So I’ve been working out with my trainer, Randy, 4-5X/week for the last two weeks.  It’s going well - I’m already getting stronger and perhaps, dare I hope, a little bit leaner!  Been doing 30 mins of cardio 4-5X/week too.  I decided to be alcohol-free for the month of September and have been eating 6-7X/day.  My typical day looks like this:

5:00 AM - Wake up and do 30 mins of cardio (empty stomach)

7:00 AM - Oatmeal with 1/2 c fat free milk or whole wheat english muffin with fat free cream cheese and 1/2 c Eggbeaters

9:30 AM - Protein bar

12:00 PM - 1/2 c whole wheat pasta with 4 oz ground turkey breast and 1/2 c organic pasta sauce

1:30 PM - Training session

2:30 PM - Post work out shake (8 oz skim milk with 1 scoop BSN Lean Dessert)

4:30 PM - Chicken or turkey with veggies (or a lower carb Lean Cuisine if I’m too tired to cook)

7:00 PM - 1/2 c fat free cottage cheese with 1 cup Yoplait light

I know that I have a lot of dairy in my current meal plan, which some people would advise against.  I love dairy and want to make sure I’m getting all of the calcium I need.  I think for now, it is ok, and when I plateau or want to get a little more lean, I’ll cut some of the dairy out.

I’m also taking a multivitamin, calcium, joint support, glutamine, BCAA’s, and L-Carnitine.

I have a tendency to weigh myself/measure my body fat too frequently, so I’ve decided not to post progress pics/check my stats until the end of September.  I’m trying hard to stay patient when it comes to results - if it were quick and easy to be buff and lean, then everyone would look like a fitness model!
