I started a journal in 2020, in March. Life got away from me during the year and I was actually making good progress until late Oct, and then lost my mother on 11/2. It was a tragic loss for our family and it was sudden as well. So during Nov/Dec/Jan, it was pretty much a blur and i remember grabbing shitty foods and eating anything and not sticking to diet. I would work out here and there, but was not committed mentally. It was terrible and i lost my way. But it happens.
In late Jan/Early Feb started to find a new norm and got back to serious training and incorporated a meal plan (picked one up from last year).
Current Stats:
3/17/21 Weight: 179lbs
Height: 5' 2.5"
Age: 51
3/1 started a new meal and workout program:
Meal one:
2 whole eggs
1 cup of liquid egg whites
(I mix all this with some cinnamon and create 2 pancakes in a skillet, and put some sugar free syrup on them)
Meal two:
5 oz of cooked chicken breast
1 medium sized avocado
1/2 cup Jasmine rice
Some veggie (green beans or roasted fajita veggies)
Post workout right after workout:
2 scoop whey isolate shake
3 rice cakes
Meal three:
Same as meal two
Meal four: before bed
5 oz of cooked sirloin steak
1/2 cup of green veggies
(For this meal, honestly I have not been consistent in getting this one in).
Meal plan macro breakdown:
Calories: 1,688
Carbs: 87g
Fat: 71g
Protein: 165g
Workout plan:
Cardio=15mins every day (target to get 130bpm).
Weightlifting split:
Day 1: chest/triceps
Day 2: back/biceps
Day 3: quads/calves
Day 4: shoulders/abs
Day 5: glutes/hamstrings
Short term goal: Mexico, leave 4/21. Goal: lean out as much as possible before we leave.
Long term goal: Bodybuilding show this year. Date and show TBD. There is an Indianapolis one i'm eyeing up that may be a possibility. See how I progress.
Will use this journal to log progress. Pics will be coming as well.
Will also be logging body analysis (hydration/%body fat/%lean mass, etc). Probably doing that every 2 or 3 weeks.
