I find that my workouts keep me in the gym for only about 1/2 an hour. I'm focused and plow through the workout, but is that long enough???

Definately long enough. If you are pushing hard you will grow muscle and lose bodyfat.
You grow outside of the gym not inside, its what goes in your mouth that makes you look like a hottie. Thats my favorite new word, so excuse me.

Speaking of hotties...I saw your pics from your show...very nice and congratulations!!!

Have the Peanut butter (3 tablespoons) or the cream (4 tablespoons)not both

Meal #2
Tri-tip appx 2 cups
String Beans 1 cup
1 apple

What is tri-tip? Do not have a fruit in this meal, you NEED some brown rice or a sweet potato

Meal #3
MRP
2 tbsp PB
1 Nectarine

If this MRP has carbs then dont have a fruit, you should not have PB twice a day, substitute it for your yummy flax (1 Tablespoon)

Meal #4
2 scoops protein
1 tbsp flax seed oil

Too many shakes in your diet, you need real food here. Should have your meal five here instead of your meal four

Meal #5
Large chicken breast
1 cup Peas
Bell Pepper / Feta / olive oil salad

Good meal, but whats that feta doing there? Did it slip in? LOL.

Meal #6
2 scoops protein
1 tbsp PB
1 Apple

Holy fruit day! You are only supposed to have 2 pieces of fruit, Peanut butter once a day (the rest flax or mayo or dressings) and max. 2-3 shakes.

1 Gallon water

How many liters in a gallon?

Opps i just read this, i geuss you know what to do for tommorrow. Wheres your eggs? You lose the diet i gave you?

Other than that, does it look alright?

Your doing great, just need a little adjusting here and there. Did you feel hungry today? How about yesterday?

Have a great day tommorrow. Excited to see a spotless diet post.

Tomorrows will be spotless. I dropped the eggs for yesterday and today because it is tough to choke that many down, I will pick them up again tomorrow.

Tri-tip is a cut of beef (lean after I cut the fat off)

I slipped so many shakes in today because I didn't make my meals the night before and accidentally woke up late...had to get to work in a hurry.

Feta...mmmmmm (just had a little)

Arent you a man Joe? Choke those eggs down, i am a little girl and i can do 6 eggs i am sure you can handle them. LOL.
Til tommorrow.

OK...I didn't get the opportunity to post yesterday's meal because of being too busy. I will wait until the end of the day to post today's meals instead of doing them one at a time.

Great day, keep it up.
How did you feel? hungry? tired?
Could you post your totals for the day when you have time.
The calories/protein/carb/fats count.
Keeping track of the food you have eaten is good to do on www.fitday.com its a great website tht calculates everything for you. Take a look when you get a chance.

Okay...I have been out of commission for an entire week with some sort of flu. I have been unable to lift and have been unable to follow any type of diet. In other words it has been a wasted week.
Now it is Monday, I am back at work and back on track. I will be working chest and tri's this afternoon and I have started the day with:

Meal #1
5 egg whites, 3 yolks
1 cup oatmeal

It is good to be back.
