bran987's Diet Journal with Pics: Must Get In Shape.

[The Red Dragon]

Keep going Bran
Fat loss and bodybuilding in general is fucked up...I usually plateau for a long time then my results all spill in at once. I was stuck at 170 bench for like months...then suddenly i went up to 200 in less than a month...while cutting. The body is really really fucked up. Fat loss works the same way...after looking at people's pictures and my own experience...it starts off slow but then it accelerates...or maybe cuz you cross some kind of definition/shape threshold. I'm sure you'll do well though, if you're as meticulous with bodybuilding as you are with your investments, you should have no problems reaching your goals.

red dragon - good advice, and lol about the investment precision. I wasn't going to be nerdy enough to admit that but it definitely crossed my mind

I blame it on the almonds and the avocado, do the math and you will see. Even though they are good foods and good fats, they pack a punch (VERY caloric-dense), so keep an eye on them.

That is the reason why I stopped eating peanuts or anything with peanuts: at 600 cals/100 grs, you have to give away too much of your other food to enjoy a tbsp or peanut butter... rather eat my chicken boobs and complement with flax

yeah, my brother made fresh made guac and I thought I had a couple cals to spare, 1 teaspoon probably wasn't 60 cals like I counted it to be but whatever. It doesn't matter, know why? I'm going to neutralize it right now with some AM HIIT Cardio.

That should do it. AM HIIT Cardio, a.k.a. The Bane of My Existence.

If I can only find my shoes....

Thanks bean!

Well I had an incident

I did your arm workout Shadow (6 sets for bi's and 6 sets for tri's of various exercises), and then I tried to do HIIT directly afterwards.

On my 3rd interval I got super nauseus and I threw up in the bathroom at the gym my thighs were burning so badly I couldn't stand up for a few minutes. I think I might not have warmed up enough on the bike?

I was feeling pretty good at the beginning actually, during my jog before the arm workout I ran for 5 minutes at a pretty fast clip and wasn't even winded which surprised me.

6/12/05:

Meal 1 - 9:30am: Shake, 1.5 cups skim, 30g protein powder, glutamine, creatine, 2 fish oil caps

Meal 2 - 11:45am: Can of Tuna raw, handful almonds

ARM WORKOUT, HIIT CARDIO & VOMIT SESSION

Meal 3 - 2:30pm: Shake, 1 cup skim, 40g protein powder, glutamine, creatine

I hope this is working
