Seeker's Online Journal

[SeekerOfKnowledge]

In the tradition of searching to sculpt the perfect physique, I am starting up my online journal which I hope you will consider posting opinions on. I just saw that GNC has a new virtual trainer which looks awesome for their calorie counter. I have subscribed to that to use it for my meal plans and I will be posting those here to. I will post my complete workout per day. Hope you guys have some thoughts for me.

Overall today was okay. I was doing great on my diet until I stop by my parents for dinner and they were having pizza. Man. For today my meals were the following.

Meal 1 - 1 pear, 1 pouch of fruit snacks, 12 oz water

Meal 2 - 4 oz. of salad with chedder cheese, 1 Rice Crispee Treat, 12 oz. water.

Meal 3 - 1 Dannon Strawberry Yogurt & 1 Red Apple

Meal 4 - 1 Isopure Whey Protein Shake with a scope of Glutamine and Creatine in 16 oz of non fat milk.

Meal 5 - 4 Slices of Pizza Hut Pizza and 4 Breadsticks, 5 oz of Orange Juice and 16 oz of Water.

Snacks - 1 Stick of Carrot and Celery, 2 radishes, 2 string beans, 32 oz of water.

I know I should have not fucked with the pizza, other than that how is the normal layout. According to the GNC Website I took in about 1900 calories. 59% Carbs, 10% Fat, 31% Protein.

Work Out

Started with 10 mintues of cycling which equaled 3.6 miles.

Deadlift - 1 warmup of 10 Reps for 95, then 3 sets of 115 for 8, 140 for 8, 165 for 4.

Bent Over Barbell Rows - 3 sets of 95 for 10, 115 for 8, 105 for 7.

Lat Pull Down - 3 sets of 110 for 10, 130 for 8, 150 for 8.

Cable Row - 2 sets of 150 for 8 and 180 for 6.

Alternating Rotating Bicep Curls - 3 sets of 20 for 8, 25 for 6, 20 for 6. These were awesome. I did these to work my forearm and it did and hurt like hell. But it also pumped my biceps to cause them to peak hard for the first time. I recommend these to anyone. Just do a normal curl then turn your wrist toward your chest and lower. Maintain your elbow tight so you can focus your forearms.

Peace

No offense, but you are eating like a bird. This will affect your training in the long run.

Got in real late last night like 3:00 this morning out messing with a couple friends. Today is going to be a rest because I am going to write up a schedule for the next few weeks to follow. Hopefully you guys will give me your thoughts. I still am going to track my food today though.

Meal 1 - 10:30 - 2 cups of lucky charms and 16 oz of non fat milk

Meal 2 - 13:30 - 1 Pure Protein bar and 16 oz of water.

Meal 3 - 16:00 - 1 Grilled chicken breast on a half of bun, wheat bread and 4 oz of mixed rice. 16 oz of water

Meal 4 - 1830 - 2 slices of meatloaf and 1 scoop of mash potatoes with brown gravy on both. 1 white roll and bowl of corn. 16 oz of water.

Meal 5 - 2300 - 1 Grilled Chicken Sandwich with lettuce and mayo and a side of fresh cut potato fries.

On the Fitness Planner the Calories and stuff was as follows:

Calorie Count - Burned today: 2028, Eaten today: 3082

Nutrition Breakdown Carbs: 49.1%, Proteins: 32.6%, Fat: 18.3.

This is a decent baseline as it tracks most items, some though I think are slightly off in calories or carbs.
