Well, I’ve been back from my Honeymoon for about two weeks now and I’ve had to get back in touch with reality. The nice thing about the all-inclusive Sandals Resorts is that you don’t have to think about a thing. I was able to eat all day long whenever I wanted as much as I wanted. One of my biggest problems here is that I don’t eat nearly enough times throughout the day. The main reason being of course I’m lazy to make all the meals I need to. But my goal is to get up to 235 pounds, so I know I’m going to have to learn to kick it up a notch and get my meals in.
Realistically, I’m going to have to cook a lot of portions at one time and divide them up. For years, I’ve watched my cousin Patrick (a personal trainer in Houston) cook all his meals for the week at one time. I didn’t quite understand at the time because I would rather eat fresh food than food that is reheated. But I understand now. People like Patrick, Joe Tong, Mike O’Hearn and Sherlyn Roy cook all these meals at one time because time is of the essence. If you have to eat at least 6 times a day, cooking 6 meals a day is too time consuming. Even cooking 4 meals. So they cook it all at one time and eat them quickly throughout the day.
So before the honeymoon, I was all about leaning out. Now I want to get bigger, but not a great deal fatter. So I’ll choose my meals carefully, train heavily, and get back on Creatine. I’m hoping to build up mass through January and then lean out for next summer. So let’s see how it goes!
