What? That's ME in the mirror?? Ugh....

I'm going to start the Turbulence Training program on Monday. I'm still reviewing the book and information.

Starting off at 150 lbs. maybe 23% bodyfat (eyeball estimate).

Wish me luck. Here goes.....

That's great...but what's your diet/nutrition plan? Even Craig will tell you without solid nutrition, even his programs won't be effective.

i thought i'd follow the one in the book by chris mohr.

i've read many articles by him. he seems to really know what he's talking about.

my numbers are just like the one in the women's example. so it'd be..

150 lbs @ 1650 cal's.

120 g. prot, 55 g. fats, 169 g. carbohydrates. i'll spread it out over 6 meals (including post workout).

Just wanted to say good luck E ! I'll be following your log.

[eLeMeNT]

thanks a bunch.




i'll have to admit, i really like the way the program is laid out so that even people with time constraints can do it. with my schedule, i can only get to the gym 3 days per week, so this program seems perfect for me.

TT has a diet plan in it doesn't it?

Good luck!

[eLeMeNT]

yeah, it's written by chris mohr.

Good luck with your goals!

[eLeMeNT]

I have to set 3 short term goals and 3 long term goals.

Short Term:
Get thru the programs without missing workouts
Stop making excuses
Start eating right and at the right times.

Long Term:
Get into low/mid teens for bf %
Feel better about myself
Do atleast 1 pull up

Good luck; you can do it!

Good nutrition plan.

I'd get a little more specific on the goals - need to be measureable, that's the best way to evaluate progress.

i'm wierd when it comes to that. i don'k like setting goals with specific numbers. for some reason, it really stresses me out. it frustrates me because i concentrate on that on number all the time and it causes me to get discouraged very easily.

setting goals like the one's i've set, they may not be number specific, but they can be met or they can't.





Stepped on the scale first thing this morning... 150.4
