Week #2

Alright, a bit delayed of a post - and I don't have the updated pictures as of this moment (maybe tonight?), but here is some of the other information from January 4th to current:

Diet & Glucose Log (Click Image to enlarge);


As you can see, diet plan is much better then 10 cheese burgers a day. Far from perfect, but i'm working on it and trying to get my glucose under control. Just by increasing proper food intake, and going to the gym - i've now went back up 10-13 pounds. My official start weight was 178 pounds on Monday; as of today (Tuesday, January 12th), I weighed in at 190.5 - Chart is shown below.


I went over this diet plan with a nutritionist (smoking hot, just an FYI), and she counted the calories at approximately ~4000 a day. Some days I'll eat a bit less, some days I'll eat a bit more.

My weakest point is definitely my weekend dieting...or lack there of. I wake up to late, and I don't eat enough. I'd love to take this moment to tell you how amazing my cheat meal was...most people would punk out with 1 pizza to themselves. Me? 2. That's right. 2. You love it!

In addition to that - I've also been keeping a small log, and been writing down my workouts. The workouts are small, and embarrassing, but keep in mind I'm just getting back into it!
Everyone has to start back somewhere, right? (Click to enlarge Image(s));




&& last, but not least - the measurements!:


Made some slight gains; and will see more quickly. I'm not even on any creatine right now - so all of this is just muscle memory & re-hydration(arms went from 17" to 15" over holidays).

As I said - I'll post the weekly pictures once I take them...I'm kind of lazy, and it's slightly disheartening. But, that's kind of the purpose of posting them. Need to motivate myself some how, amirite?

If anyone has any questions, let me know!

January 4th, 2010 - Day 1

Alright, this proves my dedication to this project, because these pictures make me realise how much 2 months of fast food and lack of gym adds up.
Current Specs:
Weight: 180 lbs
Height: 6'0

I'll be posting my measurements, food and glucose log on Sunday, January 10th. I have a nutrionist appointment at the Diabetes center on Wednesday.

Wish me luck!

Happy New Years!

I kicked off the New Year with a celebration with my best friends. We went to Britt's place (which is gorgeous, just an FYI), and we all hung out, played pool, and had a few drinks. If that's a precursor to the rest of my year; i'm down!

But, the best part of it was the end of 2009, and the beginning of a new year. A new year with new goals, new ambitions, and new ideas. One of my goals is to get back into my fitness with renewed motivation. 2009 started strong, but ended badly. Between holidays, vacations (both my gym partners gone for entire month of December), physical inventory and weather restrictions - I haven't been to the gym in 5 weeks, and my diet has been horrendous. At the end of 2008, I weighed in at 197 pounds. At the end of 2009, I weigh in at a 185 - and with higher fat %. Now, most of this weight difference is attributed to 5 weeks of no proper dieting, no gym, and 5 months of no supplements (creatine, water weight), but regardless - it's not how I want to be, and I'm going to remedy it. Therefore, I will be using this Blog as a Status update. As of January 4th, I will be back on my supplements, back on a new and improved high intensity workout routine, and my diet will be in order. In addition to all that, I will be going to see a diabetic nutrionist and an endocronologist in order to get my diabetes 100%. I will be keeping Photo logs on here (Yes ladies, you all get to see me shirtless. Contain yourselves!) as well as Diet & Blood Sugar logs. With all that being said, here are my goals:
*Picture is from this summer, 195 lbs

2010 Goals:
- 195 Pounds by end of January (10-15 pound gain, and will get me back to my normal weight)
- 200 Pounds by end of February (Heavier then i've ever been)
- 210 Pounds by mid April
- 215 Pounds by mid May
- Then, I will start leaning for an end goal of 205 pounds, 8-10% BF for June/July.

Also, on a related note, i'm hoping ot get my Personal Trainer certification this year also. Knowledge is power! First Blogpost should be Monday night :)

One Year Older

On December 19th, I turned 23. It was a momentous oc...okay, no it wasn't. But, it was fun! We ended up having a party at my place for my birthday. It was a very good turnout, and I had a great time - until 2AM. Now, in my opinion, parties should shut down at 2AM and everyone should disperse. Why? Because NOTHING good happens after 2AM. I'm not going to get into what occured here, because all in all - it's rather irrelevant. A night of friends, and family, outweighs any bads.
Plus, I didn't end up in the hospital...so that automatically ensures the markings of an amazing birthday. Hoorah!

Halloween Fiasco.

It's been a long time, but I finally decided to be retarded again. Okay, more retarded then normal.
Halloween night started with a 26 of Vodka, and a lot of Jager - and ended with 2 glorious bags of saline administered via intervenes.

I remember brief moments of the night...lying on the hardwood and enjoying how comfortable it was... broom vs sword fight (broom won), and then trying to fix her sword with green tape...and failing...and then lying on the floor again. Dropping like a Litre of Cranberry/Vodka onto my stairs...and making a fool of myself via text to Robyn "No, it's NOT okay" <--that one is going down in the books. LOL. But, there is always the optimistic side of things...after getting out of the hospital at 6AM - there was no hang over, and I was no longer drunk. They had flushed my system out! Plus, I did go home and have a slumber party with a bunch of people randomly in my bedroom. AWKWARD! Anyways, here's Mr Clean & teletubby 1/4!Remember kids - drinking + diabetes = dumb.

BabyGavri!

Ladies - prepare yourselves. Baby Gavri has arrived. October 31st - @ ~1:30 PM - Dana gave birth to my child. Okay, it really isn't my child, but that's my story and i'm sticking to it. Jonny is well aware of the fact. He was born at nearly 10 pounds, & I personally vote that it's a 3 month old child in disguise as a new born. :P That hair = AMAZING!!

Without further adieu...

Gavri Douglas Mcneill!

PS - Comment on the fact baby has more hair than me, and prepare for throat punching. :) <3

Weekend Relaxation;

This weekend was relatively uneventful – but enjoyable nonetheless. Friday night was a quiet night at home catching up on some TV series I watch, reading a book, eating popcorn, and sleeping for 11 hours. Saturday I ran some errands (returned overdue books, and overdue movies), and then met up with my friend Mike for lunch. We were sitting there eating Wendy’s when it dawned us that we had missed my good friend Dean’s birthday – so we called him, and invited him to hang with us. We all had our computers setup, and were watching some show called “Kanon” which was…interesting. Honestly, I didn’t understand much of what was happening – but I enjoyed just chilling with the guys, and eating pizza. Also, we re-watched the Bad Boys 2 scene where the daughter is being picked up for a date.

Will Smith: “How old are you?”
Boy: “I’m 15”
Will Smith: “15?! N*gga you at least 30”

^ I laughed for about an hour. Oh, how I love BB2.

Sunday I got to meet a friend of mine – Matt (aka Praeclarus) – and Chris and I went to Moxies with him. It was definitely nice to put a face to the name, and to chat it up with him. Then, I went bowling (won 2/3!), to dinner (East Side Mario’s – pretty tasty), and to the movies with Robyn; and had a blast. We saw ‘Couple Retreat’ with Vince Vaughn. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from the movie – but it was actually pretty funny. When I got home around 10:30 - Brandon was still there, so I ended up finishing up Annapolis with him, reading a bit, then passing out.



Peace out!
