So i am going to start an online journal, this is mainly to keep me motivated and to hopefully get some other skinny guys off their ass.
I started around June this year (if im remembering correctly, crazy year lol), have fell in love with the gym and dont plan on stopping anytime soon. I have actually gone through the body transformation stage with my wife. She started at 210lbs after two babies, she has gotten herself down to 132 lbs with only diet, she never stepped foot in a gym. Now she is at her weight she is comfortable with she started going to the gym about a month ago to tighten everything up. It only took her 6 months to loose it all, with only diet and garcinia cambogia? and raspberry keytones. I have included some pics below also.
I started at 138 lbs, i actually thought i was 143 lbs but my scale was inaccurate lol. Currently i am at 166 lbs as of today. I did slack in the gym for the month of November and first half of December. This was due to my job and i am flying all across the US during that time period. THink i was home for a period of 4 days the entire time. Lost about 3lbs, alot due to tiredness and not alot of time to eat sometimes. I know i know not an excuse. Log starting below. I plan to update this every month.

Starting Stats:
138lbs
6ft
Couldnt bench 70lbs lol

Friday
I use this day to rotate an additional day above each week. This week it was another Monday, next week will be another Tuesday, following week i will switch Tuesday and Thursday and put an extra Thursday like above in. This would give me enough rest between working out same body parts again. Does that make sense?

I came up with this schedule by myself, please feel free to critique it and point to where you think i could improve.


Diet

I try to keep this the same everyday


Breakfast (this is a pre-workout meal, usually an hour before workout)- 4 eggs, baked beans, two pieces of bread with butter, orange juice
Pre-workout shake - C4
Post-workout shake - two scoops of ON 100% Whey - about 44g protein

Lunch - Chiptole Buritto - not sure of protein, says its around 1100 calories

Dinner - whatever wife cooks, example - chicken breast, rice, broccoli, sweet potatoes, ice cream

Before Bed - GNC Pro Bulk Mass Gainer Shake - 1200 calories, 50g protein

I know i should be counting my protein intake more. I plan to keep better track of this.

So you went from 138 to 166 but are still 6 feet? Try bumping your calcium intake to put some inches on.

:D
