Workout Blog

Welcome to my workout blog! I have created this blog to help me monitor and motivate myself to achieving a decent diet, fat loss and muscle gains. I shall be posting on here fairly regularly with updates on my progress. I tend to do quite a bit of reading on work out related stuff. So if I come across any interesting articles or info I'll link them in the Articles section at the bottom of my blog so others can check them out too.

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to leave comments or ask any questions. There's a bit more info about me in the section on the left.

The First Week

Ok, so this is going to be my first week on Neil McTeggart's diet plan. I think it's going to take some getting used to and I don't think I'll be able to get it spot on to start with but I'm going to try my best!
The first thing I think I'll need to do is get up a little earlier so that I can have some brekkie before I go to work otherwise I can't see that I 'll be able to fit in the amount of protein that I need. I used to have breakfast between 9 and 9:30 which is a good couple of hours after getting up which is wasted fuel time! I am going to be aiming for 140 grams of protein per day (approximately a gram of protein per pound bodyweight). I will be trying to split this over six meals which is about 24 grams of protein per meal.
Second thing which will be a bit odd to start with is controlling my carb intake and trying to find enough variation in foods so I don't keep eating the same thing every day. I'll have to check out some recipes!

I shall post some before pics and take measurements hopefully this week so I can monitor fat loss/gains.
