Thanks Tim. Believe it or not, your small "tuna w/water tip" has helped tremendously. Also, knowing I'm not the only one who HATES eating like this EVERY day is a BIG help too. Thanks for looking out for me. I hope someday we can meet at a show or something. Not until I LOOK like a bodybuilder, though. :Not Worthy:

Way to go Terry............nice one!! It`s always good to know that other`s who are dieting think it sucks too........we can share the pain..........but think of how good you`ll look after eating all that food that would make a billy goat puke!! :Double Puke: I`m totally serious.........once you endure the long diet, and training/cardio that goes with it,to wake up one day and look incredibly good, as opposed to when you started the diet,all the sacrifices are worth it. Just wait until you hear all the positive comments from family and friends,it makes it worth all the effort you`ve put into it. It would be cool to meet at a show ......who know`s,I have met quite a few people from the boards at contests. I`m choking down my can of tuna with water as we speak! ![:-[](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/embarrassed.png) Keep up the good work,and remember that the diet is 75% or more of bodybuilding.............unfortunately for us! ![:'(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cry.png)

88 days & counting. I'm at work, so here's the start of today!
Meal 1(0400) 1 Myoplex packet(42g protein) 8oz Skim Milk(8g protein) 1/2cp(dry) quick oats 1/4cp raisins 2pkts equal dash of cinnamon Meal 2(0745) 1 can water packed tuna(32 g) 1/2cp(dry) Success brown rice 2tbs teriyaki
***sleep from 0800-1400(6hrs)***
***NOTE: Today, I started doing legs a bit differently than in the past. I've always had good thigh sweep, but have lacked development on the inner quad right above the knee. I have always done EVERY leg movement with a close stance & think this is what has attributed to my thigh sweep. Now I'm moving to a wider stance on everything, but still going just as deep(well below parallel) to hit the inner, lower quads. I know my strength will probably suffer at first b/c I'm not used to this, but I'm sure my quad development will be better off in the long run****
Workout-Quads/Abs/Cardio(immediately after workout) (1420) Leg Extension-80x20/120x12/160x10/200x6 Squat(wide stance)-135x10/225x8/315x5/405(wraps)x2**NO SPOT** Hack Squat(wide-toes out)-270x8/320x8/360x4**no spot AGAIN** Seated Leg Curl-80x12/100x10/120x7 Stiff-leg Deadlift-135x12/185x8/225x5 Hanging Leg Raise-Bwtx10x10**had to cut Abs short b/c I had to pickup the kids. I figured rather than SKIP cardio, I'd do a bit of abs & then throw in a HIT cardio session & at least get SOME cardio in as well! I have to get up a bit earlier or move a bit FASTER during my workout**
NOTE: The wider stance hit everything EXACTLY where I need it, so it looks like I'll stick with it for a while....
Cardio(immediately after workout)-Bike/Interval/Level-7/15 min/5.20 miles
Meal 3(1615) post workout shake-2 scoops 100% whey(44g protein) 8oz 1% milk(8g protein)
Meal 4(1745) 6oz(Raw) chicken breast tenderloins(42g protein) 2cps frozen broccoli/carrots/cauliflower 2tbs teriyaki marinade
Meal 5(2200) 6 large eqq whites/2 yolks(26g protein) 1oz cojack cheese(7g protein) 2 tbs Smuckers Natural Peanut butter
Daily protein was 209 grams. Another day down & 87 more to go. My routine is finally coming together & I feel like I'm getting in the groove. I've been looking forward to each workout & I haven't been hungry at all. Let's see if we can keep this momentum going!

Ok, it's been one week since I started getting serious, so I thought I'd weigh & measure myself, just to see if I was heading in the right direction. This morning I weighed 240lbs. That's seven pounds lighter. I also lost a half inch on my waist. I know the first week is mostly water weight, but it's encouraging nonetheless. 12 more weeks to go!

Meal 4(2100) 6 large egg whites/2 yolks(26g protein) 2oz cojack cheese(14g protein) hot sauce
Daily protein was 164 grams... Another great day in the books. Only 84 more to go!

Great work on the seven pound decrease, regardless of wether it's water weight or not. It still means the same thing you said- your heading in the right direction! Keep up the good work. I notice that you count protein and not carbs, in your journal anyhow. Is there a specific reason why you do this?

Post by Mrbig7 on Feb 28, 2005 19:52:45 GMT -5
Thanks for the words of encouragement YB! I've never counted protein or carbs before, so I thought it would be a good idea to keep track of it in this journal, just to see where I'm at. When I've dieted in the past, I'd say I averaged 90-110 grams of protein a day, so this is a BIG change for me, although according to most I sources I should be getting even more. We'll see how this works, though! As far as counting carbs, I have a pretty good idea of what I'm getting, so I'm not too concerned w/that at this point. Why do you ask?

Post by youngblood on Feb 28, 2005 22:07:47 GMT -5
Tim, I can officially say after that last post, you have too much time on your hands!!! Is that you doing the sculpting?
Terry, the reason I ask why don't count carbs in the journal is because I wanted to know if you count them at all. Not to go into a long diatribe, but I believe carbs are the biggest thing to avoid for weight loss goals. If you do take in too many grams of protein, fat or carbs, I think it's the carbs that's going to put a halt to your progress faster than either of the other two. So, really, I was just seeing if you count them at all, and since you say you know what you take in, you'll have a good idea what to drop once you stagnate-if you do that is.

Thanks Tim! I'd agree w/YB, you have WAY too much time on your hands. :Happy Spinner: Almost 2 weeks down. I'm anxious to see if there are any changes in my next set of progress pics. The ones AFTER this set will be the MOST dramatic, though, as I'll have over 6 weeks of straight dieting on them. YB, hopefully I won't stagnate, but I've got a LONG way to go, so I'm pretty sure it WILL happen at some point. I definitely know what to cut when that time comes, though. Thanks for looking out for me. :Thumbs Up:
