    Update;

    I decided to go ahead and compete on May 28 bettering my physique even further. I also had the pleasure of documenting my progress with a recent photo shoot. Here are some of the pics from that.

    Thanks for all the love and support everyone!

    Keep on working towards your goals!

    Thats what I like to see, I wish you could share your diet and show people that its more than just CICO to lose bodyfat, people here think you can eat twinkies and get a sixpack as long as you are in your calorie window.

    Actually I did eat junk food here and there. As long gas I hit my macros, I would time the high sugar foods around my workouts.

    It's hard typing everything out on my phone, so I'll answer the diet and schedule questions tonight when I get home.

    Hey, would it be super crazy for me to ask what your daily or weekly schedule looks like? It sounds like you made the time by making fitness a priority (and it shows); I'm just looking for what your real-world, day to day looks like.

    I'm going to try and do this from my phone. The forum app doesn't work super well on my iPhone. :|

    My workouts were 4 - 5 days a week depending on the time in my prep. Never did cardio over 40 minutes. Total gym time 1.5 - 2 hours per day.

    Usually hit he gym after the kids are in bed at 8 - 9pm. Be at the gym until 10 - 12pm. Go home and work or unwind for an hour or two. Wake up at 5:45am do dishes or other chores. 30 minutes fasted cardio closer to show time. Be on my way to work by 7:30am. Work until 5-5:30pm. Get home around 6:00 - 6:30 and repeat.

    I drove one of my sons to school 3 days per week. Serve at church every Sunday for about 4-6 hours. Usually some event or errands on Saturday plus a gym day depending on where I am in training. I also run my own business with 8 full-time employees.

    Hope that helps!

    My diet is pretty simple. I hit my macros across 4-5 meals. Macros depend on where I am in dieting.

    Maintenance for me right now would be 225g carbs, 229g protein, and 70g fat.

    Towards he end of show prep I was at 230g protein, 40g carbs and 40g fat.

    Food choices are anything that fits with he majority being whole foods. This isn't a complete list, but what I turn to he most.

    Proteins - Chicken thigh, chicken breast, chicken sausage, ground turkey, lean cuts of beef, whey protein

    Carbs - potatoes, yams, whole grain or gluten free pasta, quinoa, whole grain bread, tortilla wraps,

    Condiments - hot sauce, lower sugar BBQ sauce, salsa, mustard

    Fats - cheese, peanut butter, nuts, animal fats

    Other items mostly pre and post workout workouts and non-show times: beef jerky, cupcakes, ice cream, chocolate,

    Don't count green fibrous veggies, so you won't see them in my logs :)

    Open for any questions. Eating doesn't have to be boring, but it can be :)
