snacks and almost all sugar ect. I set up a diet the best I could for my conditions, It would vary day to day though. These are basicly what I would eat. Notice lots of deer(venison) I hunt and dont buy beef. All serving sizes were kept to 1 cup on the meals... so example deer chili and rice... ( 1 cup(cooked) rice and 1 cup of deer chili) Steaks, burgers and chicken were always about 5 or 6 oz.

Been a long time since I up dated. I wound up getting all the way down to 192 lbs and a 34 1/2 in waist. Then I started to try and maintain for a few months. After that I started eating more in order to try and put some weight back on and build up a bit. I have found it real hard to stay as leaned out as I was and gain weight but I have gotten back up to 205 lbs now and gained some size. I have added some back on to the waist But its damn sure hard not to when gaining. I have reduced most of my cardio and have just been lifting for the most part for the last several months. About OCT time frame I plan on going on another cut phase thru spring. Last time I lost a bit more mass then I wanted to(not that I had much,,,LOL) so Im gonna try to go a bit slower and try to maintain some of the gains I have gotten and see how its looking. I have one more year to go untill I hit 50, I want to have a few more lbs of muscle on me by then and try to be leaned out good... work in progress...any way heres where Im at now...

about the end of cut...
