Hello Folks,
Yup been a while and its taken me a lot of courage to start writing a log. I have been off training since September 2012, I have been to the gym on and off over the past few years but have failed miserably. This was due to personal issues, work and some injuries sustained to the left knee and my right shoulder, yes I was weak and the drive had gone.
I am 2 years away from hitting the big 40 and want to get back into shape with some help and guidance from you guys. I am not going to go into the history too much but the basics are that I was around 105kg at the start of 2012 managed to get down to 87kg and was in good shape training 5 days on the weights with 30 minutes cardio each day followed by fasted cardio on the weekends. I have since put on weight standing at 105 kg and appox 35% bf.
I am going to start with posting my proposed diet and workout and will get some pictures up asap.
The reason I am posting in the competitive building forum is I want to get to a stage of competing, yes I am way passed the ideal age but I still want to give it a shot. I don't mind people having a dig for not succeeding in the past and the lack of commitment but now I am not doing this for my self alone, I am doing it for my kids as well. Any help is appreciated with the diet and the work out, I am ok with sticking to the diet and have been on the diet for the past month, the only variation I have made to the diet below is having the 2 cans of tuna in one meal opposed to 2 meals.
I haven't started the gym yet, I will be back in Monday and was hoping to get some advice throughout the log with some help tweaking the diet and training plans listed below. I have had brilliant advice on this site before and I am staying loyal to this site with the hope that I will get some expert advice again.
Thanks for reading thus far.

Like I mentioned above I can take criticism so please feel to rip the diet apart and the training plan only to have me correct my mistakes. In order for me to learn I will probably have to forget everything I think I know and start from the basics. Tell me what you guys need and I will get it.
Thanks for your help in advance.
