My Transformation Journal ... (in the making)

[NYundaGround]

Today I start my first cutting diet, my first journal, my first routine, and my first step towards a life changing transformation. I'm 21 about 5'6-5'7, 219lbs this mourning, and as far as my bf%, ridiculously high. I've lifted weights before but nothing serious, I've lifted for a month then when off for like 6 or 7, then most I've ever lifted consecutively was about 3 months 2-3 years ago. So I think i would consider my self new to lifting. I've put on about 70 lbs with in 3yrs, and I?m stick of not being able to take my shirt off at the beach. So I think it's time i do something.

Had my first meal at 10 am. When it was time for my second meal, i was still kinda full. Had my second meal at 1, but i wasn't able to finish all my pasta. Can't wait 'til my workout today. I'm goin' to try and post up before and after pix every month or so.

This is my diet.

Thats a pretty detailed diet you posted there. Good luck.

Thanks. Just got back from the gym. Everything went as planned, ate all my meals on time. Training was good, except for my shoulders, and cardio. Today i did chest/triceps, but mid way thru triceps my shoulders gave out, weird ? and i wasn't able to complete all my sets. I felt the "burn" on both my shoulders, but also felt pain on my right shoulder, the pain you feel after pitching a baseball game, or throwing a football. Any ideas of what this could be ? Does this mean i have to strengthen up my shoulders (haven't trained shoulders in about 2-3yrs)? Also i wasn't able to do my cardio after training, felt like I was going to faint. Guess I'm out of shape !!

Dayum .... i've been in bed since 11:30 pm, it's now 2:40 am and i'm still up. I guess it was the stimulantX. I took my last serving at 7:00 pm, this sucks ... lol

[NYundaGround]

So i finally fell asleep last night around 4:30 am, and woke up at 8:30. Chest and tri'z are a bit sore, nothing out of this world. Ate my first meal at around 9:30 am, and started my Lipo-6 today. I took my first serving of lipo-6 around 9:00 am, and while i was eating breakfast, i noticed i was sweating. Not sure if it's mental, or if it's the lipo-6. Looking foward to tomorrows workout. Any thoughts ?

Hey man,

Your motivation is amazing and your organization shows your dedicated. Keep up the hard work and even if something doesn't go as planned, keep pushin' through ... remember focusing on progression rather than perfection with your new habit will make it solidify and help you reach your goals.

Good luck!
