Ok, well I had this nice story and all typed up, and my computer decided to go back a page and I lost it all. So the hell with it.

TL;DR:
- A hockey injury caused me to quit sports
- Got fat; highest weight I recall is 237 (BF unknown)
- Joined the military
- Semi-watched weight since early 2010 (nothing serious)
- Surgery in late 2012 and an immunization reaction early 2013 put a damper on gym time for a while
- Back at it ready to whoop some ass.
- Running JasonDB's 5x5 modified for cutting per the FAQ in his signature (basically 3x5 for core lifts instead of 5x5)
- Lift MWF
- Will fill cardio in on other days soon (still not fully recovered from immunization reaction; cardiac issues)

Starting stats as of 3 June 2013:
Weight: 184.6
BF: 22-24ish (Scheduling an appointment for a BodPod scan)
Height: 5'10" (70")

Daily Calories: 1750
Protein: 185g (Looking into modifying this. Currently 1g/lb. Reading on whether I should change it to 1g/LBM; input?)
Fat: 70g
Carbs: 94g

My macro's usually have been coming out around:
P: 160ish
F: 50-60ish
C: 140ish

Supps include:
Cellucor C4 (Green Apple & Watermelon)
Cellucor Whey
Orange Triad
Multi

Time to get 'er done!

6/7/13 (Yes, I'm back dating this entry!)

Didn't end up hitting the gym as scheduled. Was the only one at the office, so I opted for some extra sleep and planned on going after work. Turns out some friends wanted to go to Texas Roadhouse followed by going to see The Purge.

FYI: The Purge is terrible. 4/10

Food wise... could have made a few better choices, but eh, roll with the punches. My buddy just got back from lockup so we decided to take him out to eat. Can't go wrong with a seafood dish at Olive Garden! Skipped the breadsticks as much as it hurt to do so. Protein Shakes are to taste test so I can eventually write some reviews.

So far for the Cellucor protein line-up, it goes like this for me: Molten Chocolate > Cinnamon Swirl > Vanilla

I will report back tomorrow with how I find the Peanut Butter Marshmallow and Cookies N Cream!

EDIT: Just tried the PBM and CNC. Keep in mind I tasted all of these mixed in Original Almond Milk.

My eats for the day. I like to keep it real simple. Living in the dorms sucks. I do not have an accessible kitchen, so I make due with my pressure cooker. Chicken and quinoa is very easy and delish.

6/13/13

Nearly hit macro's, but today was a bizarre day. As you can see from the MFP log, my food choices were... sketchy. Not ideally how I eat.

Today I did a BodPod test, and was kinda pissed with myself, but at the same time, I can't complain to much.

Results of the BodPod:
Weight: 181.7 lbs
Body Fat: 25.1%
LBM: 136.2 lbs

BF% is higher than I expected, but I can't complain all that much. I'm battling back after a surgery and a heart complication, so whatever. I have until mid-september to drop my BF below 17% (personal goal). Time to grind!

Shows I'm under by 259 cals, but that was prior to me upping my cals on MFP last night.

Which I should note, I am increasing my cals from 1750 too 2000. 1750 seemed a bit low after going over my calculations again. Will continue at 2000 and re-evaluate in 2-3 weeks.

Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers out there!

Gym: Off day

Spent today in Oakland with the doctors I work for as a celebretory get together since one of them is leaving us on Tuesday. Ate at a fantastic restaraunt.. have no idea where to even begin trying to calculate it. I stopped for some sushi to get some protein in for the day and im calling it good there. As you can see, I have 600 some calories left.. but I'm just going to leave it at that and call it a day. I'm positive I didn't hit the 2000 calorie mark, but I have no idea what my macro's would be.

**TLaude** · 06-17-2013, 09:26 PM

6/17/13

Woke up 4 hours late, missing my gym session. Barely made it to work on time. -_-

Decided to go to the gym after work instead... yup, that was a backfire. Never will I ever go to the gym after work again. Looked like a can of sardines; 50 people all packed into the weight room, lines of people for each bench/squat rack. No thx jeff. Reorganizing my workouts this week to a Tues/Thurs/Sat lifting schedule at 4am.

My eats for the day..

Great workout!

Eat's were not to bad, but id like improvement. Lunch is what kills me as I don't bring anything prepped. Once I move out of these damn dorms, I'll be able to prep my food much easier. I'm still losing weight slowly and the LBM is rising due to noob gains.

Here's the eats...
