Today my family went to the zoo. We had a wonderful time together as a family, I managed to keep my diet in check with being out all day.

8AM – 1cup Oatmeal, 5 egg whites, 1 whole egg, 3 strips turkey bacon

11:30 – 5 baked chicken strips

2PM – Snack – Protein Shake

6:30 – Chipolte – Brown Rice and Chicken Breast

8:30 – Protein Shake

11:00 – Protein Shake with 1cup Oatmeal

 

Current Weight – 192

No cardio today sinced I walked all day at the zoo

Today was my first time in a late night workout in a long time. I auctually really enjoyed it, Jay Cutler 4x Mr. Olympia said that he likes to workout at night since he has consumed most of his meals so he feels fuller. I felt the same way today, the pump I achieved after my workout was amazing.

One a strange note, while on my cutting diet I have gained 2 pounds… Which I know is muscle since I can see myself leaning out. My abs are fully visible and I can see the seperation between the left and right side of my abs.

Today I started with incline bench press – 4sets of 10 at 145l bs (I tend to go lighter since sometimes this puts strain on my shoulder)

Cable Flys – 4sets of 10reps at 188lbs – This was amazing to me it felt light!!

Flat Bench – 4sets of 10reps at 205lbs

Overhead Cable Pulls – 4sets of 10reps at 105lbs

 

Today was back on track for my diet, I cannot afford to derail like I did lastweek. I can feel and see the difference in the way I look. With the holidays coming up, I will need to be extremly careful in what I eat. I will more than likely eat some of the white meat turkey, and maybe some mashed potatoes. I also will bring my own sweet potatoes to keep bring in some of the complex carbs. The hard part is going to be seeing all of the pies going around and not taking my portion…

8AM – Cardio Session 1

9:30 – Breakfast – 1c Oatmeal, 5egg whites, 1 whole egg, 3 strips turkey bacon

11:00 – Protein Shake

2PM – Lunch

4PM – Shake

7PM – Chicken Breast and rice

Now that I look at my intake today it sucked. Will need to improve on this in the upcoming weeks.

Today was my relaxation day, no cardio, no weightlifting. I take both Saturday and Sunday off from lifting, and by Monday I miss it. We are usually gone most of the day on Sundays, so keeping my diet in order is hard. I mean by keeping my diet in order, its hard for me to eat on time. So I missed a few meals today, but I did manage to keep my diet clean. So tomorrow is a new day and the third week of my contest prep.

 

On another note, I enjoy all of the questions and comments I get in person from my friends and family.

Today was an interesting day, the day started off right with my diet. As the day progressed it got worse and worse. I’m not going to even bother to post todays diet because it was so far off. The interesting thing is that I can feel the difference in my body betweeen a couple of days ago and today with eating the wrong things. Tomorrow is a new day, and it will be right on the money. I did manage to get my cardio in today. As of Monday we are heading into the third week of contest prep. It is time to start taking progress pictures and posing videos. Don’t know how much of that will make it on here. Thank you guys for reading and for your support and comments to me.

On a side note, I can see which words people typed to get here. From Yahoo blog search if you type “before and after shake weight results” apparently my blog comes up. This blog is the furthest thing from the shake weight. So I got a good laugh from that it could be that I am just really tired and it not really that funny.

Today my diet was a little off, I meant to go to the grocery store last night. I ran out of eggs, so my Breakfast was missing a vital part of its nutrients, so I had to figure something else out.
