Ok. After losing the love of my life, I decided to focus more on working out to get my mind off of things. I know some people may say that this isnt the answer to my life right now especially with the depression that I am having, but I feel that in order for me to be happy, I have to be happy with myself, so I am trying to make that conscious effort to do so.
I am 5'11" about 172 lbs 20% bf. I weighed 181 two weeks ago but I think we all know what depression does for you. You don't eat right, you don't sleep right, yadda yadda yadda. So I am going to make this effort.
My worst feature is my beer gut. Yes beer. I love it can't help it but I am going to make the effort of working at getting rid of my stomach and hopefully one day getting the sixpack I once had. I want to be able to take my shirt off and have girls say "dam!".
So. lets see. First of all is diet. Right now I cant guarantee myself that I can eat right epsecially since I havent been eating at all, but I know I can focus on trying to avoid fatty foods and high glucose foods and especially fast foods. I still have a large can of whey protein I intend to use after workouts so I hope that I can determine the daily
protein intake I will need.
Last time I remember correctly, 20% bf puts me at 137.6 lbs of
lean body mass. which means at 1.5 grams per lb I should be taking in 206.4 grams of protein to fuel my body for muscle growth.
Workout breakdown
-----------------------
I'm not sure how well i can do this, but I guess I can work it out as I go along. There really isnt much in my afterwork that will stop me from working out right now except when the fall comes and I'll deal with that bump when I get to it.
Day 1: Chest and Tris
Day 2: Calfs and Abs
Day 3: Back and Biceps
Day 4: Legs
I'd like a day of rest every now and then but I dont want to take too much time away after my muscles have healed from their prior workout. I remember something about at least 2 days, I guess I will just have to see.
I have a book on different types of workouts, chains to make "dumbbells"
and a workout in my house.
I'll be editting this as I go, but day to day things I will make a conscious effort to update this journal. This journal may be more than just a workout helper, with the tough times i am going through It may even help me mentally to jot my thoughts down.
