Smile A new and improved........ME!!

BODYBUILDING SUPPLEMENTS
High Quality Supplements For Bodybuilders and Athletes. www.ironmaglabs.com
Okay, I think it's time I get my shit together and stop feeling sorry for myself about everything that's been going on. I'm once and for all going to get the body I've always wanted, I'm going to finish school and I'm not going to let anything or any MAN stand in my way.

Stats:

Height: 5'8
Weight: 143-145

Goal Weight: 130-135, defined body and a six pack!!


I'm not following any "certain" diet. I eat clean foods and I "try" not to eat any carbs late in the evening. Every Saturday will be a no carb day.

Plan: I am going to do cardio at least three times a week for a minimum of 20 minutes each session, most of the time more. This will be moderate cardio- not HITT although I may throw one or two sessions of HITT in a week depending on how I feel.

My Weights workout will be: (Thanks Jen- hope you'll keep an eye on me again- your the best!!)

*Will start on Monday because this week's already a little f'd up!

Monday: Back/biceps
Tuesday: quads/calves; cardio
Wednesday: shoulders/chest/triceps
Thursday: cardio/power sculpting
Friday: hamstrings/calves; cardio
Saturday and Sunday I plan on doing cardio, but if I don't it will be no big deal. I'm going to live life for me and to the fullest.

Meals today:

1: 1/2 cup Dannon Lit'n Fit Vanilla Yogurt, 1/2 cup LF cottage cheese, 1/2 cup fiber one cereal, sprinkle cinnamon, 1 tbs. SF syrup

WORKOUT: shoulders/chest/triceps

2: broccolli and carrots (2 servings each)= 100 calories, 2 oz. chicken, 1/2 small can mushrooms, sprinkle of FF mozzerella cheese (This meal generally would have a carb source such as an apple in it since it's after weight training, but I forget it today)

WORKOUT: power sculpting

3: stir fry (broccoli, g. beens, carrots, mushrooms), 2 oz. chicken, 1/2 cup egg whites

4: protein shake

**My meals look, hell are lite today, but I'm am slowly trying to increase my calories back to normal.

This is a picture of me a few months ago, I am a little thinner now and will add pictures in a week or so as well as take measurements so I can track my progress better. I hope to be to 138 by the end of April. Once I reach my goal I'm going to concentrate on muscles!!

Miss ncgirl21 ... you look fabulous.

But being a husband, I know that saying that doesn't make you not want to attain whatever goals you have set ... so I wish you the best. I think eating clean, hitting the gym and not worrying about diets is an excellent choice.



just kick'in it in the ole Charger

Good Luck Andrea!

You and I have just about the same stats only I don't look as good as you!!!

Regarding your diet - yeah it looks kinda low on calories. But I know that was just one day, not everyday. I think your lean meats should be about 4-5oz per meal. Add in some more carbs too - don't fear them. (not that you do).

Morning

Today's been good so far. I finally got up a little earlier....... but, then I was being lazy watching t.v. and still ran late!

Meals today:

Meal 1: 1/2 cup of lf cottage cheese, 1/2 cup Dannon Light 'n Fit Vanilla Yogurt, 1/2 cup fiber one cereal, SF syrup, cinnamon

WORKOUT: Light upper body (lower is SOOOO sore from last night's class, will do legs tomorrow); cardio for 20 minutes

Meal 2: Broccoli/carrots/cabbage, 2 oz. chicken, 1/2 can mushrooms- rinsed, sprinkle of FF mozz. cheese

Don't know about the rest of the day yet. I'll have to save a few calories for a couple drinks tonight !! They will most likely be tuna and veggies and a protein shake later

Saturday will be no carb day and leg day along with some cardio!! I may do some HITT, who knows?

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Yeah, it'll be a toughy, but I'll manage!! I may make it low carb, depending on how I feel.

Hey NC, tomorrow will be my leg day too....I'll be thinking about you.

I've done no carbs on a leg day before -- It really wasn't that hard. I was hungrier having nothing but protein, but it was all good. You'll be fine. You know what I did? I just made sure I had some turkey slices w/ me all day long

Have you worked out already ? I like to workout before I go to work. Leaves the rest of the day open for whatever.

Workout was good!! I was done in like 25 minutes, so I did 13 minutes on the stair climber. My arms and back feel tingly- so that's a good thing .

Gary- I work out everyday at lunch. Occasionally I'll get up in the morning and do some cardio, but that's only when I can get my lazy ass out of bed!!

Jen- Hey Sweetie !! Hope your having a great day . I'm still taking the fishies, I need to buy some more though, I'm about out!!
