fc training blog

I haven’t been using this blog feature much, so for much more updated information, check out my log on the forums.

I’ve been working out 5-6 days a week since February 2009 now (and between a month to two on, I take a week to rest) and am feeling great.  I’m slowly trying to improve my diet each week, working on changing one meal at a time.  I feel if you try to overhaul everything at once, I often get turned off by the idea of having to calculate so many things etc and end up not doing it.

This past week has been pre&post workout nutrition, and maybe this week I’ll tweak breakfast a bit to add some more calories to it.

It’s been almost 2 full months that I have not been to the gym.  I have some weights here at home and have been playing alot of soccer recently, so my weight has been around the same.  This full-time job thing is not fun at all, too bad I just can’t work out for a living.

Anyway after getting up to speed on BodySpace and seeing so many dedicated and determined members, I decided I just have to make it work.  Whether it is going at 4am or going late at night (my job hours are 730-5 and I’m home by about 6), I need to go.  Something I also am looking to do is having a proper diet.  I tried this while I was at school for a while and love it, however it did not last due to my studies, not having a car, etc.  I never eat junk all the time but if I alter my diet some I could definitely see some changes.

I’m looking to lose body fat most of all, then put on solid lean muscle.  One of my biggest goals is to work hard at my abs.  This is something I really have never achieved well and that needs to change.  The diet should help me obtian this goal as well.

I’ll update again when I plan everything out and decide when I’m going to start, probably at the start of September when I get everything organized.

Well this is my first blog post here at bodybuilding.com.  I have been lifting on and off ever since I got to college, but this time I am trying to do it more efficiently and consistently.  One of my main goals this time around it to eat right.  Now I haven’t been downing fast food for three years or anything like that but I am now going to pay more attention to calories, protein intake, etc.  I really want to see if tracking all this information and modifying it to what the "experts" and other people who have much more experience than I do, will help me achieve some muscle mass and maybe some lower body fat.  Stepped on my friend’s body fat % scale the other day and it told me 12%.  Not sure how accurate it is but I’m gonna say it is within one or two percent so I think I want to get to 9-10% body fat to look a little more cut.  I’ll try to post on here often this way I can get more comments and insight from other users that are going through or have gone through the same process.  Thanks for reading.
