Last week

So Im doing the last week of stage one. I will be posting picture of the portions of food that i eat to give you an indication of how much i eat. Also i plan on showing some videos of my workouts and sports that i do along with this program.

Fun in the studio

I thought i would show you the fun we have in the studio.

Bad Day

Not the best day today, missed out swimming and forgot that the gym closed early so had to be really quick in the gym, which meant no breaks for me. i will be aching tomorrow, also haven't had the right amount of food due to waking up late. I will have to have another protein shake or something to make up for it. Apart from today though every things still going well, feeling more confident about my body can't wait to get onto stage two.

Diary Entry

So i was ment to be adding a little diary in now and again on how everything is going how i feel etc 2 weeks late, but here we are.

So its coming up to nearly two weeks completed now, and I am feeling good. I feel like i have got bigger, mainly my chest and arms. I'm not going to measure them until the end of the first stage though.

I found the first week harder after not training over Christmas. I have the feeling that I was starting all over again, because of this I ached much more over that first week, mainly in my legs. I felt relief  after my rest days.

The Second week has been a big improvement. My strength has improved and I am now using heavier weights. I have still ached but this is only apparent for the rest of the day after a good session in the gym. I look froward to starting week three and to see the transformation I have made. I don't expect any vast transformations yet but any improvement would be good! I will try to post more to keep up to date.  

my calendar

Above is my calendar for my program. You can see each day what I will be doing. This will vary from the gym either rugby or swimming; if I manage to do both then my swimming session will be a moderate swim. At the end of each stage I will give myself rewards, this could be either a meal out or just a chocolate bar. I found this has helped me a lot being good with food and pushing myself, as I have something to aim for.

Food

This post will be about the types of food I will be eating.

I intend to cut out any chocolate, fast food, chips and anything that is obviously bad for you and full of fat. I will cut out white carbs which include, white bread, pasta, potatoes and rice. Instead of these I will transfer to wholemeal foods. 

For my protein, I aim to eat the usual; chicken, salmon, steak, beef and eggs.

I have also planned to be taking protein shakes in between meals and after the gym. These consist of, USN anabolic muscle fuel with a scoop of peanut butter and two whole eggs and two egg whites.  

A typical day could look like this:

Breakfast- big bowl of porridge 

Snack - protein shake

Lunch - tuna and pasta 

Snack- protein shake after gym 

Dinner- sweet potato with two chicken breast.
