It has been a week since I decided to take a daily picture, and I have been consistently taking my picture. I have decided to wait two weeks until I post my first video, since I have only been taking pictures a week. I really want my first video to be exceptional, and waiting a bit is the best thing for that. Here is my latest photo.
The photo was taken 02/03/09, I weighed in around 180, its a little more than I hoped, but I'll catch up. I have revived my old diet, with the exception of a few tweaks.
- My new caloric target is 1500 calories on the days that I do not go to the gym, and 1700 on those that I do. These extra calories will be in the form of carbs and protein.
- I am reducing my carb and fat intake. Daily Target: Fat 20% | Carbs 35% | Protein 45%
- I am increasing my intake of slow absorbing carbs; I will get them from whole grain breads, pasta, and green vegetables.
- I will eat six meals on gym days, and five on non-gym days.
- I will be taking creatine, which causes your muscles to take on water weight.
- I will be taking in extra calories one day a week. I will rotate my "cheat day" between Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. My "cheat day," is a day when I will take in a few hundred extra calories. My goal in fluxing my caloric intake, is to keep my metabolism on it's toes. I chose Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, because they all fall on days after I wight-lift; my body will need the extra calories to build muscle.
