Journey of a Skinny
GOALS
Gain Weight
Journey of the Skinny checking in here. I've never had a problem packing on the weight, but I have the problem of losing weight easily. Maybe from lack of motivation sometimes, or maybe just the way my body is. My goal is to weight 220 with a 12%bf.
Nutrition
Clean up my diet. Plain and simple. Cut out all of the junk food.
Motivation
I've had some serious motivation problems. I used to be an animal at football (wide receiver) back in high school. 6'5" and fast as hell. I dislocated my shoulder several times and had to get rotator cuff surgery which halted everything. Ever since then I've lacked motivation. I'll work out for 2-3 months and then stop for 2-3 months and lose all progress. Right now, I've been working out just over nine weeks without an signs of stopping. Lets do it.
Training
Right now I'm training for mass. My goal is to get out of the skinny club.
Starting Date: 3/22/11
Starting Weight: 176.00
Current Weight: 194.00
Goal Weight: 220

Don't let anyone tell you, you can't. Keep your chin up, and your eyes on the prize. Live everyday like it's you last. Death is certain, life is not.
I'll be ending every post in a quote, as an extra form of motivation. Most of well known, so if you don't like them... well, I don't care 'cause this is for me. Not you.

Stay uncomfortable, be distressed, stay under the knife. If you find yourself sitting down, stand up. If you find yourself walking, run. If you find yourself trying, stop trying and start ****ing doing. If you are sleeping soundly and wandering pleasantly through dreamland, WAKE THE **** UP.

yup and thats work up to lean 150-155lbs once im out i expect to be less befor i leave and less by time im out lol if i can put on more weight then that and get to the 170s-180s id love it but for now 150-155 is a more realistic long term goal and ill see how that goes.
what weight did you start at before lifting?

Right now i'm getting in between 3000-3500 calories a day. I haven't been keeping track of literally everything I eat at the moment, but im drinking 2 protein shakes a day. 1 in the morning, 1 after I work out. The rest is filled by brown rice, chicken, steak, tuna and of course, peanut butter sandwiches. Mixed nuts, bananas, vegetables.
edit: one thing that I am blessed with is an appetite. I can eat anything, anytime, anywhere.

Either make your mark or you are a mark. Maybe you think I take this sort of **** too seriously. But I submit for your consideration the distinct possibility that perhaps you take this **** too lightly.
