Six Pack Abdominals: Day 7

Yesterday was day 7 of my Six Pack Abdominals experiment.  Overall things went well, though as you can see I didn’t eat nearly what I was supposed to.  I’m aiming to eat about 2800 calories, and yesterday I was about 900 calories short… just a little, right?  If I keep up this fitness level, I really need to be reaching my caloric intake goal.

I also decided to start supplementing caffeine.  I am taking 200 mg first thing in the morning and about 15 minutes before my workout.  This will give me a little extra boost of energy, and should slightly increase my metabolic performance throughout the day.  I don’t drink coffee or soda, so I don’t see this being a problem.  I’m also still taking a multi-vitamin, 1000 mg of Vitamin C, and 30 grams of protein powder after each workout.  When I play basketball I also take 400 mg of Ibuprofen, because I get shin splints pretty bad, and the Ibuprofen at least masks it during play.

This morning I weighed 204.8.  Remember my goal is to be at 185 in 53 days.  We’ll see…
