How's the diet coming along?

Yeah 4am is what I gotta do for a workout. No other time to do it. I gotta be a work at 06:15am. If I go after work then its just too crowded and hotter then heck there.
Diet is ok. Not structured as it should be. I need to do some better meal planning.
Thanks for stopping in!

Yeah I never noticed I was really cheating. But I guess my form sucked. I always have an open mind to things thus I'm going to try that out.
Yeah can't wait to get my camera.
Thanks!!

I gets no love in here I guess.

I can always count on Gary, Denise and BBGirl.

How did they check your bodyfat, calipers or bioelectrical impedance? Your build is something along the lines of mine, if I dont train and just eat whatever I want.

Lol Matt. More people don't come to this journal because you post so sporadically.

Btw, are you going to the state fair? I haven't been there in years. I guess Tony Hawk will be there one day and late August, there's going to be a natural bodybuilding comp.

Yeah, I need to post more. I just don't ring up post counts like alot of people do. Here I'm in learning mode 90% of the time. On the softball board i'm on I can teach and be more of a smart a$$

I plan on going to the Fair. Thanks for passing on the info to me. Are you going then?

aggies1ut · 08-08-2005, 06:51 PM

May or may not go to the fair. I should though, considering how I haven't been there in ages and that bb comp. looks cool.

I know it's hard when your on the road a lot, but you pack your food in a cooler the night before right? Try to get some EFAs; fish oil caps are very portable, increase your veggies, try to get better carb sources like brown rice, oats, yams, sweet potatoes, etc. Also, your calories look sort of low for your height and weight.

I take 18 fish caps a day so I have that handled.

( I haven't posted all the supps I'm taking right now.)
I usually prepare food the night before work. My problem is at this time since I got off of graveyard is planning my meals better cause it has turned me upside down.

It seems to low even though I'm attempting to lose fat?

I forgot to add I drink about 6L of water a day. My conversion skills suck with L to Gallons so I'm not sure how many gallons.

Tomorrow there will be no workout/Cardio since I have a playoff game tomorrow night in softball at 20:30 and when we win that we have a game right after that. I don't wanna zap my energy since its been real hot here. Plus I pitch and that can be sort of tiring in its self!

I'm Trying · 08-11-2005, 07:02 PM

We won both games last night and I didn't get home until after 23:00. Thus no workout this morning.

I didn't wanna get sick from lack of sleep. Will take tomorrow morning off too. I have a big tournament on Sat.
