is this coffee to drink or coffee bean as chocolate coffee bean?
To drink :)

The brand is Brothers. You can scoop out the amount of beans you want and then grind them right there at the store, so i bought about 1 cup of coffee's worth of each of those flavors, to try 'em.

I was looking for one just now! Apparently their site was taken down. The bag of coffee says it's distributed by Procter & Gamble though. So that was gonna be my next place to check for it.

As for the complex carbs post workout - I have been reading up, and the general advice I've collected all points to eating the fruit with the protein, instead of the complex carb, because since it's a simple sugar, it provides faster delivery and restores glycogen to the muscles faster, as opposed to the comp carbs with are slower to digest. So from what I understand it, the complex carbs pre workout, simple carbs immediately post workout with protein. If I'm wrong, somebody please tell me so!

I've been trying to stay away from shakes and bars, and resort to them only when in need out of convenience (traveling, etc.), sticking to real food as much as possible.

It's a BIG apple! :( See i have to work on my shizzle. I don't like bananas much, though I know a lot of people at bananas with their protein post workout.
 
Yes, I think an apple would be good with a pre workout meal
 
I'm gonna take a day off today. no cardio, no abs.

i have a lot on my mind.

Hey GG, did you try my oatmeal creation yet?
Tomorrow morning. :) My sunday breakfast. I've got it all planned out! Unless i can't wait and maybe i'll make it later today for the hell of it hahaha!

I'm making those stuffed peppers right now, and some fish fillets, and possibly the spanish sauce chicken i posted in the recipes section.

Man... i am all over the cooking today!

It is my goal to get to 1300 by the end of next week if not sooner.
well... i did meet this goal this week, even if it was with vanilla creme cookies.

My next goal is to get up to 1400-1500 this coming week. I'm increasing my carb portions in some meals, like 1/2 cup of barley instead of 1/4, and 1 cup of oatmeal instead of 3/4, etc., as well as my protein portions in others from 3 oz. to 4 oz. I also need to take more efa's. so i'll add some caps to some of my later meals.
 
busy cookin' today

Stuffed Peppers (96% lean ground beef, barley with cinnamon and olive oil)

Edit that -- my goal for the next two weeks is to get around 1600 cals a day, at 50-30-20. No matter what. And then up from there some more, two weeks later. This is ridiculous and I'm not going to sit here and give myself an eating disorder out of fear or inexperience. I swear I never understood what some of you folks have gone through until now. This is hard!
 
New Split Starting Tomorrow

I'm changing my weights workouts a bit, mostly because I don't want to rush at the gym in the morning before work. Coupling legs and shoulders in a circuit one day and chest/back/arms another day has often turned out to take longer at this gym since there are other people using the equipment simultaneously or the equipment I need is spread out across the gym. I find myself cutting corners or substituting exercises I don't want to substitute in an effort to get a full workout, shower and still make it to work by 730.

So I'm gonna break it down into simpler workouts, as heavy as I can go, high rep to failure (no more counting), short rest periods between sets. This will also allow more time to concentrate on each muscle group. I'm also going to cut back on cardio, maybe just do a class once a week or something instead of wasting away on the stairmaster and treadmill six days a week.

The next four weeks should look like this:

Week 1 - Nov 8-14
Legs/Abs
Chest and Tri
Off (Abs at home)
Back and Bi
Delts
Legs/Abs
Off - Spinning Class

Week 2 - Nov 15-21
Ches and Tri
Back and Bi
Off (Abs at home)
Delts
Legs/Abs
Chest and Tri
Off - Step class

Week 3 Nov 22-28 (*Traveling)
Back and Bi
Delts
Off (Abs at home)
Legs/Abs*
Chest and Tri*
Back and Bi*
Off *Spinning Class

Week 4 Nov 29-Dec 5
Delts
Legs/Abs
Off (Abs at home)
Chest and Tri
Back and Bi
Delts
Off - Step class

If anyone has any suggestions, now would be a GREAT time to chime in. I'll take all the guidance I can get. I'd like to build up some more muscle, and make a conscious effort to not worry about the fat until later.
 
Hey, that split looks like my current revolving split....lol.
 
Pfunk? You're a spinner too?
