day 3

alright, it's day 3 and there's no significant visual progress ... however, i certainly do feel very different ... tired as hell! ...

time to be serious ... up until today, i've been focusing on cardio, abs and diet control ... for the next 4 days, the plan is to build in heavier weight exercises into my routine ; however, unlike building muscles, my intentions are not to breakdown muscle cells and rebuild them ... but to utilize larger muscles in my body to burn more calories and hence more fat ... the key is not to breakdown too much muscle cells so that i can use these muscles to work off my fat on a daily basis ...

today's intake
breakfast: 3 eggs (240 calories), 1/2 bacon (100 calories), fruit (100 calories), small bowl of cereal (80 calories)
snack 1: high protein peanut butter cereal bar (140 calories)
lunch: 3/4 Qdoba naked chicken taco salad (300 calories)
snack 2: 1/4 Qdoba naked chicken taco salad (100 calories)
snack 3: apple (47 calories)
dinner: rainbow roll (300 calories), salmon (100 calories), yellowtail (100 calories), white tuna (100 calories)
late night snack: banana (62 calories)
water: 2.5L
supplements: ginseng & centrum multi-vit

total: 1769 calories (not bad)

morning workout
30 min run

evening workout
10 min warm-up run
2X15 dumbell chest press at 30lbs
2X10 dumbell chest press at 40lbs
4X10 dumbell back lifts at 30lbs
4X30 dumbell shoulder lifts at 5lbs
5X10 bicycle crunches
30 min cardio on bike
10 min stretches (poll results indicate streching will help me get 6 pack, so there you have it!)

all in all, i'm pretty satisfied with today's diet and workout progress ... now it's time to make up on the sleep ... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
