Monday, January 23 was the day I started eating like a bodybuilder. Oh God, please help me!
Well I've been working on Phase 2 of my body transformation now for 23 days, and today I had to adjust my diet to start putting on some serious muscle and lean out. I am now eating mostly a lot of protein, not a lot of carbs and really trying to cut out all sugars, like fruits and yogurt. :( *sniff, sniff* My body needs these extra proteins in order for me to gain the necessary size in muscle mass. And by eating a lot leaner it will help me to lose the fat still left on my body.
Honestly, this is going to be a challenge for me. I have a lot of food to eat each day, not to mention, pretty much the same thing EVERY day...going to get boring. And I need to lose only like 20+ pounds in the next 9 weeks. This is going to get interesting! Help!
My workout routine will be getting a makeover soon as well. I will be really concentrating on getting that 3rd workout in with the extra cardio session. I am not going to adjust my lifting schedule or routine because I'm doing what I need to right now.
Morning Workout:
I ran 7 miles on the elliptical and did 1,200 ab reps. Great start to my day!
Morning Diet:
Are you ready for this?
Whey protein shake (chocolate) with powdered oatmeal and 2 egg whites mixed in. Mmmm...YUMMY? Actually, it was not that bad. (Meal #1)
5 oz chicken breast, 1 cup of brown rice and 2 oz of broccoli (Meal #2)
Afternoon Workout:
Worked my back and lats today. I do five different exercises for my back, and do 3 to 4 sets of 10-12 reps each. I capped off my workout with 3 sets of biceps and triceps. It was a very good workout, and afterward I could feel I had done a good job.
Afternoon Diet:
5 oz chicken breast, 1 cup brown rice and 2 oz of broccoli (Meal #3)
Here's where I needed to insert my other chicken meal but I ran out time and it was getting late so I had a 5 oz yogurt. I'll do better tomorrow.
Evening Workout:
No evening workout other than snow blowing and shoveling.
Evening Diet:
A mixed green salad with a very small portion of dressing, tilapia (fish), rice and a vegetable mix.
Evening Snacks:
Nothing.
Before bed I will have a protein shake.
I want to thank everyone who has read, shared and commented on my Paula Deen post. It is still setting records for our blog with the most number of hits ever on a post. I think Paula Deen should donate a large portion of that new money to a cause...Mmmm..wonder what cause would be a good one for her to make a large donation to? Any suggestions? :)
I also want to remind the Participants of The Chippewa Valley Challenge, if your name is not on the list of Participants, please make sure you download the waiver and get it back to us as soon as possible. Feel free to email us and we will send the waiver to you.
I also want to welcome and thank, McDonald's Courtesy Corp, our first sponsor of "I AM AN OVER EATER!!" We will have more trivia in the near future and will be giving out selections from their line of healthy choice meals as prizes. Like I have said before, "If you're going to eat fast food, just make sure you're eating the RIGHT kind of fast food." Make better choices!
Well that's it for tonight, I hope all of you are staying on track in the Challenge. Please remember to use us if you are looking for help. Have a great night, and I'll see you all at the gym!
Dan
