1st Journal, straight diet and exercise no extras, yet

[Lumpkin]

Ok well here is the deal iam 27 years old 6'1" and 300lbs and a insulin dependent diabetic. Iam gonna start off by getting the diet straight and exercising ALOT more. Iam gonna stick to a 2730 calorie diet.

I started this plan Mid tuesday so ill just start out with yesterday.

For breakfast I ate an egg sandwich. 3 small/medium eggs on white bread. Now I know white bread is no good for ya but I found tuesday not eating the simple carbs made my sugar drop low several times that day.

Snack I ate about 5 strawberries

Lunch I had baked skinless boneless chicken with green beans

Dinner was the same as lunch

When I got home at 11pm I ate another 5 strawberries and went to the gym

I just did a straight 45 mins of cardio (treadmill). It kicked my ass. Had a hard time running the whole time so some of the time I had to slow it down to a walk/slow jog.

At the end of the day by looking at fitday I got nowhere near the amount of protein I needed. So today Iam adding in some shakes.

Ill post the rest of today later tonight after work/gym

Great to see you post a journal mate , good luck .

On the trade mill just try and beat your distance for the time every time you get on it, stop walk what ever mate you got to start some where and cardio sucks lol.

Cool bro sounds like you are making the first steps to change. Little at a time but always move in the right direction every week.

Have you been using fitday? Also you should be writing down each work out. Keeping track of every set and what weights you are pusher. you always want to be progressing forward.

OK here is thursday

I had a egg sandwich on white bread for breakfast (3 eggs)

Lunch I had a ham and mustard sandwich on white bread also, 97% fat free ham

Still trying to figure out how to balance the simple carbs so my sugar does not go low on me. thats the reason for all the white bread

Dinner was skinless chicken breast with green beans

Snack was strawberries again

Needto I have been using fitday and I cant seem to hit the numbers we talked about.

Yesterday I ate

1753 calories/64g fat/99g carbs/199g protein

Now I ate 3 full meals but only had 1 snack, and the numbers above are with 2 protein shakes. I gotta hit the grocery store and get better food i guess. I have been trying to cut down on portions so I guess I could try eating a little more





For my workout:

I did 40 mins of empty stomach cardio in the morning

Standing Dumbbell Press 1 set of 8
Lateral Raises 1 set of 8
Dumbbell Upright Rows 1 set of 8

Did the super setting with those using 20lb weights 4 times. I could have gone probably to 30lb with the dumbbell press and rows but no way was that gonna happen with the lat raises.

Seated Bent Over Lateral Raises 10 reps x4
These were pretty hard for me, not sure if it was from the super setting or not but I had to drop to 15lbs to do these.

Shrugs - 15 Reps x4
Used 40lb weights for this

Overall the workout felt good, not too sore today. Only real problem I had was the bent over lateral raises.
