Before Pictures and Progress

So I am a little late on sharing my before pictures as I had said I would. l did get them uploaded to the contest on Tuesday as planned, I just didn't get them posted on here. So without further ado here they are.

As you can see I have some fat to burn off but that is what this is all about. Getting myself into better shape and more aesthetically pleasing, for myself.
Today is day 5 of the 1-2-3 Lean program that I am following right now. The workouts are kicking my butt which is good. The program is a constant moving, constant working program. That means from the time I start to the time I finish which is about an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes, I am doing nothing but sweating my butt off while doing cardio and weight lifting. This program has my whole body sore but I know it is for a good thing. It doesn't limit my daily activities just gives me a reminder that I am doing something about my fitness condition.
Exercise is half of the solution to the body fat. The other half is nutrition. You cannot expect to put crap in and get a diamond out. You have to put in quality to get quality results. I have been eating pretty clean and pretty lean. I am only eating whole grain foods which means no processed flours, sugars, or starches. I am eating a lot of fresh vegetables, lean proteins, and like I said whole grains. Sample of my daily diet is as follows:

Breakfast:
3-4 Eggs (omelet)
1/4 shredded fiesta cheese
2 slices turkey bacon
1/4 cup tomatoes
1/4 cup mixed peppers
1 TBSP Salsa
1/2 Cup Plain Quaker Oats

Snack:
1/4 cup Almonds
1/2 cup fresh or frozen fruit

Lunch:
2 Cups Leaf Lettuce
1 Cup Baby Spinach
1/4 Cup Tomato
1/2 Cucumber
1/2 Cup mixed peppers
2 TBSP Fat Free Dressing
6-8oz Grilled Chicken Breast
1-2 slices Whole grain bread

Snack:
1/2 cup frozen/fresh fruit
1/2 cucumber

Dinner:
Similar Salad as lunch normally no dressing

I am also taking Muscle Pharm Combat Protein Powder with Muscle Pharm Assault for pre-workout and Muscle Pharm Combat Protien Powder for post workout.

Right now my diet isn't as balanced as it should be but it is getting closer. I am shooting for 40% Protein, 40% Carbs, and 20% fats. Currently running 40% Protein, 30% Carbs and 30% Fats but I am still eating pretty healthy. The change of the percentages is slowly moving more toward optimal so I am going to keep going and get it done.

God Bless
