Journal will start tomorrow

[totalchaos]

Ok well I have decided that the best way to see some results would be to get as much advice as possible. As some of you may remember a few days back I posted a thread about how I was perfect with my diet after 5 weeks then splurged and binged for 2 days. Well I am back in the swing of things. Anyways I would like to post my journal day by day, including training and diet. I will start this tomorrow but I'll just give some basic information right now. I am 23/m about 6'2 and weigh about 223. I am trying to get my bf % down to about 11-12 percent. I am at around 18 right now (last time I had it measured at the gym, give or take. A typical day regarding my diet would look something like this.

Meal 1:
1 cup of oatmeal, 6-7 egg white, one scoop of whey (20g)

Meal 2 (generally post workout): 2 cups of skim milk with 2 scoops of whey, a bananah or 2

Meal 3:
Usually 8oz of chicken breast with a cup of rice or baked potatoe with same macronutrients as rice

Meal 4:
Usually the same as meal 3

Meal 5:
Either the same as meal 3 and 4 or I might up or down the carbs a few grams depending on the rest of my day

Included on a daily basis is:
-Good amount of veggies
-Multivitamin
-Vit C
-Ceatine
-Glutamine
-Chronium Picolinate

So that is just a general idea of what I am working with right now. More will be revealed as the days progress.

Oh and I almost forgot I take ripped fuel by twinlab (fat burner) twice a day.

Journalling looks like it would be a good way for you to stay on track. Looking forward to seeing what you do for workouts.

Yea I keep a written joural but just of my workouts, I have never actually written out a detalied one including diet so this will be interesting.

Welcome aboard, always room for another cyberspace fitness brother here.

Why don't you start right now! Drop down and do a single set of pushups to failure. Then get ready for tomorrow.

Maybe consider the fitday journal like many of us here do. See FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal.

I'll be checking out your posts and privately cheering for you!

Yep keeping an accurate log is a good way to keep yourself honest. And get all of us on your back to keep you motivated if you have those binges too often.

Cool thanks pierini. Well I did do a cardio session tonight, 30 minutes and roughly about 8 sets of abs.

[totalchaos]

Now if I incorporate pushups in my cardio days would I be overtraining my chest if I lift (chest) an additional 2 days a week?

[CF-OC_gal]

I wouldn't think so if you evenly space them apart.

Ok here is todays first workout, diet I will post once the day is done:

Low Row: (warmup 12x14)/ 13x12/ 14x10/ 12x10 (now I think each weight weighed about 10 pounds but thats how they were measured)

Lat Pulldown: 115x12 (was going to do 2 additional sets but someone jumped in front of me lol)

Pullup machine: 55x10/ 55x8

Dumbbell Pullovers: 60x12/ 60x12/ 60x12

One-Armed Rows (dumbbell): 60x10/ 50x12/ 50x10

Concentration curls: 30x8/ 25x10/ 25x10

Hammer Curls: 30x12/ 35x10/ 30x12

I know I was kind of jumping around but I was experimenting with weights and if I felt I couldn't pump out a full set of reps then I would go a few pounds lighter.
