Phase 2. On my way to lean muscle!

I'm back for sure now for phase 2 of my transformation... I sort of had started a new workout to put some lean weight but a lot was going on and I started losing confidence and i was down for a while but recently I received great news and now I'm back baby!

So I've bought a quiet a few of supplements such as multi vitamins, zma, glutamine, creatine, amino acids, ginseng, casein protein. I got a free bottle of Hemo Rage for a pre workout drink. I've started eating vegetables for the first time in my life and i've also added blue berries to my post workout protein shakes. My diet is pretty much perfect. Around 2200 calories a day and 170g of protein daily. I'm weighed in today at 147.2 pounds. I'm surprised but not totally surprised that i lost another 3 pounds while not working out seriously like i was when i lost all the weight BUT my diet was pretty strict these 2 months! I'm eating 7 to 8 meals a day. Plenty of carbs in my breakfast and lunch, keeping my dinner with lean protein only and avoiding carbs after lunch.

My goal: 15 pounds of lean muscle weight in 3 months!

I will try to keep a daily blog of everything. Dont know how much i will succeed with that with a long hours at my job and battling my lower back and hamstring injuries. But I will try! Same with my workouts! I know I cant go too hard to not hurt myself more but I will keep pushing it!

This is me right now.. Hopefully in 3 weeks I'll look much better and bigger than that!

Do not skip breakfast!

When you start on a diet to either lose weight or gain lean muscle weight it all starts with a good healthy breakfast! If you are in a rush grab a protein shake. And no even if you are losing weight you should have protein shakes, specially if you are exercising.
Remember to eat enough to satisfy your hunger but NOT make you full.

Some good examples of things you can eat for breakfast is:
apple, turkey bacon, whole wheat bread, almond butter, whole grain english muffin, oatmeal, egg whites..

If you looking to build lean muscle weight:
apple, turkey bacon, whole wheat toast with natural peanut butter, oatmeal, egg whites with 1 whole egg omelet with mushrooms or spinach. if you really want to take it to the next level add Whole Wheat Pasta with a Protein Shake.

Oh and Skim Milk is always better.
