ChrishMoney's Epic 10-Week Workout Journey

[ChrishMoney]

Hello all!

After lurking bodybuilding.com for a few days I decided to take the plunge and create an account along with this weight loss log. Hopefully this will help me keep track of my goals and create some positive discussion throughout the community.

My Background:

I am a 23 year old male currently enrolled in college working on my bachelors degree. I played football in for six year through high school and was in fairly good shape. Since then I have very briefly participated in any type of physical activity outside of intramural flag football and the occasional trip to the gym. I have completely let myself go and its time to change. My main goal is to be at 190 lbs. by this time next year but I decided to start off with 10-week program to get me back into the groove of things. I want to lose 25 pounds by the end of August and I am determined to do so.

The Diet:

I want to keep my caloric intake around 2500 to 2800 a day. I will drink half my body weight in water each day and I will absolutely stay away from all fast food. I have already made progress with eating healthy over the past two weeks so I have a head start their. I plan to drink a pre and post workout protein shake before and after every workout.

The Workout:

Weeks 1-2: Interval on treadmill, 30 sec jog, 1 min walk for 20 min workout
Weeks 3-4: HITT, 15 high intensity, 60 low intensity, 11 times
Weeks 5-6: HITT, 30 high, 60 low, 11 times
Weeks 7-8: HITT, 30 high, 30 low, 18 times
Weeks 9-10: HITT, 30 high, 15 low, 25 times

To ease back into weight lifting I will start to lift on week three. I plan to go on my HITT off days.

That's it. Feel free to comment and give advice. It's great to be here!

Week 1 workout went as planned. I was little short on my H20 consumption but I usually drink about 40 oz a day so going up that much was a tad difficult. I felt great all day and I am super tired now. I am looking forward to getting up and doing it again!!!

I will drink half my body weight in water each day

You're going to drink 130 pounds of water? That's a lot of water. How are you going to do that?

[ChrishMoney]

You're going to drink 130 pounds of water? That's a lot of water. How are you going to do that?

Whoops. I meant 130 oz, not 130 lbs.

[Trenton42]

Well, in a couple days you'll be under a gallon. Why not just stick to drinking a gallon of water per day?

[ChrishMoney]

Well, in a couple days you'll be under a gallon. Why not just stick to drinking a gallon of water per day?

Good call. That way, I can just buy a gallon of water every time i go grocery shopping and just refill it until I make another trip. Thanks!

My workout went very well. I decided to bump the low intensity periods up a tad and I believe I will do the same to the high intensity periods tomorrow (.5 mph on each). Weight went up 0.3 lbs but I am not terribly concerned of a small gain at this stage. I met my water consumption which make me very happy. I will go grocery shopping tomorrow and hopefully I can spend a little more money and get a good variety of food. I have learned a ton the past few days on this forum and hopefully that trend will continue as I meet my goals.

EDIT: I fell short on my calorie intake today. Hopefully I can fix it ASAP

[bccfc92]

Keep smashing it out till the end of August bro - I would recommend doing some weights programme like Stronglifts as well as the cardio. If you haven't lifted much before, you will gain muscle quickly which will help you lose the fat in the long term and improve your composition no end, even on a substantial calorie deficit. Go for it bud!

Thanks for the encouragement! I originally decided to start lifting in week 3, but seeing as how I don't particularly want to start the same week I start my HIIT routine I decided to bump it up a week. I'm going to do a little research this weekend and figure out how exactly I want to go about it.

Total: 2455 cals

H20 intake: 120 oz

The final workout of the week went well. I felt a little sluggish during but I finished strong. I bumped up the high intensity part of my work out a tad (6.0 to 6.5). I went to my parents after work to pick up some things and decided to stay for dinner. As you can see it wasn't the best decision considering A) it wasn't an incredibly healthy meal and B) I had to estimate the calories I consumed. My mother, however, loaded me up with a few healthy items before I left so the visit wasn't a total lost (plus I got to visit my family, of course :-P). I went grocery shopping today after I left my parents house and picked up a ton of healthy stuff. I think I'm going to start keeping track of macros. The more I read about them the more important they seem to keep track of. Anyway, I update you all tomorrow. Peace!

I will be going to a Father's Day lunch tomorrow and I hope their will be healthy finger foods available. My diet will get fully back on track after tomorrow. I will also be planning my weight lifting routine tomorrow so any advice would be welcome and appreciated. Peace!

No workout today. I under ate by 1000 calories which is not good. I haven't been hungry this entire weekend it seems like. Oh well. I created a list of every grocery I have in my house that includes: name, serving size, calories, protein, carbs, and fats. Tomorrow I will create an Excel spreadsheet in order to better keep track of my daily intake. I get back in the gym tomorrow and I am super excited about it! This week entails my regularly scheduled cardio along with lifting. Like I told bccfc92 earlier, I am going to bump the weight lifting up a week. The change was made after I decided I didn't want to start my HIIT workout the same week I begin lifting. I am trying to ease into this whole process as seamlessly as possible. I found this handy thread...

Beginner's Guide: 6 Basic Compound Lifts, and How to do Them (no links yet, sorry!)

...and I am definitely going to go by the advice stated. More tomorrow. Peace!

H20 intake: 152 oz

Weight: 258.2

Workout: walk/jog on treadmill, 21 min

I owned today. My workout went well, I drank over my minimum amount, and lost over a pound. I decided today that if I am going to lose fat and be healthy, then I am going to kick as much butt doing it as possible. The only thing I wish I could improve is the amount of calories I consume. I got much closer today, which is good, but I don't want to risk losing any muscle between now and the end of August by not eating enough. Tomorrow I start weight lifting. Here is what my schedule will look like for the rest of the week:

Tuesday - Squats, Dead Lift, Seated Calf Raises, Lunges
Wednesday - walk/jog
Thursday - Dumbbell Bench Press, Dumbbell Shoulder Press, Dumbbell Rows, Lat Pulldowns, Preacher Curls, Tricep Pulldowns
Friday: walk/jog

Unfortunately, the campus gym is only open Monday thru Friday during the summer, so I have to resort to going twice weekly. It's been several months since I've touched any weights of any kind, so this week will be light in order to ensure I utilize the proper form while executing all exercises. Guys and gals, please feel free to comment and ask questions. Peace!

[IsaacJewton]

Good luck OP! Should get some pictures up for before and after shots.

Dumbbell Bench Press: 3x10 @ 40 lbs
Lunges: 3x10 @ 20 lbs

H20 intake: 128 oz

I really, really want to chop both of my legs off right now. I haven't been sore like this in a while. As you all can see, I deviated from my original routine. I anticipated doing dead lift after squats, but after the second set into my squats I decided otherwise. I will do dead lift on Wednesday since I did bench press today. I'm kicking butt with my H20 intake. I found a 32oz water bottle in the kitchen, tucked away for who knows how long. I drink the entire bottle four times a day and I am set. I would still like my caloric intake to be a tad higher, but as long as I feel that I have enough energy throughout the day and throughout my workout then I think I should be okay for now. Today was also the first day I went through without experiencing hunger pangs. I eat approximately every 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours.

Anyway, feel free to comment and give advice/encouragement where you see fit. I am more than willing to take constructive criticism. Peace!

I felt a little sluggish during the beginning of my workout, but I pushed forward and I felt great as well as tired afterwards. I didn't get a chance to make my tuna sandwich today considering breakfast was a pain to get down. I mixed cheerios, oats, milk, greek yogurt, and peanut butter in a bowl and I could barely stomach it. Never again. Tomorrow is my second lifting day. Hopefully I won't be as sore tomorrow as I was today. Peace!

I am a little disappointed that I gained over half a pound. I have been racking my brain the entire day trying to figure out why. I'm not going to get too caught up in those line of thoughts because I know it is not all about weight, but it still is a little discouraging to see that. I tailored my workout today to fit somewhat in what I will be starting next week. I'm not going to include my water intake from now on. I've formed a habit of drinking water throughout the day in my measured bottle, so I always know that I reach my required amount. My mother offered me my fathers' gym membership, which I will definitely use on Saturdays considering the campus gym is closed. I realized that I simply can't get all of the lifts in the I want to do one Tuesday and Thursday, so I am going to start lifting on Saturday. More tomorrow. Peace!

Today didn't start off very well. I decided to sleep in instead of getting up and running. When I re-awoke I had no time to eat breakfast before work. As a result of that I severely under-ate today. I didn't feel great for most of the day and I know that if I would have gotten up, ran, and had breakfast that wouldn't be the case. However, I did run after work. It has been a long time since I have ran sprints and it showed. After fourth sprint my speed decreased dramatically. I am looking forward to getting a good nights' sleep and starting early tomorrow. I'll be back in the gym working on my legs and shoulders. Peace!

I don't see any difference, but I really can't expect huge results just three weeks in. I don't think I have ever been this sore in my entire life. I literally don't want to move my arms or shoulders because of the pain. Tomorrow is HIIT at the track. Peace!

I need to eat more! I have been going in early this week so I haven't had much time to make and eat breakfast, which is killing me. I am going grocery shopping tomorrow, so I will be able to buy a good variety of foods. The sprints are going fine. My right shoulder hurts very badly at times. I lifted a box today at work and nearly dropped it because of a sharp pain. Hopefully it is just a bad case of DOMS and not something worse. That's all for now. Peace!

I don't know why my weight went up two pounds. It's kind of discouraging, but then again it's just more motivation to keep smashing. The good news about this whole process is I feel better than I did before starting. I don't get tired during the afternoon, my sleep schedule is normalized, and I don't get as fatigued after doing menial labor. It's been a great experience so far and I hope I can keep it up for the rest of my life. Peace!
