    On the Road to DieselLand! (Not Vin, either)

    After a lot of resistance (mostly in my own brain that I would be a dork if I created a journal), I have decided to start my very own journal. Why, because after reading the journals of a few people, J'Bo, Jodi, TxDeb, and 666 in particular, I thought it might help to have the watchful eyes of the IM on me to make sure I dont blow it. So here it goes:

    STATS:
    Where I was:
    5'9"
    230 lbs
    25%

    (I got as low as 165 lbs and realized that I started looking like an Ethiopian!!)

    NOW:
    5'9"
    185 lbs
    15% BF

    SHORT TERM GOAL:
    5'11" (as if)
    175 lbs
    10-12% BF

    DREAM:
    6'2" (hey, I'm dreaming)
    200 lbs.
    10% BF

    I'm not looking to be the biggest dog in the yard, or even the most cut up, but I do want to look like I get busy in the gym, instead of being Joe Slacker. Ultimately, I do not feel like I have far to go and I am in no rush to get there. My goal is to lose the weight very slowly, hopefully retaining my hard earned size.

    LIFE:

    WORK: I work in the marketing department of the NBA (very stressful)
    HOME: Married almost seven years to a fantastic chick who is my best friend, best workout partner and fiercest rival.
    SOCIAL LIFE: We do not have a lot of friends, but the ones we do have we are very close to. Lots of movies/dinners and hanging out at home. (My wife went to culinary school for a while and is an amazing cook so she is very popular and dinners at my house happen quite frequently.) Now that there is a smoking ban in NYC-thank the lord-we hope to visit a lot of places that we could not have in the past. My wife is superallergic to smoke.
    MALE BB MODEL: Shawn Ray (I wish I could say Gunter, but he is such a freak I could never aspire to be him
    FEMALE BB MODEL: Jenny Worth and Adela Garcia Friedmansky

    Now to the real stuff...

    FOOD:
    I eat like five-six times a day. I do not count out my food (dont have the patience) to the letter but I know what satisfied feels like (instead of the stuffed sausage feeling). I am a big fan of my George Foreman Grill and every sunday I make a stash of chicken/steak to take to work). I also get food from leftovers that my wife makes. Our goal is to never feel deprived. Just because you eat healthy doesnt mean you have to eat crap food. Of course, there are lot of things that we stay away from:

    Meal times look like this (this is my food for today:

    Meal One: 5:30am (preworkout - a sandwich with peanut butter -sometimes yogurt)
    Meal Two: 9:00-10:00am (50-60g protein shake with 1 cup of oatmeal. I start drinking my shake as soon as I leave the gym, around 9:00am. Then I have my oatmeal when I get to the office - Sometimes I will have a bagel-ohmigod, I'm going to hell
    Meal Three: 1:00pm (I was starving by then but I got stuck in a meeting) 7oz Chicken breast with 2 cups of salad (baby spinich, avocado, asparagus, onions, tomatoes, sunflower seeds and raisins)
    Meal Four: 4:00pm (not sure yet) - probably round eye steak sandwich on a whole wheat pita with some pistachios (I often have a protein shake with an apple here)
    Meal Five: 6:30pm - often on my way home from work, I will make a 40g protein shake for the train ride home, especially if I know that dinner will be on the later side. Doesnt happen every day.
    Meal Five/Six: 7:30-8:30pm - whatever my wife cooks - whatever she makes I know it is going to be balanced and superhealthy (although she makes too many good carbs)
    Meal Seven: 10:30-11:00pm - my wife has to have dessert every night and I join her. If I didnt have my shake as meal five (which means I ate dinner early) I will have it here with some lowfat graham crackers or snackwell's vanilla creme cookies. I also have a lot of sugarfree Jello.

    On the weekends, food plan is out the window, with an dramatic increase in carbs. (umm, whole wheat pancakes)

    WORKOUT:
    Weights: Anna and I work out five days a week with a five day split. I usually do two body parts per day (either through supersets or by adding in a smaller BP). This weeks plan looks something like this (although I change it constantly.) I usually go M-F with the weekends off, but sometimes we go (T-S, because we really love a spin class on Sat).

    TUE: Back/Bis
    WED: Chest/Fores
    THU: Legs (everything)
    FRI: Shoulders/Traps (cardio)
    SAT: Tris (cardio)

    I also do abs three times a week with Anna after our workout. I do cardio three times a week, spin classes on Monday and Friday (or Saturday) and a third cardio session, either on the treadmill or elliptical.

    Whew that was a lot of crap. I wanted to leave nothing to the imagination, but hopefully that explain my whole life. I will post today's workout separately. I look forward to the analysis.

    how long are your workouts for? Have you ever tried keeping the same routine for 4-6 weeks? When I was in San Jose my training partner always wanted to do something different every week and then when I moved I went to a consistent routine with a change up every 4-8 weeks. And have been getting better results.

    TUE: Back/Bis
    WED: Chest/Fores
    THU: Legs (everything)
    FRI: Shoulders/Traps (cardio)
    SAT: Tris (cardio)
    After looking at the volume your doing each workout, this is just a suggestion:

    Chest
    Legs
    Back
    Shoulders
    Arms

    My workouts are usually 1:15-1:30 for chest, back and legs and 1:00 for shoulders and arms. I dont change the actual exercises, but I usually change the order from week to week. As for the split, I have enjoyed doing back/chest or chest/back, but I know I would be able to kill them both better by breaking them up with legs. I will commit to that next week.

    As for the height, I am doomed to being average! Damn!

    it would be good to post your plan as well. I noticed a few things like in the above like the Stiff Legged Deads on back day, but they are a leg exercise for the hamstrings.

    nobody is average, height isn't a big deal. It's all atitude and how you handle yourself that makes ya different from everybody else.

    DV, When you say "post your plan," do you mean my overall workout plan? If so, I will do so.

    As for the stiffies, when I started doing deads, I only did regular ones. Someone at my gym told me I should mix in stiff legged one as well so I rotate between the two.

    I didnt think I was going to be hungry for my 4:00 feeding, but by 4:10, I was starving like marvin. I had to finish a project so I didnt each until 5:00. But I had a handfulf of baked pita chips and 1/4 cup of cherries to past the time.

    Meal 4#: 4:30pm - homemade microwave pizza with round eye steak, 1/4 cup carrots 3 tbsp tomato sauce and 2 oz of veggie mozzarella on a pita. 1/4 cup of pistachios

    Regular ones are awesome for the back, but the stiff legged ones are for your hamstrings. They maybe said that because you feel it in your lower back as well, so they were having you do the SLDL to strengthen that.

    Yep your overall workout plan, that way you'll get input from everybody. I can tell you work hard and push yourself. But we might be able to cut a few exercises and have ya go harder on others to get a more efficient workout that helps ya grow at the same time.

    Meal Five 8:30pm-We got take out from the Pump, which is a great BB restaurant (no oil, butter, no fat-all delicious) in New York City. All the big dogs and fitness chicks go there when they are in town (and there pix are on the walls). Since the NOC is next weekend, I'll be hanging around to sneak a peek.
    6oz steak burger, 1/2 cup spinich, tomatoes, onions, peppers. Yummy.

    10:30pm-scoop of B&J Cherry Garcia FroYo (a bad vice), a graham cracker

    Katie, Anna comes and go on the board, but she is still a little scared to post. I'm working on it. I will PM you her e-mail address so you can contact her directly.

    Meal Three: 12:30-1:00pm
    Not the best food strategy. Got caught up in a project that I could not shake and had to snack at my desk and run into a meeting. At least the meeting had food:
    1 banana
    1/4 cup of grapes
    1/4 cup pistachios
    6oz turkey breast (sandwich meat)
    plate of Salad
    12oz of shake (leftover from this morning)
    Olive Oil

    Meal Four: 5:00pm (way too late-was starving by now)
    6oz chicken breast
    2 cups Leftover Salad
    Sunflower seeds

    Meal Five: 9:30pm (way too late again and didnt do well on fat intake)
    6oz flank steak
    Salad
    1/4 cup brown rice
    1/2 cupf sugarfree jello (yummy)

    MAY 23: Food
    Woke up really hungry again. Maybe I am getting to the point where I will need to have a snack in the middle of the night (which would suck cuz I need my beauty sleep)
    M1: 5:30am
    PB&J Sandwich

    M2: 9:15-10:00am (got to work really hungry.)
    50g whey shake
    1 cup oatmeal
    1/4 cup regular raisins
    Cinnamon

    Still trying to get the hang of my ideal oatmeal pairing. Also, one of favorite all time foods is cherries and I found some Rainier ones at local food vendor. I am going to try and wait until my next meal, but I may not be able to resist. Yummy!

    Food has not been good today. I think I am letting stress of work get to me. I just ate a bag of pita chips. I love them and they are pretty low in carbs and fat (which is why I love them) but I have never eaten a bag in a sitting, and after I ate. Not good!

    Completely slacked off on the journal yesterday, but I ate pretty well. I am inspired by going to the NOC and it has shown in the gym so far. I am going to try today and go completely minimal carbs just to change it up, which i am not looking forward to, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

    M1: 6:30am
    1 PB&J sandwich

    M2: 9:30am
    60g whey shake
    1oz sunflower seeds
    (boy, some oatmeal would be great now!)
