HI!!![]()
Hello,
Name is Mike and I'm pretty new here to IM. The short time I have been here though I've gotten some pretty good info and decided it is a site I will frequent often. Anyway, I have decided to start an online journal. I am fully committing myself to this endeavor. While everyone tells me I'm skinny and need to gain weight, I feel like I need a short cut. I really want the fat off my abdominal area and I want to be able to see the coveted six-pack. I am sick of messing up on my diet (binging) and avoiding cardio. I am going to post on my journal everyday, including my meals, workout, and emotions. Basically I'm looking for a little support, although I'm not expecting many to reply since I'm knew.
Stats
Age 19
Weight 170
Height 5'10"
Bf 13-15%
Currently am following Max-OT training. I am on week 8 and have found it to be extremely effective. I am somewhat unsure of what nutritional plan to follow but I think I'm going to stick to the regular 40/40/20. I am thinking I'm going to eat roughly 2000 calories a day, is that too low? Anyway, I just wanted to put my goals (loose bf to 10%) and dedication into writing. Hopefully some will help me along the way.
PS-Today I binged again.....it is my last one for a long time!!!

PS-Today I binged again.....it is my last one for a long time!!!Stop the binging and get on a plan. I think 2000 - 2100 cals a day for you is good. Get working on your plan of 40/40/20 here so that your diet is in order and you stop the binging.
Show us a meal plan and we can help you along. Have you read the stickies in the top of the Diet and Nutrition FOrum yet?If not DO SO!!!!

Today I felt pretty good. I had more energy than I normally do and am unsure why; although I am definitely not complaining. I had a good workout but had to change it up since I was alone and didn't have a spotter. I ate pretty well today, although I was a little low on calories. That is fine with me because I have some ground to make up. I noticed by having this journal I'm more attentive to my eating and lifting, it makes me feel responsible to someone. I will make tomorrow even better!
