Eggs

Hello all and welcome to my new journal!

I'm going to start journaling again to keep myself on task and see how I improve over some time. I've kinda been taking too much time off now and then (like at Christmas and the Summer, etc) and its setting me back... so I'm going to start pushing myself to lift year round and not take time off really except for short rest periods.

I'll post more later, just wanted to get this thing going

Hey Justin! Glad to see you started a journal! Best of luck

I told Jenny I wasnt going to post diet, and instead try to keep it in check just by eyeing it. Either way, heres what my diet was today just for fun.

Meal 1: Protein shake

Snack: Banana

Meal 2: cottage cheese/peanuts

Meal 3:
Moo Goo Gai Pan (its vegetables and chicken).
Pork fried rice
wonton soup

Meal 4: Turkey Kielbasa (has a relatively high protein to fat content)
a few peanuts

Meal 5:
The other half of the Moo Goo Gain Pan and friend rice (big servings).

Meal 6: Protein Shake

Jenny

Hey honey

Workout looked good yesterday Though why do you do 6 sets on the flat bench? Why not devide them into 3 sets of 2 exercises? Well, that's just what I would do, and you said you wanted opinions

Diet, well, you eat like a girl Actually less than a girl cause I'm a girl and I eat more than that Add some fat to your shakes, I know you like peanuts and pb And what's with the fried rice Honey, I know you're struggling to get it together with all the crappy college food and everything, you're doing a good job When we're living together I'm going to make sure your diet is perfect

Jenny

Here's a few ideas on what you can buy and keep in your dorm kitchen:
*Fruit, big bag of apples
*Peanuts (I know you like that one )
*Tuna (cheap and good when cafeteria food is a disaster)
*Brown rice that you cook up in bulk
*Cottage cheese
*Chicken cooked in bulk the Jenny way

I know it takes a little effort but it will be worth it It's not all that expensive and if your computer starts behaving and not forcing you to spend $$$ on it, I think you can afford it

Jenny

And I think you should keep on posting your diet honey, it will help you plan it and get it together

Love you

Jenny

Oh, and :
*A big bag of frozen broccoli

Eggs

Meal 1:
50g protein shake

Meal 2: (in this order)
yoghurt (with sugars )
cottage cheese
little bit of potatoes
cottage cheese (split it into two portions)
scrambled eggs
2 sausage paties
grits
apple

*Note: Kind of a big meal, but it looks bigger here than it really was... and I stacked it so the more easily digestable stuff was at the top to spread the protein absorbtion out over a longer period of time.

Meal 3:
Tuna
1/4lb of deli turkey slices (dont need no stinking sandwhich )
little bit of chicken salad
onion slices
1/2 head of Broccoli

Meal 4: Protein shake

Meal 5:
sliced carrots
small portion of potato salad
turkey breast deli meat
2 pork chops
broccoli

Meal 6:
protein shake

Good Luck!! I know Jenny will keep you in check She's a sweetie!!

Jenny

I sure will And he thanked me in chat, he's not pissed at me for helping, even though he didn't comment my comments here Just thought I'd clarify that

Justin,

Eggs

ncgirl - Thanks, and yeah, I have no doubt she'll keep me in check

Eggs

Hey beautiful!

Thanks honey I'm really trying to work on increasing strength in chest... as that one doesnt come easily to me. So I hit it hard with the bench press. I'll look over some routines and see whats recommended for that.

I ordered some fish oil! At work I eat lots of peanuts too, because I buy peanuts in shells that are unsalted. I need to get some that dont have shells though, just makes it easier and they are pretty inexpensibe still. I'll add some fats in honey.

Haha, too many smilies... retry!

Eggs

Hey sweets I was going to respond to you but got to working on my paper and forgot to, so here it is. Nah, I'm not pissed... I'm thankful that you're helping me

And yeah, you'll do a good job of keeping me in check

Jenny

I'm glad you ordered some fish oil, you need it

You should add some more clean carbs too since you're bulking.

Jenny

More isn't always better Check out Gopro's routines, I've heart they're great

Good job on ordering the fats

Don't hate me, I'm just looking out for you
