Good job - now keep it up and don't disappoint yourself by making excuses of why you can't when you should be making excuses for why/how you can....

Today sucked ass. My car overheated and the back of the seat fell off. I just bought replaced the fucking cooling system. I hate today, however to my knowledge I have stuck to my diet and timing. I just had my shake that you guys hate and I will be eating at 8:15. I will have to wait until next week to get the malto/dextrose, etc. As for the 'excuses', I just don't think you understand how important it is for me to just drop something, that is to me more important, and eat.

Last night I had to combine my two meals because I had to go with the truck driver to my mechanic. Today I ate my pre-workout meal 30 minutes late because my mom was late picking me up. Other than that consistent.

DON'T COMBINE MEALS! eating to much at one time is just stored as fat. i would rather see you eat 1 meal and then be hungry for a bit. never eat to much at 1 sitting when cutting. serves no purpose besides putting on fat.

Hey listen- no matter what- stick with it. The biggest challenge of this whole nutrition thing is PREPARATION. Cook all of your food in advance; usually teice a week. 2 times a week is better because then you can't make excuses like you ran out of food. Pack each meal in a cooler every day. I always pack my breakfast lunch and 3rd meal the night before work.

And absolutely do not combine meals. 700 or 800 calories is absolutely way too many to consume at any meal- no matter what you are eating.

In regards to your overall diet, it looks pretty good. However, in addition to the previous comments made, I think some additional changes are necessary. You need to drop any carbs after 6pm if you are hoping to lose weight. You have 2+ meals with over 100 carbs after 6pm. I understand you are going to the gym later in the day, but you've already given your body plenty of carbs with the previous meals. Double your veggies at those meals in place of those carbs

Sonis has a training client that is doing a BBing show this Saturday. Let me tell you what happened to him, and yet he was still 110% focused., never missed a meal or a workout. I understand you're not doing a show, but it's the same concept I'm trying to convey.

About 6 weeks ago, he got a phone call at work from his neighbor saying that the sheriff was at his house to evict him. He runs home only to see the sheriff removing all of his things and placing them on the driveway. He asks WTF is going on. Turns out, his wife, who is 7 months pregnant, decided she wasn't going to pay the mortgage anymore. She also decided she wasn't going to make his car payment, either. The sheriff had been to their house 2 other times that week to tell them they were being foreclosed on, and she didn't even tell him. He had to move in with his parents while they find a place to live. Luckily his car didn't get repo'd but his house sure did.

While I understand that life throws you curve balls at times, if you prepare for them in advance you have a much better chance of staying on track.

I really don't understand how you guys do this, I'm having a hard time contemplating the 'eating first' mentality. I'm working on it.

It takes only 21 days to change a habit. So, you're already 3 days into it. In about 3 weeks, it's going to seem like 2nd nature to you. Keep in mind, this is a lifestyle change. So, because this is a huge change, it's going to just take discipline, commitment and a little preparation. :)

The smell of hard boiled egg is starting to give me dry heaves. Is there any other breakfast food that I might consider? Mainly, not eggs and quick prep time.

scramble them up then instead of hard boiling.

come on dude, put your pussy away just once. no joke, be a fucken man for once and do what needs to be done for fuck sake. i would eat dog shit if it would benefit me. this is the attitude you need to have. not sure what you dont understand. this is not easy. their are no shortcuts and you have to eat things that dont taste good. if you are not willing to do it then take up a different hobby such as chess or some shit.
