Started my workout schedule today, hoping it'll work this time around. I originally planned on doing a full body workout three times a week, but I decided to isolate muscle groups and work out six times a week instead. I'm going to bulk up (aka, gain muscle mass) as much as I can, then six weeks before the vacation to Cuba I'm going to switch to a fat loss program ie: more reps with less weight and cardio. Hopefully, this will result in a lean beach-worth physique for our vacation.
But a workout means nothing without the proper diet, so I've had to make some adjustments here too. First off, I've stopped drinking soda and am trying to keep my candy intake at a minimal (which is hard, because I'm achocolate fiend). Basically, my diet is primarily protien, I'm aiming for 1 - 1.5 grams of protein for every pound I weigh (155) everyday. And then there's the obviouss tuff like top-loading my carbs and not eating before bed. Because of finacial problems, I won't be able to eat perfectly, but i'll dothe best I can. Wish me luck.

As for the diet, I will try not to tamper with it on the weekends. Send me some recipes for stuff you can eat though, eh? Seriously, send them.
