Becoming A Jaw Dropper

fufu · 01-01-2007, 12:08 AM

yack, I'm assuming you are taking liquid fish oil?

They are a significant source of calories, IMO. Whenever I count cals I always include fish oil, because it usually can range from 50-100 cals throughout the day. Not alot, but I like to keep track.

brazeneye · 01-01-2007, 12:17 AM

I would be adding 183 calories a day to my daily food totals, but I still want to keep it seperate, otherwise I'll start skimping on my meal plan thinking I would be consuming too many calories to be cutting.

This brings my weekly total to:
Calories: 1630 / Fat: 50g - 28% / Carbs: 117g - 26% / Protein: 170g - 42%

And yes, liquid fish oil.

Something 'fishy'

happens to my tummy when I take it in capsule form, so I stick with liquid.

fufu · 01-01-2007, 12:21 AM

Yuck, I don't think I would be able to do that, EVOO is hard enough.

Macros look solid. I think I just ate your daily caloric intake for dinner though.

It's not so bad.. It's lemon favoured.. Not that, that makes it any more appetizing. I think I ate more than 2000 calories for dinner tonight.

Crab Spinach dip, Caesar Salad, 7oz Top Sirloin, veggies and a slice of cheesecake.

Thank god I start cutting tomorrow.

fufu · 01-01-2007, 12:28 AM

Mmmm, I always enjoy the last hurrah before jumping on the cut truck.

brazeneye · 01-01-2007, 12:29 AM

Yeah, I don't regret it, it was a great meal.

But I am actually looking forward to cutting, cause I always see results pretty quickly.

Yeah, you and 85% of the rest of the country.

Of course, half of those will give up by Friday...

brazeneye · 01-01-2007, 09:59 AM

Ew, I have no interest in indulging further. I'm sticking with this, like I always do.

brazeneye · 01-01-2007, 12:29 PM

*squeels*

Ughhhh.. I am going to have to do this, but it'll be gone before I know it..

Pylon · 01-01-2007, 01:41 PM

Good for you. Posting pics is one of the toughest parts. But it will be good in the long run for you.

By the way, you've got a solid foundation to start from. A lot of people would be happy just to get to where you are. Good for you for wanting more!

brazeneye · 01-01-2007, 01:49 PM

Yeah, it's a big emotional weight let go, because I've always been going around hiding it lately, because I am not 'what I used to be'.

Thanks for the support

Pylon · 01-01-2007, 01:54 PM

That's why we're all here!

Triple Threat · 01-01-2007, 02:56 PM

You made it sound like you were the Pillsbury dough-girl. As Py said, you're now where many people would like to be. Good luck with the goals.

Double D · 01-01-2007, 04:28 PM

Little bit of pudge here and there, but will be easy to cut it right off. Especially with this place being your guide. This will be easy!

By the way thanks for clearing up the fish oils and the others your are taking, glad to know you are using them. Now lets get this shit done!

fufu · 01-02-2007, 06:35 PM

It appears you are training with a "bodypart" split. Splits that train movements(like push and pull) or upper/lower are more efficient for most people. Keep in mind that when you train your biceps on friday, they got worked the day before in training back. Try to train things by what get worked in certain movements rather than just picking bodyparts. However, it is a huge improvement from what you had before.

The exercise selection looks good though.

brazeneye · 01-02-2007, 06:39 PM

I have to now figure out how heavy of a weight I need to use to each exercise

Start with a relatively light load and work on proper form and controlled reps. Then just work your way up and map it out. You really have to pick up and see how the weights feel at this point.

Yeppers.. I am just going to go to through the motions a couple times so that I 'get it', then I'll start upping the weights

fufu · 01-02-2007, 06:42 PM

So will you be in a gym or training at home? What do your equipment look like?
