    I've wanted to post in this forum for a long time now but have been afraid to in case I can't keep at it. I don't want to start something and then stop. But the time has come to get my ass in gear so if anything this will add to the many number of reasons to keep at it.

    Some facts about me…

    Age: 23
    Height: 6' 4.5"
    Weight: 144kg
    B/F: Approx 35%

    My stats as of 2nd Sept '07

    Waist 46.5"
    Chest 52"
    Belly 52"
    Left Bicep 15.5"
    Right Bicep 16.75"
    Left Calve 18"
    Right Calve 18"
    Left Thigh 30"
    Right Thigh 29"
    Neck 18"
    Resting H/R 84 bpm

    My aim?

    To completely change my body shape and to get my b/f down to a healthy level. These are my concerns for now.

    My ‘regime’ would consist of something along the lines of this…

    Monday: 45-60 minutes cardio
    Triceps / Chest

    Tuesday: 45-60 minutes cardio
    Biceps / Abs

    Wednesday: Rest

    Thursday: 45-60 minutes cardio
    Back / Shoulders

    Friday: 45-60 minutes cardio
    Legs

    Cardio would (hopefully) include 15 minutes HIIT on the bike, X trainer and treadmill. i.e. 1min low resistance followed by 30secs high resistance. I would also like to include swimming into this also but I’m not a strong swimmer so will have to think it through. Plus I’d like to add the rowing machine into this also however it is my arch nemesis so don’t know how this will pan out 

    The weights wouldn’t be too intense, just enough to tone up and reduce muscle loss. Specific weight exercises haven’t been pin pointed yet but I’d like to stick to free weights for as much of it as I can.

    My diet!!!! This part is tough. I work on the road and I need to try and plan my day as far as food intake go. My office is my car so I need to really try and figure out what foods I can have. I might try and buy a cooler or some such so I can keep food refrigerated.

    So if anyone has any ideas what I could bring with me, or even things I can buy as I go, for instance what I have been doing is buying pre cooked turkey or chicken sandwich filler in a Supervalu or something and a fresh bun or similar (hi GI I know). Sometimes it’s peppered or something, it’s probably not ideal I guess. I’d also like to get a post work out protein supplement, any recommendations on this?

    So, I’d like a daily food intake to look something like this.

    8am: Porridge or 2 boiled eggs and wholemeal toast

    Workout

    10am-11am: Protein shake / banana

    1pm-2pm: Chicken/turkey breast with some kind of salad or fruit

    4pm-5pm: Fish and salad/fruit

    8pm-9pm: Fruit salad or some kind of sandwich, peanut butter maybe on wholemeal bread.

    It’s the hours between 11am – 8pm I could be in my car. So the chicken and fish dishes would need to be worked on.

    That’s it for me for now; let me know what you guys think.

    Thanking you.

    I would suggest buying many cans of tuna in the supermarket. Bring 1 or 2 of them with you each day in the car as a snack or half of your main meal. Lots of protein in them, will kill your hunger, and no carbs. Good for loosing weight and maintaining muscle.

    Also, tuna cans don't require any prework - just a can opener, fork, and somewhere to drain the sun flower oil/brine/spring water.

    You could also get a few bags of almonds in the supermarket. Have a handful a day. Apparently they kill hunger, contain healthy fats and high in protein. Don't eat too many per day though as the fat may be too much.

    Good luck.

    Well i did a shop today and believe it or not i actually bought 3 bags of almonds. Mainly for sticking in the porridge in the morning. Didn't even think of bringing them out with me to nibble on during the day. Thanks.

    Yeah i have a few cans of tuna in the fridge alright, bought some lemon jif today so will bring that with me to add some flavour. Somehow i doubt i could stick to eating from the can for long without some kind of flavour added to it.

    Cheers
