Thanks for the replies. It was a very nice weekend and we had so much to do that just today we went to the supermarket. We got lots of fruits (strawberries, pears, apples, grapes, peaches, bananas), veggies, meats, cold cuts, whole wheat bread, milk, yogurt, nuts (4 lbs mixed nuts), fish, oatmeal, eggs, tuna, and a few things that I forgot now. My cousin also stopped by and dropped about 8 lbs of different cheeses (pecorino, mozzarella an something else). Still, with all this food it's hard to put together a menu with the cal, protein and carbs I need to gain muscle. Today I cheated on my diet during the morning but the afternoon and evening went fine, althought without counting my food intake.
Workout:
bench 3x5x110
db row 3x5x40 eh
DB Fly-Press 4x8x25 eh
BB row 4x8x70
Incline DB Press 3x12x25 eh
Rear Deltoid Lateral Raise 3x12x15 eh
It kicked my butt and I failed before I could complete the last exercise. I look at how much iron you people lift and I admit that I get a little jealous. Maybe not jealous, I think is more like embarrased with my numbers.
Anyway, Today it took off and in a bit I'll hit the kitchen to get all the food prep. for tomorrow and the menu will look like something like this, not organized by time:
Peanut butter sandwich
3 boiled eggs
2 peaches
2 bananas
1 cup low fat yogurt
Turkey and cheese sandwich with mustard and low fat mayo
12 oz 2% milk with 2 scoops of whey protein
Instant oatmeal
Lamb and potatoes
1 oz mixed nuts
Estimated Calculated nutrition: 2519 cals 77 fat 280 Carbs 190 protein
My wife still needs authorization to post here and she is now napping for her shift. Thanks for the support.
