kdavidsonttm's 10 Week Double-T Transformation Challenge Log

[journey2swole]

I love grapefruit! Have you had the carb-load meal yet? I look forward to every single one that I have! Like a little carb-party! Load everything down with splenda, too!

I did, that was Wednesday night, Thursday morning. I loved it. I will be back to a normal schedule tomorrow so my next carb meal is meal 6 Saturday night. YUM!!

My wife is putting together plates with each of our meals for a full day. So now instead of having to make something it will be easy to take along or get out and hopefully get both of us up to our 6 meals per day and getting the correct macro-nutrient values in daily.

[journey2swole]

Also, great job on your initial transformation! A complete change, great job! I just looked at your progress pictures, you should be proud.

Thanks a bunch, it is work but the results are worth every drop of sweat man. The best part of all does not show on pictures but prior to starting I was on over 15 prescription medications daily that I believed were inevitable and part of a disease process that could not be avoided. Today I take nothing beside my insulin. 0. and I don't have any of the side effects of the medication. That alone is the best part of all of this. That is why I am in the contest. If I can achieve this then anyone in my situation can.

Nutrition Plan: I am continuing my current 1750 Calories daily diet plan with my Macronutrient profile of: Protein - 214g = 856 Calories, Carbohydrates 85g = 340 Calories, Fat - 65g +585 Calories. I am doing a Carbohydrate re-feed every third night and will get 2236 Calories for that day, my next Carb meal is tomorrow, Saturday.

MEAL 3 - 1.75 scoops whey protein, 2 tsp Flax Seed Oil mixed in water.
MEAL 4 -
MEAL 5
MEAL 6 - 5 oz grilled chicken breast, 2 oz avocado, (YUM I love avocado) 1 cup steamed cut broccoli, 6.5 oz ruby red grapefruit

My Supplements:

1.5 scoops CreaDyl sipped on way to work
1 scoop IntrAbolic sipped during work before meal 3


Workout - Gym closed early so I will have to make this up on Saturday.

[journey2swole]

Gym closes at 8:00 tonight since it's Friday so I will have to do my normal Thursday and Friday workout routines on Saturday.

I really hate that I lost 2 full days of my normal routine this week but my work schedule has really thrown me off.

I did get a good sleep in finally. Most the week I got literally no sleep and today I got home last night and into bed a few minutes after midnight and slept solid until almost 4 this afternoon. My body needed it and I feel much better.

Awesome! That's cool about your wife fixing those meals. She's a good woman!

[journey2swole]

Made a Whey protein brownie for my second meal today. It was so good my son had to try one and loved it too. Perfect match for my macro-nutrient count. Here is the finished brownie, it was vanilla with 2 tbsp PB. Yum!

[XX400EX]

Cool nice and easy to make too.

Look real tasty! What brand vanilla protein do you have? Is that a glutacene sample tub in that pic, too? Haha!

[journey2swole]

Here is what was waiting on me when I got home this morning. My wife is the BEST!! 5 oz. grilled chicken breast, 1 cup steamed cut broccoli, 2 oz. avocado, 6.5 oz. ruby red grapefruit. All saved in a dinner plate and ready to be warmed up.

[journey2swole]

XX400EX - Your right, it could not be any more simple to make and super fast and oh so good. Less than 5 minutes start to finish.

Drooks10 - This was made with MHP Vanilla Protein, pretty good and has a good consistency when done. And YES, that is the wife's Glutacene sample on the table behind MY brownie. Notice there is NO brownie for her lol (only because she cannot digest the whey) Made my son a chocolate MHP and he was pretty impressed.

DAY 6 OP 70

Day 6 is a continuation of day 5 for me. I will be attempting to get myself back onto a normal daytime schedule by Monday morning. So, arrived home and ate my meal 6.

Going to let the food digest for a little while here and then head to the gym to get my workout and cardio in.

Workout Comments: I am glad tonight is my carb reload meal! I was pretty much running on empty once I arrived at the gym and took my NO-Beta in the parking lot washing it down with my CreaDyl. It took about 20 minutes into my workout for it to kick in but once it did I was able to really pick up my intensity and knock out my reps with focus I didn't know I had. Overall not a bad workout - better than I expected. Would have liked to add a little weight load but may if I had had nitromine?

My wife felt sorry for me and let me "borrow" 2 scoops of her strawberry glutacene for todays intra workout. WOW! it was fantastic, and really helped me get through my workout. I hope that once my IntrAbolic is finished I can order Glutacene to replace it with.

[fitlover]

HAHA your wife ROCKS!!! That looks amazing!

I wish food was ready when I came home, grrr. I'm always so unmotivated to prep stuff especially at night

That's a nice looking shrug machine! Great job on the workout, Ken. Keep it up, bro!

I was great coming home and having food already prepared and ready to be warmed up. I have to admit I was not in much of a mood to cook at 4:30 AM.

[journey2swole]

DAY 8 OF 70

Back to a normal schedule and still on the Cut Diet. From reading the diet plan it says you will experience a loss of energy and possible strength during the first two weeks of the diet but that things should return to normal after two full weeks. It also says to wait until weeks 3 & 4 to really see some weight drop off. I have to admit I am not sure if it was my schedule last week or the diet but I am seeing some energy and strength loss this week so far.

I know the Carb-Reload meal will be really good on Tuesday and I am greatly looking forward to it.

MEAL 1 - 2 scoops whey protein, 2 tbsp Flax Seed Oil
MEAL 2 - 5 oz grilled chicken breast, 1 cup steamed broccoli, 2 oz avocado, 6.5 oz ruby red grapefruit
MEAL 3 - 5 oz sliced chicken breast, 30 g PB.
MEAL 4 - 2 scoops whey protein, t tbsp Flax Seed Oil
MEAL 5 - 5 oz grilled chicken breast, 1 cup steamed broccoli, 12 almonds
MEAL 6 - 2 scoops whey protein made, 99 g blueberries made into sludge.

NOTES: Again, my strength was not back to normal state for my full workout today but that may be my diet, lack of sleep and disruption to normal sleep cycle last week, a respiratory infection I seem to have picked up or a combination of several of these factors.

It was nice to be back on a normal schedule today and be at the gym while it was virtually empty. Nobody socializing at any equipment today Looks like I will be able to maintain this schedule at least for the next five weeks. So, it should only get better and better from here.

[journey2swole]

Just made my sludge using chocolate mint sci fit whey along with my PB and blueberries. WoW, it was great. Better than the brownies so far. Tomorrow I am making a brownie and using half my fat grams with PB and the other half with crushed almonds. YUM!!

[journey2swole]

Today is Day 9 and ready to get the day started. Sitting in the parking lot of the gym waiting for the doors to open. It snowed overnight so everything is moving slow today. Usually by this time there are 20 or more cars here but today I am the only one so far.

Glad I have an iPHone to pass the time and get me on bb.com while I wait.

[journey2swole]
