Hi Guys

I want to stop this from becoming an essay so ill try and skim over everything - ive been here before - and before that. Ive started 2 other journals and each time ive done well for a bit then destroyed everything by falling back into shitty habbits.

Im 19 - currently 69KG and 5'10 - im affliced by the dreaded "moobs" condition which is the reason ive tried so many times to get into shape.

At the end of high school i was in the best shape of my life - 62Kgs - around 13% BF and plenty of lean muscle mass. i was getting compliments everyday and life was pretty good - got into a good uni. Started my degree and got a great job.

Then it went a tad downhill - My new uni lifestyle pretty much crapped all over my diet - i was eating fast food 5-6 times a week. I was getting zero exercise and i quickly ballooned up to about 75kgs not helped by a trip to Canada!. I broke up with my GF a few months ago - my new "lazy ass" habbits slowly destroyed that relationship and they also caused me to fail an entire semester of uni. I stopped going into work - and found myself quickly becoming broke and not heading anywhere good fast. I developed a condition called Vitiligo which affects skin pigmentation and found my self esteem at an all time low. I felt shit, i feel shit - i dont want to be like this and im determined to change everything.

So here I am - second year into uni - with a gym membership that ive been paying for, for 5 months and only used twice and im going to change that.

Funnily enough my body character is absolutely out of whack - ive got moobs fat over my gut - love handles. But at the same time fairly well defined arms and legs (im talking i can see the split between my calf muscles!)

so in keeping with this - im going on a heavy cut -

first things first - DIET.

All Fast Foods are officially cancelled.

(the only good thing ive managed to cling to is my water drinking habbits) - i will continue to only drink water - and copious amounts of light milk (i love the stuff)

Meals - 6 x a day - No idea what but im thinking some kind of mix between tuna/natural PB/wholegrain bread/cottage cheese/fruit of some kind (probably blueberries/bananas

If anyone knows things i can grab fromt he supermaket that i can take to uni and eat i would be very greatful - i mean things that come in little plastic packets of course

Im a massive fan of up and go (not sure if anyone here has heard of it) - it seems healthy enough so im going to keep that as a reserve breakfast supply for when i dont have time to make breakfast.

for breakfast my thinking is running down -scrambled egg whites x 4, Milk 300ml, oats in water maybe with some honey or fruit.

Goals at this point in time are - Weight of 60KG, Height of 6'0 (i have no idea how im going to accomplish this one =P) and bodyfat of <10%.

Ill be making every effort to keep on going - the transformation of the month section has shown me that i really have no excuses and that i will get results if i put the effort in.

(and if im hoping that the extra effort snags me a cute gf so be it)

Cheers
Hux

Todays diet has been pretty good

4 x scrambled egg whits
wholegrain bread with 100% peanut butter
about a litre of milk
2 x sandwiches with tuna/chicken
brown rice with lamb

im not calorie counting yet but i think thats probably under maintenance.

exercise so far has just consisted of 4 x 10 pushups (clap)

oh yes - i sneaked in a few pieces of chocolate.

My workouts have been a little sporadic but i have been doing them - my eating has cleaned up immensley - (although its far from perfect, too much friggen eating out)

BUT I TOOK SOME PICTURES.
