Lol, thanks guys. I wanted to also update you guys on the Eating and Exercise procedures that I have been on currently.
#1.) Workout Sessions
This is about the same, but in total I do 37 sessions a month broken down as follows:
- 8 of those sessions are HITT Cardio (Zone Training) and ABS only
- 12 of those sessions are ABS only
- 17 of those sessions are Muscle Building for Chest, Triceps, Shoulders, Back, Biceps and Legs. Chest, Shoulders and Triceps are included on 13 sessions, Back and Biceps are on 14 sessions, then Legs are included on 6 sessions as they are already being worked through the HITT Cardio 8 sessions as well.
#2.) Eating Procedure
As you guys know, my Eating Procedure is based on The Intermittent Fasting Theory rather than The 6 Meals A Day Theory. I tried the 6 Meals A Day Theory and it didn't work for my body type, Intermittent Fasting however works greatly for me and also has a ton of side health benefits that comes with it as well. My eating plan goes as follows over a 24 hour period:
I wake up and wait about 3 - 4 hours before eating
Meal One: "Protein Shake Meal" - Optimum Nutrition Protein Shake w/ side of Light Apple Juice that's cut with a lot of water, with a handful of Raw (no salt) Pecans. The shake is just water with 35 grams of protein added in.
3-4 hours pass
Meal Two: "Regular Meal" - A meat, veggie, pecan and water meal. The meat might be either a small piece of pork chop with two small strips of baked whiting fish or 6 small baked shrimp, or it might be some baked chicken in the form of either 3 wings or 2 legs and 1 wing or 2 wings and 1 leg. The veggie will be either a small side of Corn (no salt just black pepper added) or Very Green Green Beans with olive oil on top and black pepper. Then I will top it off with a handful of Pecans, about 35 oz of water, and my supplements which include ON Opti-Men Multi-Vitamins, Fish Oil and Green Tea Extract.
6-8 hours pass
Meal Three: Another "Regular Meal"
6-8 hours pass but this is usually sleep time give or take, which means that the 24 hour cycle would usually be over.
#3.) Notes
Apples have been totally eliminated, I have no idea why but they were destroying my stomach.
I really don't count every single calorie nor do I weigh myself, I focus on how I look in the mirror. You could be losing 10 lbs a month but gaining 10 lbs of muscle, which means the "weight scale" wouldn't move.
In terms of cheat meals, I do one every 5 days, which goes along with my structure of having 80% of the monthly meals be "health sources" and 20% being "fast food". It breaks down where 24 - 25 days I'm eating my regular health related eating listed above, and 5 - 6 days I'm eating a cheat meal. Note that the cheat meal is just one meal, it's not an ENTIRE DAY of pigging out. After I eat my cheat meal, I would do a fasting session and then go right back on the regular health related eating schedule.
This is a program that I'm going to stay on forever. It's important guys to develop a Workout and Eating Program that you can maintain forever, it does you no good to do something for 3 months, get slim/toned, then fall off the program and gain it right back over the following 2 months. Develop a program that you can stay on FOREVER and you will be rewarded for it.
The rewards come not just from the mirror, but I'm talking more energy, better focus, better sex drive, more optimism, more upbeat, more tenacity, more aggressiveness, better performance in the bedroom, and a better overall health status that helps avoid the MAJOR illnesses.
