what this is about
This journal is to keep track of my progress/plans/research on fitness and nutrition. It's more for my own use, but others are welcome to read up!
It's about time that I keep meticulous track of what I'm doing in the gym and with my diet. I wish I'd kept better track last year x_x Looking back at some photos... dayum. I remember what I generally did to get into that awesome shape.
Starting tomorrow I'm back into it full throttle! Well, as full throttle as I can get right now. Last week I slipped at work and fell hard on my hands and knees. My left wrist hurts like a sonuvabitch when I use it too much, but my right seems back to normal. My left knee started to hurt during low-impact cardio this past week, but it's improving. I should throw in some cycling.
I'm starting out at my highest weight ever ^_^; I'm 5'5" at about 140 lbs. Fortunately much of the weight I've gained is muscle, so as I lose weight again I'll look more athletic and defined.
So! What I'll be doing is having roughly 1500 calories a day with a 40/40/20 split. I'll be having about 155g protein, 155g carbs, 25-30g fat, 30-40g fiber along with fat supplements (fish oil, CLA, evening primrose), a multivitamin and calc/mag/zinc. When I tally up my daily totals, I'll add 4 grams of fat for the oil supplements.
I'm going to start taking Lipodrene again (EC stack.) I've been trying out Cytolean, and while I think it could help you get results, nothing is as powerful as an EC stack.
I'll be doing cardio Monday - Saturday mornings: 4 45-minute steady state sessions, 2 high intensity interval training or running sessions (30-45 minutes in length.) Steady state sessions are usually before breakfast, but anything more intense is 90-120 minutes after.
Weight training will be Monday - Friday in the afternoon or evening with 20 or so minutes of low intensity cardio afterward.
It's all going to look like this...
Monday
AM: 45m cardio
PM: legs, 20m cardio
Tuesday
AM: 45m cardio
PM: chest, abs, 20m cardio
Wedensday
AM: 45m cardio
PM: back, 20m cardio
Thursday
AM: 45m cardio
PM: biceps, triceps, 20m cardio
Friday
AM: 45m cardio
PM: shoulders, abs, 20m cardio
Saturday
AM: 45m cardio
Sunday
Rest!
I think that about covers it. I'll post each day with my diet for the day, how my workout went, how I'm feeling, blah de blah. I'll throw in some cool articles I come across as well.
Support is appreciated!
