So it's been 2 weeks and I finally hit the beginning of my 12 weeks working out
Had to change my diet to and athletes/lifters diet, it hurts when your meals consist of a whole chicken and you still need 4 protein shakes to make protein requirements for the day, I honestly have no idea how I'm going to afford what I'm doing at this point, I need 40 bucks in protein powder a week, 2-300 bucks in supplements a month, and about 60 bucks worth of meat a week, so I'm way over budget and have had to give up most of my other hobbies for now, it'll be easy once my pay goes back to normal next summer but things are going to be really tight til then apparently, hopefully I can find a second job either at GNC or bouncing in OC, MD this spring. I found out that my 24 week mark falls on my B-day so I'm aiming for less then 10% body fat and 220-230lbs and hopefully starting to bulk for amateur bodybuilding.

Try more raw foods like nuts ect. look into how vegans get their protein it could help with cost. Also consider buying bulk as opposed to just small amounts (think BJ'S, Sam's Club, Costco ect )

I'm cutting most my suppliments out and switching to a body builders diet, I do plan on going bulk but won't be cutting out meat, and nuts to get the same amount of protein would cost much more then the meat itself. Also going to be switching my workout plans to a high intensity high weight sets so it should be a fun time minus the body builder diet which is honestly going to suck lol
