This is the first time I've ever worked out in my entire life.
I mean really worked out, weights, running, the whole 9 yards. I've worked at a desk for the past half decade.
I figured my muscles were wobbly having never really used them. I'm a week into my training and focusing on mastering my diet and hitting weights 3 times a week, 10min of cardio warmup prior.
I can't afford to purchase anymore equipment and wanted dumbbells because I'm doing this alone, the gym is too far (cant afford the gas or the time.. working 2x shifts to make ends meet).
I've been eating clean for 4 months now, but I've about doubled my calories so I can hit the weights.
Meal #1: tuna on wheat, slice of cheese, healthy choice chicken soup
Meal #2: quaker oats oatmeal, 1/3rd cup of cranberries, fat free milk
Meal #3: 4 eggs, onions, peppers, little A1 sauce
Meal #4: chicken breast with either salad (no dressing), white rice/vegetables, or pasta/tomato sauce.
No beer, no pizza, no sweets, no butter, no cheat meals period. Sorta driving me crazy as the foods are making me sick (mentally..) but it seems to be working thus far.
The veins in my hands and forearms are pulsing recently. I feel stronger. Could be in my head but it's a nice feeling all the same.
