 Alright guys, what is going on? It's Jacob here and we are back in this exact spot and it's eight weeks out. Today's date is Saturday the 16th of July 2016. The last time I checked in was at the nine weeks out mark which was the ninth of July and I weighed in at 198.6 pounds I do believe. Now before I get into anything my macros training how things are going which I will delve into I'm gonna get away in so let's do that now. So 197.2 pounds I don't know what that is in KGs it's it's around about 89 kilograms I do believe but without further ado let's get into the the macros because as you guys know or if you don't know I got to the point I got my physique to the point of nine weeks out without tracking a single thing not one calorie was was tracked if anything I did have in the back of my mind you know a total protein amount that that is one figure I do try and keep consistent but as far as carbs and fats meal timing you know how many meals I was having per day it was all guesswork and I pretty much you know stuck to the clean eating principles although I do include you know bad food in my diet but it got me where I was so at that point last week at nine weeks out I realized that if I want to continue dieting down if I want to you know get leaner get into contest shape I've got absolutely no choice but to bring out my smartphone again and start using my fitness power so that's exactly what I did and every single thing I'm happy to say every single thing I put into my mouth whether that be a drink or food I counted I counted my strength training sessions as you know calories burnt I counted cardio sessions as calories burnt and do believe last week I put my my macros for this coming week that's just gone at around about 250 protein 250 carb and like 70 grams of fat now let's get into it okay so the numbers I did actually stick to guys I stuck to 240 grams of protein a day on average the numbers on any particular day could could go up and down but as far as averages go I've taken all the numbers from the seven days in all the different categories average them out and here they are so for the week from July the 9th to July the 16th I had 240 grams of protein a day I had 311 grams of carbs a day and I had 72 grams of fat a day so if anything my protein was slightly lower than what I wanted my fat was was pretty much on point and my carbs was slightly high so if anything going into this next week I'm going to continue keeping protein around about that 240 to 250 mark fat is going to still remain at about 70 grams and carbs I'm going to attempt to bring back down to that you know 250 like I mentioned before so with all that being said that is an average of 2852 calories per day now I trained with weights every single day so what I did on my fitness pile I put that in as a 250 calorie session so every single day I'd be taking 250 calories off that 2850 so it brings me back down to 2600 so you know it's it's more so around that 2500 that I wanted as well as that I did two 500 calorie cardio sessions now last week I told you guys I was gonna aim for five that didn't happen you know work got in the way etc I put all my effort into weight training and then after weight training I just literally can't be fucked doing cardio I do realize that you know come eight weeks out like it is today if I'm gonna dial it in if I'm gonna do well in this show you know cardio is gonna need to become more of a necessity I'm actually heading to Thailand tomorrow and that's gonna be awesome I plan on you know keeping my diet in check I'm a little bit more serious about it this time going on holiday than I was last time back in New Zealand so I don't think it's gonna be a problem and I also am planning on using it as a chance to do heaps of cardio so I'm you know I'm planning on walking a lot of places I'll most probably be burning at least 4,000 calories a day so if I continue to you know stay anywhere under 3,000 calories a day while I'm in Thailand while I'm doing all this walking and activities and stuff I think I'll come back even leaner and you know continue on on my journey so this is how things are going so far one weekend to tracking but I am feeling I'm feeling really confident I I put up a physique update a couple of days ago which you guys will see and that is that 10% body fat I I put up to one was in my bedroom with some natural light coming from this side I actually got a little bit washed out and I wasn't happy with that so then what I did I did another video right here updating you guys again at what I think 10% body fat is and that is that was yesterday so that's where I'm sitting if you want to go check out what my physique looks like at this point go back to the video I put up yesterday that is 10% body fat what I think it looks like in good lighting so yeah that's it guys quick update I'm actually just home from lunch working right up until I go on holiday I'm fucking I leave at 5 30 tomorrow night and I'm working up until 2 30 in the afternoon so tonight after work I'm going to get everything packed you know clean up my bedroom get shit sorted for Thailand which I can't wait for so until then guys until next time have a great day train hard just know that I will be training hard the fatigue factor hasn't set in yet I mean as you can see I was still on a decent amount of calories but I know that coming into the future it's it will certainly you know start happening I will be fatigued throughout the day and I'm not gonna lie about any of it you get a hundred percent transparency with this channel 100% honesty I want to bring you guys along for the ride once again and I will be you know having some real talk along the way so I look forward to it until then have a great day I'll see you the next one peace
