I really think i should lay off the cardio...and i am also leaning towards skipping the contest this sept and focusing on gaining some quality mass for next spring (without the fat of course). at this point ill still be small cause ill have to diet down in just a few weeks, and ill have to spend a ton of money on training and food and supplements. i really think i would be happier and healthier if i just focus on eating good clean stuff in moderate portions 6 times a day and training hard...and returning to normalcy and also focusing on some other goals which includes stuff for work and possibly personal trainer cert. and going to some you pick farms and visiting family and experimenting with healthy cooking. i also really want to be able to eat the veggies from our garden this summer. to have to be dieting during tomato season would be just cruel. with all that said i just dont know if i can fully devote myself to another diet and contest this year, doesnt seem worth it. my goal for this year was one contest...and i dont want to half ass another contest just out of obligation and sacrifice my physical and mental wellbeing. but i think that it will seem worth it next year...with 5-10 more lbs of lean mass and likely only having to diet for 12 weeks as opposed to 18. and also having that much more knowledge and experience..

Food today:
Meal 1: 1/4 cup soy milk, 1/4 cup oats, 1/2 scoop pea protein, 1 banana
Meal 2: apple, 2/3 scoop pea protein, 1 banana, 1 tb pb
meal 3: 1/4 cup walnuts, 1/6 cup golden cous cous, 1 peach, 1 banana. impulse banana, bumping up this meal to 460 calories...but i did cardio after and also figured that today is leg day.
Meal 4: soy bean spaghetti, 1 tb pb, 8 brussell
Meal 5: 1/2 pack tofu, 1 cup broccoli, 1 tb pb
Meal 6: 20 almonds, 1/4 cup soy milk, 2 tb pb
2147 cals, 230 carbs, 123 protein, 87 fat.

Yesterday after meal 4 I was pretty full, tired, and headachy so I didn't eat tofu or broccoli. Just the PB and then did some work around the house...so the totals ended up being 1942 calories, 219 carbs, 103 protein, 80 fat. Passed out at 8pm but kept waking all night to pee!! grr.. it is the price we pay.

120.2
30 mins low intensity pre breakfast. 5.0% incline 3.8 mph.
Off from work, lunch with mom for meals 2 and 3...

This sounds good! Maybe trying new things out and getting experience. Though I do not know what you mean by the dieting and not eating stuff out of the garden? Maybe you should play around by eating things out of the garden and seeing if you gain weight with veggies. See what works for you. Also what makes you happy and/or being 'normal' while maybe getting the results you want.

Photo disc came!! This is my fav
