New goals

[DoWork]

I'm back and for good.

I've been doing cardio for almost a month with light lifting (dis-located my knee cap october 30).

Last friday I started heavy lifting (trying to gain).

I worked out yesterday and I'm going to the gym in like an hour.

Current weight: ~185lbs (5'10"
Goal: Look good by my birthday (june 4).

In the last two months I've also changed my diet drastically. I eat fruits, veggies, chicken, eggs, protein shakes, etc. I've been trying to eat around 6 smaller meals a day to keep my metabolism going.

finally, I have a dedicated workout partner!

Is there anything specific I should keep record of during the process?

I'm jealous, I wish I had a workout partner. My roommates are all so lazy and none of them are into diet/nutrition like I am. Whenever they see my protein they make that dude you're getting a dell voice and are like "Duuuuude, is that HGHHHHHHH?!" (mimicing that 'my new haircut' video on youtube). Oh well what can you do.


I guess the only advice, or things to keep track of rather, would be your calorie intake (i use fitday.com). I eat very frequently, every couple hours, and I've started to get a little sloppy with my intake sometimes, so it slows weight loss. I'm trying to cut down for summer. I'm basically the same size as you, ~180-185ish, 5'11''. This will be my summer of abs! (never had them in my life...oh so close)

Good luck to ya!

Nice.. sounds like things are straightening out for you. Best of luck to you man. Keep us updated with how it's going.

As for record keeping.. I personally like to snap a pic or two every so often.. so you can look back at them all and see the changes. Sometimes as you live it, you wont notice THAT much change.. but then go back a few months and look at a pic and you'll be renewed with excitement to keep working at it.
