Just a tip, but think of your workout days as day 1, day 2, etc. Don't try to tie your workouts to days of the week. Inevitably, you're going to miss a day. If that happens, don't skip a day, simply wait until your next workout day then do the workout that you missed.



Do you really plan to do legs and shoulders twice a week? Or is this really a three day split? It appears that you've decided to do a body part split and not a push/pull/legs routine. Is there a reason for this? I'm not saying that a body part split isn't the thing to do (Heh, I do it), but have you chosen to do it, or are you not aware of the push/pull/legs split?



What type of cardio are you going to do? Because you really shouldn't run before a leg day (you'll end up cheating yourself out of a good leg workout).

Good Lord, I've never done that.



Don't try to do too much, too soon. Take it slow and easy. But yeah, cutting fast food out of your diet is a great place to start. About the "no carbs after 7PM" thing, go read the stickies Diet & Nutrition. Make sure you don't fall for any dieting myths.



How much to you weigh now? What body type are you?

So, you lured your wife in with a hot bod and let it go to shit?

"The extreme ectomorph may have long fingers, toes and neck are long. A pencil neck you could say. The features of the face are sharp, and the shape of the face is triangular. The lower jaw is somewhat receding. The skin tends to burn easily."

If you haven't heard of push/pull/split, then I suggest you read the stickies at the top of the training forum.

"Yes lured the wife in and then after the hook was set I sat down at Taco Bell and ordered everything on the menu and a the keg of beer from the corner store to wash it down. Just I forgot to get up from the glutton fest until now."

Remind me never to marry you.
