Let's jump ahead to my appoint my w/ my coach! I got a good one folks and I'm just blessed to have a friend who's been around the block. Just to let you know, the reason I'm putting all this crap here is b/c I started this journey not too long ago, and made solid choices that are working. I'm showing the short beginnings in case anyone else questions their own reasons/thoughts. Also, to show that fuck it, I'm not gonna let my coach OR myself down.:

Got myself a coach today! Fred Biggie Smalls who was coached by George Farah.
-I got scanned and I'm disgusted w/ my results. I'll post before pics after I get some progress. I CAN'T do that to myself, just yet. My BF% is WAY higher than I thought.
My calories were very low, mostly protein and veggies. I didn't document today's meals, because they are of no consequence.
--
Diet:
He gave me my diet for the next 3 weeks, so I have to go shopping tomorrow/Sat at the latest. Whew, a LOT of changes happening here. I'll document what I can once I get this train moving.
2320 calories
218.94g clean whole food protein
219.32g carbs
65.64g fat
-This diet style is going to be all new to me and I'm not going to fight it. I've got to get used to eating the same exact thing until next check-in. 3 weeks from today.
--
Workout:
Waiting for that for tomorrow morning
-All I know is cardio x 6 days per week
--
Cycle:
We'll get to it when it's time (got some more work to do first)
------
I get scanned in again in 3 weeks and tweak from there.
He said I can get you into a "beach body" in 3 months, but I heard him say something about "November" when he read my body scan report. I'm hoping I'm pleased by the end of summer and get more dense/thick by November. I told him, I'm used to being a bigger guy and I want to look good, but I don't want to look small!
-Again, trusting the pro and his process
------------------
Dr.'s Visit. It has only been my 3rd time as he's a new PCP for me. I said, "Ya know, we don't really know each other, but I wanted to get your opinion on TRT/HRT." He doesn't like the idea of prescribing HGH because it can cause (whatever he said).. AND THEN, he says.. "You can just order it off the internet." I WAS LIKE WHAAAT?! He DID however, say he prescribes Test but it all depends on my levels. I nodded, and then was able to get a bloodwork script for Comprehensive Metabolic, All hormone values, Thyroid, Cholesterol, etc. I told him I had good insurance right now, and he said.. well let's get a full panel done! BOOOM. Best Dr. I've had in a long time.
I did mention how my urine flow seems a bit less than satisfying and I thought I was having pressure on my prostate. He said, b/c I don't have any family history of prostate cancer that unless something is seriously happening, they don't get the PSA checked until 50. BUT, a "Cologuard" screening box is on it's way to my door, lol.
-
Overall I had a great day and got a TON figured out and in the mix. Looking forward to pushing this transformation to a real start, and for once in my life responsibly and consistently. A short week of changing diet and macros doesn't mean shit. I lost 6lbs in 7 days (morning to morning weigh in), which is fine and dandy.. but I need to get this fuckin' show on the road.
Thanks for letting me vent/document and keep myself accountable, I appreciate your support thus far
