I figure I'll start me a journal!
I'm always too lazy to get out a pen and paper and keep track of the things going into my body, so maybe typing out will keep me better goal oriented.
Current Stats: Age: 20 Height: 5'9" Weight: 167 BF%: 8 I guess my goals are simply to attain maybe 8-10 more pounds of solid muscle, and greatly increase my strength. I'm not trying to be one of those super big body builders, but I also don't want to be known as one of the lanky types. Right now my training split is as follows: (I tend to train on intuition, so this isn't very concrete...but it is a basis for my workout) Monday: Chest/Shoulders Tuesday: Back/Bi's Wednesday: Usually off, sometimes some abs/aerobics stuff. Thursday: Chest/Triceps Friday: Again, usually off. Sometimes I'll just do a lagging muscle on this day. Saturday: Legs/abs (sometimes just deadlifts) I know, I know...I train chest twice a week...Right now I'm on a bench program that tells me to do so. It's a lagging bodypart for me, so shush with the comments. Alright. We'll start by logging today's meals, and I'll edit as I go. Friday, 7/25/03: I got about 8 hours of sleep last night and woke up at eight. First meal: Three scoops of EAS Whey Protein Heaping half cup of oats. 9:00: Trained triceps Second meal: Creatine/dextrose Three scoops EAS Whey Protein. 1 Tablespoon Peanut Butter Third Meal: 6 Portobello mushrooms 10 oz. chicken breast Fourth Meal: I burnt the brown rice i tried making, so i made some oats instead. 1/2 cup oats w/ a touch of honey 1 turkey burger 1 scoop EAS protein Fifth Meal: Myoplex Lite Bar 6 oz Chicken Brown Rice Sixth Meal: 8 oz tofu 4 oz chicken a bunch of mushrooms and brocolli 2 scoops eas whey Last edited by Nate : 07-25-2003 at 06:30 PM. |

Meal One - 1/2 cup of oats with a dash of honey 2 scoops EAS whey protein Meal Two - 10 oz. Chicken Breast with very light italian marinade...mixed w/ 1 head of broccoli 1/2 cup(uncooked measurement) of brown rice Meal Three - Same as meal two Meal Four - 1/4 cup blueberries 1 tablspoon heavy cream 3 scoops eas whey 1/4 cup oats Meal Five - Myoplex low carb bar 2 scoops EAS.. Bad day of eating today. Edit: Eh, actually, I did well today to eat what I did. My family had a big cookout thing today and I was in the kitchen baking all kinds of bad things all day long. I didn't touch any of it. Hell, my dad even made grilled barbecue chicken pizza, my absolute favorite, and i resisted. Last edited by Nate : 07-27-2003 at 09:52 PM. |

Off day today. No lifting or cardio.
Meal One: 1/2 cup oats 1 scoop optimum protein. 1 Turkey Burger. Meal Two 1/2 serving cell tech 2 Talapia fish filets (8 oz.) 1/2 cup brown rice 1 head broccoli 3 cherry tomatoes all combined in a skillet and cooked with a spritz of olive oil and a teaspoon of soy sauce. it was all downhill from here. the kitchen ran empty, and i had to eat two trioplex bars and a protein shake to make up for the second half of the day. i think of all decisions, the trioplex bars were the best i could do. no worries. chest day tomorrow!!

Because it tastes good with oatmeal.
There are also some great health benefits that come along with eating Manuka Honey. I've been doing it for about a month now and I'm still losing bodyfat. |

Alright, it's been a few days.
The only thing that has gone awry in my diet was my trip to the Olive Garden saturday night. I can't say I feel the least bit guilty, because I ate pasta for the first time in about four months last night. It was great. I also had a small sliver of birthday cake which I'm sure didn't amount to much. I avoided the breadsticks, which was something of a miracle for me, haha. All in all the damage was minimal and I'm right back on track today. This is what I had. I really find it hard to believe that this entire meal amounted to just 460 calories, but I guess it's possible. http://www.calorieking.com/foods/foo...&food_id=60323 Meal one: 1/2 cup oatmeal (no honey today. 2 scoops pro-lab whey Meal Two: 2 1/2 servings of tofu 1/2 tomato 2 flax oil pills Last edited by Nate : 08-10-2003 at 11:15 AM. |

And the worst part of it all is that my good friend is a server there, and he brought about 20, no lie, 20 breadsticks to our table. |
