Ok, I said I would try to do a log so here we go. Im going to give a little background on myself. I'm turning 47 years old on February 2nd. I was at one time in what i would call decent physical shape in my late 20's. I really let myself go in my 40's and my weight got up to 366lbs. I'm 5' 9" tall. I decided in February of 2024 that I had to do something for my health. I joined a gym that a lifelong friend of mine owns here in town. Told him what i wanted to do and he told me about retatrutide and told me he really thought it would help me. I began lifting, changing my diet, and taking 2.5mg of retatrutide a week. I also took about 350mg of test per week. I was training 5-6 days a week, not really doing alot of cardio but i set a goal of getting 8,000 steps in every day and started keeping track of that. My diet consisted mainly of smoked chicken leg quarters from a local restaurant and 4 Premier protein shakes per day. The weight started coming off really fast. By March I was weighing 332lbs, April 320lbs, May 304lbs, June 282lbs, August 278lbs, September 273lbs, October I was 267lbs, and mid December I was at 263lbs. I didn't really watch my diet too closely through the holidays or really the entire month of December. I made up my mind towards the end of December that I really want to make a push to get the rest of the fat off. I know my diet needs work. I started a new cycle on Monday January 5 2026. I began this journey at 366lbs, I was wearing a size 46/30 pants and a 3XL shirt. I am now in a size 36/30 pants and a size XL shirt. My current stats at the beginning of January are:
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 266lbs (Down to 264lbs by today just getting rid of those nasty sugars I ate during the holidays)
I don't know my body comp but im going to guess mid 20's up to 30%
I am currently running 6mg retatrutide once per week, 4mg of Motts-C every 3 days, 225mg Test E every 3 days, 200mg Tren E every 3 days, Anavar 50mg per day (25mg about an hour before my workout and 25mg early evening)
I workout around 12:00 6 days per week. My Training is as follows:
Day 1: Chest-4 Sets 8-10 reps targeting failure on 8th rep Pec deck Flys, Incline Dumbell Press, 4 sets of incline pushups to failure and 4 sets of decline pushups to failure
Day 2: Back/Shoulders- 4 sets of Assisted wide grip pullups to failure or 4 sets of lat pulldowns 8-10 reps targeting failure on 8th rep, 4 sets of 8-10 dumbbell rows, 4 sets 8-10 seated rows, 4 sets 8-10 Military press, 4 sets 8-10 Dumbbell front raises, 4 Sets 8-10 dumbbell lateral raises
Day 3: Triceps- 4 sets 8-10 Skull crushers, 4 Sets 8-10 Kickbacks, 4 Sets 8-10 One arm Cable extensions, 4 sets 8-10 rope pulldowns with a burnout set added to the cable lifts
Day 4: Biceps- 4 Sets 8-10 Standing EZ bar Curls, 4 sets 8-10 incline dumbbell curls, 4 sets 8-10 hammer curls, 4 sets 8-10 ez bar cable curls with a burnout set added, 4 sets 8-10 spider curls
Day 5 legs-4 sets 8-10 Squats or hack squats, 4 sets 8-10 leg extensions, 4 sets 8-10 straight leg deadlifts, 4 sets 8-10 let curls
My diet, due to my work schedule, its necessary for me to try to cook one time per week and meal prep for the whole week. My go to is a pot of chicken and rice with some other ingredients thrown in. I use 3lbs of boneless/skinless chicken breast, 3 cups of uncooked rice, 2 cans black beans, 1 can cream of chicken soup, 2 cans rotel tomatoes, 1 block of cream cheese and some seasonings. Ive never really kept up with the macros but I sat down and figured them to the best of my ability this morning for this log. Per meal I'm estimating that it is 750 calories, 40g protein, 84g carbs, 13g of fat. My protein shakes are 160 calories 3 g fat, 4 g carb, and 30g protein. On a typical day I drink a protein shake for breakfast, another around 10am, eat my chicken/rice meal immediately after my workout which usually is around 1:30 pm. Drink another shake around 3:00pm, and drink another shake around 5:00 pm right before I leave work. I try not to eat anything else the rest of the day. I have been drinking water only since the firs of the year.
My cardio, I don't have a cardio routine as of now, I made my goal this year to get 12,000 steps per day and so far I have averaged 12,647 steps per day.
I can already see how this log is going to help motivate me and help me look closer at my diet. I admittedly don't know alot about dieting and nutrition so i cant wait for you guys to help me put this all together and get my body comp where I want it to be. Looking forward to this journey! I will attach a picture of me in February of 2025 and a picture of me in December of 2025 and try to get some better pictures as I progress!
