i agree with tankuk just imagine what you'l be looking like in 6months-years time.....

Dean,

If you think you are losing muscle then you are not eating enough protein - and looking at your diet I would have to agree!

Here is what I would do:

MEAL 1: 2 whole eggs, 8 egg whites Scrambled 75g oats 20g raisens.
               litre of water. Mug of coffee, mug of green tea.

MEAL 2: 1tin of tuna fish in a wholemeal bread sandwich.

MEAL 3: Chicken, 75g wholegrain rice, broccolli, 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil,

MEAL 4: 50g protein shake, 1 banana

MEAL 5: 300 grams sweet potato, 300 grams white fish, spinach

Workout

MEAL 7: 50g whey isolate, 50g glucose

MEAL 8: dinner she cooks so varied but normally good

MEAL 9: 250g fat free cottage cheese, 2 weetabix in water, 20 grams cashew nuts

several of your meal I wouldnt even class as being meals or snacks!

Come Dean - do it for england!

PJ

its so hard i dont get time to eat through the day. i went self employed april last year and every min i'm not
working costs me money. that one of the reasons i train at 7am. this week has been almost a total wash out
but i'm gonna TRY and get back on track next week. i'm keeping it clean, diet i mean.god i sound like a junky
lol. but no way near enough protien,carbs,vitimans,etc. i shall go to the gym tomorow morning for a sholder and
arm session as i missed that last week. it will be the 1st of this week though

i dont mean to make excuses but what with work and getting the babys room ready for her arival in may ive
just focused else where. but thats what i need people like you pj to tell me to stop the fanny arsing about!!

as for doing it for my beloved England, i've dont soooo much for this green and pleasant land one more thing
wont make much of a driffance my place in England heaven is booked!. at the moment i need to find new
insperation, i think the thought of my little unborn baby being proud of her healthy daddy could be it. i see so many new dads let them selfs go and use there baby as an excuse. my wife and i want to be the oppersite
and be an exsample to be followed!

my god i do waffle dont i? bed go to bed Dean. oh and note to ones self 'must stop drinking green tea before
bed!!

Tut tut,

Come now Dean you know excuses are like arseholes - every one has one and they all stink of S***! Naw only joking mate - the only thing I have changed - food wise, while u r at work is the shake as the nuts and fruit really isnt a meal. The other meals Im assuming you have ouitside work - so time shouldnt be so much of an issue.

As for you family - well you do have to get you priorities straight and if doing family stuff means missing the gym - then a mans gotta do what a mans gotts do, cant be helped!

As for your motivation of looking and being healthy fro your kids - that should be another reason why you change your diet around a lil - you will definately feel the benefits mate.

Keep it up and NEVER say die.

PJ

cheers big fella. not gonna do the shakes though. long story but i'm not doing any suplements any more not for a while anyway i want to see what can be done without them sort of a personal exsperment. got a load of freeranged chicken brests froze them to day woul one of them do instead?

- yea of course they would do - but I thought you struggled to eat at work!!?? As for not using shakes - whole food does rock - but PWO you NEED a shake....

PJ

but that would screw up my exsperment.

Then experiment away - but your post workout meal wont be as effective..

i know mate but we will see. i know my training methods are a little out side the circule but that me all over. i'm thying to find new ways of doing things. i know i'm never gonna get big like you but i'd like to at least get to a point i can say i'm happy with. not happend yet. every year is a falour weather it be loads of muscle but too fat or really lean but not enough muscle.  

Nevr say never Dean, if you want something bad enough you will achieve it! As for being big like me - man im small..

PJ

yea tiny only 1 inch tall and half an inch wide. lol you nugget. lol your skin looks like the hardest working orgnasam in the north trying to keep its self from bursting. lol

how did the flex comp go btw?

Graham Hogg won it mate, I was suprised actually as I thought Alvin Small would have got it - he placed third in the british heavyweight final - whereas Graham, who has a great physique, won the first timers or novices, so couldnt quite work that one out. Anyhoo, good luck to the guy he has good potential I think.

not an arse licker and deffently no bb comp judge but but going on the pics that were posted on the site you looked classes ahead of all of them. i know your not gonna agree with me because you a sportsman but i think its not what you know but WHO you know!

I wont argue with that - there is a hell of a lot of politics in Bodybuildin man!

i've just read through others logs and feel totaly crap as i've had a pants week! been soooooo busy with work life and very very troubled with some awful news that my wife has suspected grumbling apendix (NOT GOOD for her or the baby!!!!!) tuesday i had cod and chips curry sause and a savaloy. with pancakes to follow.
then last night i felt so hungry and stressed at midinght when i finished painting the nursary i had more pancakes coverd in maple syrup b4 bed. and today i got up 2 hours late so i had not breckfast. and just a chicken brest and 3 chick legs at 13:00 then nothing till dinna at 19:00 which was sausage and wedges

to top it all coz i was so tird i missed wensdays leg training!

so all agreed pants week! i'm sorry evey one really i am. how dear i try to advise others when i'm so awful my self? i'm gonna distroy my sholders and arms tomorow morning. i really beasted them last week but tomorows gonna be emence! charging mp3 player now. its gonna be Atreyu's the curse tomorow! kick arse album!! a must for and one who ows the gym some blood sweat and tears.
