I'm not going to count calories after today. I did count them, then I didn't, then I started again yesterday. I have tonights calories though, so this will be the last day. I just don't have the time to count them every night. I get home from work, and all I do is my workout, then I spend the rest of the night counting the calories. I have other things to do, and counting calories is wasting my time. I will just have to go back to self will and eat healthy, and eat good per portions. It will be hard, but I lost weight in the last four months, and I wasn't counting calories there, just watching how much I eat, so I'll do it again. I just don't have the time to do it always. I'll eat healthy, and I'll do my workouts. That will be about all I can do for that. I'll just have to eat smaller meals. I would have to anyways, cause even with counting calories I'm still eating way to much.
Here is todays calorie count, and it is the last:
8:30 am
fruit blend- 407 cals
Total- 407 cals
10:00 am
1 pepperoni stick- 160 cals
Total- 160 cals
2:00 pm
4 pieces whole wheat, commercial, bread- 90 cal ea.
1 tbls- raspberry jam- 50 cal
1 tbls- honey- 60 cal
Total 570 cals
4:15 pm
2 small potatoes- 107 cal ea.
1 cup carrots, cooked- 27 cals
5 ounce roast beef- 245 cals
1 cup juice- 55 cals
1/4 cup gravy- 26 cals
1 scoop butterscotch ice cream- 150 cal
Total- 717 cals
8:00 pm
1 bran muffin- 375 cals
1 bowl salad- 298 cals
2 cups commercial juice- 150 cals
1 slice ham- 46 cal
2 slices whole wheat, made from recipe, bread- 128 ea.
1 tbls margarine- 20 cals
Total- 1140 cals
Daily Total- 2994 cals. Not that bad, but still not good. Oh well, I'm not counting calories anymore. I'll just eat healthy. If I find my body fat percentage starts going up, and I start gaining weight, that isn't lean body weight, then I'll have to change something in my eating habits, but I can't count calories, takes to much time. From now on you'll just get my exercise reports.
Todays exercise report:
It was workout day, so I workout the legs, abs, and shoulders.
Legs
Hack Squats
10 easy reps- 110 lbs
6 slightly heavier reps- 130 lbs
3 heavier reps- 160 lbs
4-6 reps to failure- 220 lbs- 5 reps
4-6 reps to failure- 250 lbs- 5 reps
I think I could have put more weight on still. Something to think about for next week. It is a jump from the 200 lbs though.
Deadlifts
3 heavier reps- 160 lbs
4-6 reps to failure- 220 lbs- 4 reps
4-6 reps to failure- 220 lbs- 6 reps- to light I am sure.
Abs
Weighted Crunches
I need to do something way different for the ab exercises. I can't get enough weight on my chest, and if I do put enough on there, it crushes me, and it's awkward. I can't do weighted crunches until I figure out how to get weight on me to do them. I just did two sets of 15 crunches.
Weighted Leg Lifts
I like this one, I did 15 reps with the legs, and it really gets the Abs burning.
All in all, the ab workout wasn't very successful. I need to get enough resistance on there to stimulate muscle growth. I am going to look into some machines, or if not that, build my own. I have an idea for a pully system that will put resistance on my abs, or my legs for leg lifts.
Shoulders
Shoulder Press
10 easy reps- 60 lbs
6 slightly heavier reps- 75 lbs
3 heavier reps- 110 lbs
4-6 reps to failure- 130 lbs- 5 reps
4-6 reps to failure- 135 lbs- 3 reps- to heavy, should have stuck with 130 lbs.
I did increase in my shoulder press which is good.
Well, I think that is about it for the night,

Today was first cardio day of week two.
So today I did cardio. A good twenty minutes of sweat drenching, heart raising, intensely intense, okay I won't dramitize it, cardio.
I am going to start watching calories today.
Here is today's eating:
8:30 am
4 pieces, made from recipe, french toast- 150 cals
1/4 cup, made from recipe, fake maple syrup- 209 cals
2 tbls margarine- 128 cal total
Total- 937 cals
9:45 am
1 apple- 65 cals
Total- 65 cals
1:20 pm
1 tbls butter- 100 cals
1 tbls peanut butter- 100 cals
1 tbls raspberry jam, commercial- 56 cals
2 slices whole wheat, commercial, bread- 90 cals ea.
1 apple- 65 cals
1/2 orange- 43 cals
Total- 544 cals
5:30
3 cups Chef Boyardee beef ravioli in tomato and meet sauce- 250 cals ea.
2 whole wheat, commercial, rolls- 74 cals ea.
1 cup whole farm milk- 230 cals
Total- 554 cals
8:30
2 pieces of pizza toppings on pita bread-807 cals total
4 cups, fruit juice mix, commercial- 240 cals total
Total-1047 cals
Daily Total- 3147 cals
It was another day that I ate way more then I needed. I was getting it under control, then I stopped watching the calories, and now here I am, going back up. Maybe tomorrow will be different.
I have been reading on cheat days. I never knew it was a good thing to cheat and have a day where you eat whatever, but according to the articles, the cheat days are good, cause they startle the digestive system after you have been eating well, and increase the metabolic rate. I don't think I would have a entire cheat day, but maybe cheat meals every once in a while like if I go to the movies with friends, or eat out with friends. Never though, just because I feel like it a home. Or at least I will try not too.
Anyways, it's getting late, and I need to work at 10:00 again tomorrow, so I should go to bed.

First Day on Bicep, Back, Traps
Got home from work and did my workout. It was very effective. The bent over bar rows really worked the back. The standing bar curls made my arms feel like they went through a good workout. My only problem is with the traps. Like the abs, the traps are a hard muscle to workout effectively. I put so much weight on the bars I was hardly able to lift it up to do my shrugs. Once I did get it up, and did my shrugs, I did them really easily. It is something I'll email Shawn LeBrun about.
Here is a list of my workout, and what I did for weights:
Back
Bent Over Bar Rows
10 easy reps-50 lbs
6 slightly heavier reps- 70 lbs
3 heavier reps- 100 lbs
4-6 heavy reps to failure- 170 lbs- This was too much weight
4-6 heavy reps to failure- 140 lbs- This was not enough.
One Arm Dumbell Rows
3 heavier reps-50 lbs
4-6 heavy reps to failure- 90 lbs
4-6 heavy reps to failure- 90 lbs
Biceps
Standing Barbell Curls
10 easy reps- 40 lbs
6 slightly heavier reps- 50 lbs
3 heavier reps- 70 lbs
4-6 heavy reps to failure- 90 lbs
4-6 heavy reps to failure- 90 lbs
Traps
Barbell Shrugs
Oops, looking now, I forgot to log my weights.
I can give you my max weight I lifted, but only cause I couldn't actually lift that much weight up to the shrug position. It definitely wasn't enough for my shrug to reach 4-6 reps until failure.
Max: 260 lbs, and I couldn't fit another weight on my bar. I could up the plates used, but then I wouldn't be able to lift the thing to the shrug position. Oh well, I'll figure it out, not like I need massive traps anyways.
My nutrition went as follows today
5:00 am
4 Pieces whole wheat, made from recipe, toasted, bread slices- 128 cal ea.
2 Tbls Peanut Butter- 100 cal ea.
2 Tbls Raspberry Jam- 56 cal ea.
1 package of hot apple cider- 83 cal ea.
Total- 907 cal.
10:00 am

1 1/2 cup Veggie Stir Fry- 154 cal total
3 Stuffed Mushrooms- 25 cal total
Total- 538
11:00 pm

Didn't post yesterday.... Was way to tired
Ya, had to get up early in the morning next day to milk cows, so I went to bed early, and only got in four meals. Yesterday was cardio day. I don't think I'll be able to do HIIT Cardio on the treadmill. The treadmill always stops and so I end up having to do regular cardio. I still do it intensely, but it is boring cause it takes longer, and ya, no change really in pace, so it wasn't to fun. But oh well.
My eating schedule was a little different. I went to bed early, so I only got in four meals. And my mom is having us try a program where we can't eat meat or dairy products. I don't know how I feel about it, cause I need protein for my muscles to grow, but she says the veggies and fruit provide the protein. Whatever, I'll try it out, and if I like the results I'll stick with it, if not, I'll go back onto my own program. And I'm not cutting meat totally out of my diet, once this six week test is over, I will start incorporating a little meat back in.
My eating schedule went as follows:
Wednesday
Breakfast 9:30 am
3 Cups of spinach/fruit blend- 30 cals ea.
2 Pieces of whole wheat, buttered, made from recipe, toasted, bread slices- 136 cals ea.
Total- 362
Lunch 1:00 pm
4 Pieces whole wheat commercial bread, toasted- 90 cal ea. I made a mistake on this in my last posts, so my calorie counts won't be as high as I listed. Still high, but not as high as I had. I put 190 cals before. It is only 90 cals.
2 Tbls Peanut Butter- 100 cals ea.
2 Tbls Raspberry Jam- 50 cals ea.
Total- 660 cals
Supper 4:00 pm
2 Cups potato/carrot mix, mashed- 114 cals ea.
2 Tbls ketchup, Heinz- 20 cal ea.
6 Stalks, broccoli, cooked- 63 cal per stalk
Total- 874 cal
After Supper Meal 8:30 pm
1 Cup potatoes, hash browns, home made- 413 cal
2 Cup cream of broccoli soup, home made- 130 cal ea.
2 slices whole wheat bread, made from recipe- 128 cal ea.
Total- 929 cal
During the day I drank about 8 cups of spinach/fruit blend- 30 cals ea.
Total- 240 cals
Daily Total- 3065 cals
Way better then yesterday, but still 865 calories over my max needed to create a good calorie deficit, which is 2200 calories. Oh well, I'll be working on it. Hopefully in a week or two I'll have it all under control.
Maybe today will be better.

Well, today was my first weight training day. Yesterday was cardio, today was weight training my legs, shoulders, and abs. I was training a lot longer then my 30-45 min I should have. The reason being is I am finding the weights I should be lifting, so it was a lot of trial and error. Hopefully my next training day of my legs, shoulders, and abs, I should be able to get in and out of training within 30-45 minutes.
The weights I trained at for my failure reps where:
Legs
Hack Squats: 200 lbs
Deadlift: 200 lbs
Shoulder:
Shoulder Press: 130 lbs- this was two much weight. I could only do 3 reps. Hopefully by next training session of my shoulders I'll be able to lift it at least 4 times.
Abs
Weighted Crunches: 100 lbs. I need more weight then this. Probably 150 lbs, or 200 lbs, it just hurts my chest with that much weight sitting on it.
Weighted Leg Lift: Body weight. It is pretty hard, never realized how hard it was.
My eating schedule, I think was an improvement, well kinda I suppose. It was all going good, got home, and my siblings tempted me with homemade ice cream, then my dad made popcorn, so I had some of that.
My eating schedule is as follows:
Breakfast-9:00 am
2 eggs- 90 cals ea.
2 whole wheat, made from recipe, toasted, slices- 128 ea.
little sprinkled cheese- 20 cals
2 slices sandwich meat, roast beef- 11 cals ea.
Total Cals- 478 cals
Lunch- 12:00 pm
1 cup whole fresh farm milk- 230 cals
4 slice of boughten whole wheat bread-190 cals ea.
1 orange- 85 cal
little bag nacho chips- 139 cals
1 tbls mayonnaise- 103 cals
2 processed cheese slices- 40 cal ea.
2 slices sandwich meat-42 cal ea.
Total Cals- 1481 cals- I gotta cut back on lunch.
Supper- 4:30 pm
2 cups mixed potatoes and carrots- 228 cals total
1 low fat sausage- 60 cals
1 cup whole fresh farm milk- 230 cals
4 tbls gravy- 22 cals ea.
Total- 606 cals
After Supper Meal- 8:00 pm
2 nutri-grain bars- 150 cals ea.
Total- 300 cals
Late night meal- 11:00 pm
1 1/2 cup homemade chocolate ice cream- 143 cals per 1/2 cup
Crap load of popcorn- Estimate- 700!!!! cals
1 can gingerale- 140 cals
Total-1269 cals
Daily Total- 4134 cals
Wow, that was a bad nutrition day. I really need to watch my food more. If I'm going to lose fat, I need to create a calorie deficit, and thats not going to happen if I end up eating double what I need. Maybe tomorrow I'll do better. I have HIIT Cardio Tomorrow. I wish I could find some sort of breath mask that would let me run outside in the winter, cause the treadmills a pain in the but, especially when it comes to HIIT cardio.
Well, I need to go to bed, we are jackhammering again tomorrow at 10:00 am. Oh goody, my bones are already starting to rattle at the thought of it. I'm glad I don't do jackhammering as an everyday job.

My first day went alright.... kinda.
Well, my first day on my program started out real good. I had a good sized breakfast with little calories. I left for work with two nutri bars in my pocket for my in between meals snacks. But little did I know, I wouldn't be able to eat them, for lack of time. My boss and I jackhammered through cement the whole day, and I had no time to stop and eat them. Then for lunch, my boss made some soup, and we ate bread and soup. Though I ate two much. That alone is what probably made me go over the calories I needed to make a good calorie deficit.
The days calorie intake wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. Aside from that, it was Cardio day, so I started off on the treadmill, ready to try the new HIIT Cardio I had discovered on BodyBuilding.Com. It was all good. I warmed up to my normal running speed, then started my thirty second sprint after my four minute warm up. I was almost at thirty when the treadmill just stopped. I soon found out there is a pressure pin that pops out if two much pressure is put on the treadmill. I guess a guy my size running as fast as the treadmill will let me will make the pin pop out. So I tried again, but this time with duct tape over the pin. I got about three thirty second sprint, thirty second slow, sessions in, about half of what I need, when the pin managed to pop out again. So, because my legs where warmed up real good, and I would have probably gotten cramps if I stopped to bend down and fix the pin, I just started hopping on the treadmill. Eventually the pin went back in and I started up my sessions. Took me a little bit doing this, but I can tell you HIIT cardio is really effective. In a short 12 mins, I worked up enough sweat to match my 20 min runs. It is really effective. And it isn't boring at all. I like it, just goto get the treadmill to like it as well.
I'll post what I ate, along with the calories I ate, and the exercise I did:

I need 2200 cals a day, to effectively keep my body active, while letting it burn off fat.
My daily intake was 2676 calories.
It wasn't bad, but it was 76 calories over my max. So ya, I did do cardio which burned it off lower, but I didn't loose much calories, therefore, it wasn't a very effective day.
My exercise consisted of 12-15 mins HIIT cardio, which was very interesting considering my treadmill doesn't think so.
So that was my first day of my program, I'm sure the jackhammer burned off something, lol, I actually need to go and do it again.

The days calorie intake wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. Aside from that, it was Cardio day, so I started off on the treadmill, ready to try the new HIIT Cardio I had discovered on BodyBuilding.Com. It was all good. I warmed up to my normal running speed, then started my thirty second sprint after my four minute warm up. I was almost at thirty when the treadmill just stopped. I soon found out there is a pressure pin that pops out if two much pressure is put on the treadmill. I guess a guy my size running as fast as the treadmill will let me will make the pin pop out. So I tried again, but this time with duct tape over the pin. I got about three thirty second sprint, thirty second slow, sessions in, about half of what I need, when the pin managed to pop out again. So, because my legs where warmed up real good, and I would have probably gotten cramps if I stopped to bend down and fix the pin, I just started hopping on the treadmill. Eventually the pin went back in and I started up my sessions. Took me a little bit doing this, but I can tell you HIIT cardio is really effective. In a short 12 mins, I worked up enough sweat to match my 20 min runs. It is really effective. And it isn't boring at all. I like it, just goto get the treadmill to like it as well.
I'll post what I ate, along with the calories I ate, and the exercise I did:
