Posted by: BodyByHeinekenª

I'm back from a 2 day drinking errr.. fishing trip. This is my 10 week contract with myself. I will take bodyfat measures every 3 week. I do not expect any major visual changes until at least 3-4 weeks later. First real entry tonight when I'll get back from school.

GOALS: Get six pack of ABS ..or scientifically speaking, drop my body fat about 6-7 %.

STATS as of July 14th, 2003: 195lb, 15% BF.

Ok, here we go now...

Good Luck! Do you have your meal plan worked out yet?

Will not post meal times...it's a hassle...i'm a lazy bastard... I eat about every 3 hours. I don't think my eating habits were all that horrible: avrg 5 meals a day, small portions, no saturated fats, little sugar, etc... My drinking habits are another story. I'm not a nutrition wiz though, I do need help with it. I haven't really looked into supplements in depth, so I'm not taking any. I played around with creatine some time ago and came to conclusion that I do not need it. The only thing I take is a centrum multivitamin. I think I'm a decently educated recreational strength trainer fairly familiar with most concepts. If I'm obviously mistaken somewhere, please point it out. Now, without any further ado:

1 banana
Atkins advantage drink
1 nectarin
1boiled lean beef sandwich with multigrain bread
tomato juice 2 cups
steak n cheese soup 1 can
tuna sandwich
ultra-protein drink 1 can
muenster cheese sandwich with multigrain bread
1 nectarin

caloric breakdown:
2000 total, 600fat calories, 150g of protein

no working out due to time constraints and being hungover from my fishing trip.
no alcohol tonight.

would eat veggies if i had any, but I don't :o
suggestions?

This was a terrible day. Too many carbs too little protein no excersize tomorrow I have my calculus exam. I will not be able to excersize tomorrow again. I'm gonna compensate for this tomorrow. I also need to go shopping as I have no clean food left. Today was a f*ck up but I'm driving on with a hard on. ARGGGG!!

You know that banana's are very high in sugar and one of the worst fruits to eat while trying to lean out!



Posted by: BodyByHeinekenª

Roger, thanks



Posted by: BodyByHeinekenª

I was in school studying all day for an exam. I was very bad, hehe. Let's call it my cheat day. I'm going shopping today and after tomorrow I'm renewing my gym membership and hitting the weights again.



Posted by: BodyByHeinekenª

Hey, in case youre wondering, I'm alive and well, got back from training with my guard unit Sunday night. I renewed my gym membership today and had a killer arms workout. Does a brisk 15 minute walk to and from gym count as cardio? I dunno Also, I finally got around to do shopping so I can keep up with my clean diet. The good news is, I only had one beer this whole time and I ate pretty clean. I guess I'm gonna pick up where I left off tomorrow. I never realized what a busy person I am.

A combination of broke and hungry lead to a greasy dannish. I feel sorry about that. On my way back from school I had to go to a Barnes and Noble that took away from my gym time. I only had roughly 40 minutes to change and work out....But with determination, and a little adjustment I should get on track very soon

I did not drink at all today

Well I've been pretty good today as far as eating went. yes i could've done without the visit to the salad bar but i figured its mostly protein and fat so I'll be ok

I couldn't squeeze in a workout today because I was highly unmotivated when I came back from school at 10 PM. However, I did force myself out for a brisk, brief walk to the grocery store and back. Yay.

On the positive note the cuts on my abs are getting noticably deeper but i still have some fat left on the obliques

Throw your bread out to the birds

Today was a day from hell. The day started fine, I spent about 8 hours cramming calculus into my head and then later I found out I'm going to Iraq. I had a beer and a losagnia.



Posted by: Jodi

Wow! When are you leaving? What branch of service are you in?



Posted by: BodyByHeinekenª

Army national guard. It seems like i'm being plucked out of my life. I'll resume my diet when I have a bit more certainty in my life. Right now I have a little more to worry about then bodyfat percentage.
