THE DIET

While many see or hear the word "diet" they think about losing weight. Rightfully so, as enough out there are trying to just that. However, in my case it is simply about what I am eating. For me it is about gaining some weight. Difficult part for me is simply eating the basic 3 meals a day. My stomach shrank so I am rarely hungry, and when I do remember to eat, I can't seem to eat much if anything at all. There has been improvement, but still a long ways to go to get where I want.
I am one of those people who are constantly burning calories, even now as I am typing this, so in order to gain weight I need to consume about 3k per day. The food has gotten slightly healthier, but not "clean" as I don't plan on entering any competitions in the future. I simply want to be a bigger, better me. This skinny white boy look just isn't working for me. The smoothies have helped a bit, at least in getting something into my system when I can't bare the thought of eating something. All of the vitamins and minerals can't be a bad thing.

Here is what I am currently trying to consume on a daily basis. Dinner varies between chicken, beef, and pork with potatoes and vegetables. Either all seperate, or a mix within something like shepherds pie, casserole, etc. If not those then spaghetti or homemade hamburgers (using leaner meat now). And on Tuesdays is of course tacos, with Friday being our pizza night (or occasionally Chinese).

BREAKFAST
-Smoothie

LUNCH
-Protein Pancakes (3)
-Eggs (3)
-Banana
-Chocolate Milk

DINNER
-Various
-Chocolate Milk


POST-WORKOUT
-Protein Shake


4th MEAL
-Smoothie


5th MEAL
-Instant Oatmeal (2pks)

The breakfast smoothie is just basic orange juice, Greek yogurt, and fruit, with the nighttime is simply the same minus the o.j. and replaced by milk. You may have noticed how my lunch looks like a breakfast, but that is because I am lazy af when I wake up so cooking is not on my list of things to do. Plus, the smoothie kind of wakes me up so put it in there. I don't think I am hitting that 3k calorie mark, but right now simply focusing on just eating. Once that is take care of, then I will focus on the numbers. But, eating like a normal person will help me gain too, not as much, but still be more than I was.

NGN'S AB & CORE WORKOUT

Current situation has me doing a Arms, Legs, Arms, Legs, Arms, Legs, Resistance Band routine Monday to Sunday. Upper Body can be found (HERE) and Lower Body can be found (HERE). As for my abs and core, I do them at night while my lady is killing her workout. Two to three times a week. Although it may be from not having and using super heavy weight for leg days, but at this time I rank abs and core as my least favorite thing. I am a skinny white boy, so my abs have been visible  for awhile. However, they are clearly just for show unlike in my youth as they burn the most and do so from the get go. Not bad enough to make me not do them, simply enough to make me hate it.
Ironically, unlike with my arms and also my legs I don't work abs and core for "show". Once my appetite finally grows, I don't plan on eating clean enough to walk around with them. Enough so that if I chose to flex and show them to get my way with my woman, I could haha I train them for strength purposes. Which translates into other areas of the body when they are worked, which will only help me in the end.

As with my Upper Body Routine (HERE) and my Lower Body Routine (HERE), it is pretty basic stuff. I am a skinny white boy right now struggling to eat enough and as I tend to over reference, the home gym here in my cell at Arkham Aylum is in its infant stages. Regardless, I do what I can with what I have. If things get "easy", I switch things up, or add reps, or sets until I can increase the weight. Sundays are Resistance Band stuff, with random things. Sometimes I will throw in some Man-Makers, or a variety of push-up variations. If I took an "Off Day" it would be then, but I don't so I do minimal training just to keep the body active. But, that is just me and my state of mind, no knocks to anyone to takes a day away from self torture.
