Oh yah? I'd put my lasagna and my seafood lasagna up against just about anyones...lol. Homie can cook. I just wish I could eat that stuff these days.

[daYDreAmErX]

I was hungry and yeah, it still fits my macros !! Woke up at 5, trained, worked... Now I need some food :D

[daYDreAmErX]

Hai guise I have a new goal :D Since I don't fit in small t-shirt for men (ya really) I bought a medium size but it's too large for me :) I hope I'm gonna fit in it by the end of the winter, I'd be really impressed lol

That's good.

I am thinking of eating normally next week..carbs, protein, fat. I feel like sheet. Workouts have gone to sheet. After yesterday I was so freakin' frustrated I just didn't know what to do. I'm still pissed...my shoulder hurts, and I feel like I'm in a fog. I'd bet money that I'm getting sick.

I hate not being able to lift.

Haven't had a seafood before. Sounds good though. Yeah same here, I miss it and don't all at the same time.


You'll get there Val!

No doubt!!!

[homelifter]

Today's diet

8 oz Chicken breast, 1 cups spinach, 1 oz sharp cheddar. This is so quick and easy to prepair. I bought the Tyson Frozen grilled chicken breast strips, some frozen spinach, and a bag of shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Throw all of these together in a bowl and pop into the freezer. It tastes great to boot. I'm going to make a bunch of these up for this week. I'm also going to try adding some eggs to this and see how it works for breakfast. I've been looking for ways to get more veggies...this might be the answer.

I also brought along 1 lb of Sliced turkey breast and 3 low carb wraps. I'm going to eat these throughout the day today.

I'll also have a couple protein shakes with water.

[daYDreAmErX]

What about my shirt ?! :p

[homelifter]

What about my shirt ?! :p

Shirt?? What Shirt??


I'm sure it will get there this week..lol. GO CUBS GO!

Holy s!@#! That was a good smith press. Great workout, and the lasangna is making me hungry. Keep it up.

[homelifter]

Nice new Avatar too Val...that is a great picture of you.

[Bonebrake]

Sorry to hear about the shoulder injury Homes. Although, with the way you have been lifting this "forced week off" is a perfect time for a deload. Enjoy the time off instead of being stressed and anxious to lift again. Take a nap here and there and enjoy the extra growth hormone. :)

[Mango]

That blows your hurt your shoulder, buddy!! :(

Yah, I know...but lifting keeps me on an even keel. My mood suffers greatly when I am not lifting on a regular basis. Any time I know I'm going to miss workouts I start to worry...and it doesn't take long for me to feel the affects of not working out. That is one reason I am so meticulous when it comes to getting my workouts scheduled and completed.

[homelifter]

That blows your hurt your shoulder, buddy!! :(

I know....I'll deal with it one way or another. I will give it another shot on Friday night. At least it is my left shoulder. I can still play volleyball and basketball since I am right handed.

That deff. does suck. Iv'e never had a shoulder injury before, but I here that they put you out of commission for months. Were you doin rotator cuff work before the injury occured?

Yes, I do rotator cuff work on a regular basis. I am going to do more in the future...but I'm not so sure that this injury has anything to do with my rotator cuff. I think it is something else entirely.

Can you raise your arm over your head. What does it feel like when you do shoulder work. Pain?

Busy busy, but I'm taking it easy tonight :)

Still digesting that lasagna :p

Man, I'm way behind! Nice work everyone.

A well deserved rest tonight I'm sure. Good night Val.

[homelifter]

2 hours of volleyball tonight was a pretty good workout. I played pretty good, but my team wasn't clicking. We went 3 for 6, but I can't complain too much...all I was looking for was to get a good sweat going and to hit the ball hard. My back didn't feel too bad...just a little tight.

I made my breakfasts and lunches for the next week, or at least most of it.

Breakfasts will be 8 eggs and 1 oz of cheese.

Lunches with be grilled chicken breast with broccoli and cheese...that is what I made for dinner tonight too.

It didn't take very long to make any of these meals either. I should be set for a while. It feels good to get everything set and ready to go.

[JHICKS3301]

Checkin in on you guys!!!

[Ogre the Clown]

WOW!!!
Geez, a guy takes a couple of days away from the computer and there's like a thousand pages to catch up on! Great going HL and DDX! Its cool to see the online motivation!

HL, does your wing hurt when pressing rather than with abduction? The pain will be in the joint itself and possibly medially to the clavicle. If so you may have labral inflammation or possibly a tear. Best thing for joint pain is rest and NSAIDs. (ie Motrin) At your size 600 mg 6-8 hours apart. (Or PRN) Use the NSAIDs only as long as you need to. They chew on your liver if used really long term. Steer clear of flyes and do light db presses for reps. And as usual... Hit all the angles.

I have a small labral tear and I find myself doing dbs almost exclusively. For some reason they don't irritate the shoulder like the bar does. Go figure! Good luck!

DDX the back looks DYNOMITE! ( Jimmie Walker style) Awesome shrugs too!

Night all!

[daYDreAmErX]

I had a hard time waking up this morning, I'm getting ready to go to the gym :)

I didn't get to bed early....no AC in the house I'm watching. It took forever to fall asleep. Looks like nap time on the train ride to work.

[daYDreAmErX]

I don't feel like training my legs this morning :(

[homelifter]

That doesn't sound like you..you are tired. Hope you can get some motivation...you always seem to.

Morning guise :D

I finally got a good workout in this morning... I replaced my ATG squat by a complex consisting of hang cleans + front squat and BOOM ! It went really fine and I felt really strong !!!

I'm really hungry, cooking my basmati rice and chicken breast as I'm writing :) Food FTW !!

Will try to write a little more later...

Cheers !

Val

[bigDADDY205]

Does anybody really like training legs? It's an acquired taste, but one I'm starting to develop finally. Go after it, Val. Jon, hope the shoulder is feeling better.

[homelifter]

There you go again..getting all kinds of PR's. Your hanging cleans and front squat combo sounds interesting. I liked the 22 rep leg presses too! Great job Val.

Thanks big ! Finally, it wasn't that bad :)

Yeah, this complex is definitively my favorite. It really burned me out... Of course I did like 10 sets or so lol so that might explain why :D But I have two days off coming so I guess I'll have the time to cool-down a bit !

I'd like to see how you do that..so if you have a chance, could you get a video sometime? No rush...not like I'm lifting this week.

Sometimes you just know when you are hitting a muscle just right...that is probably how your hanging cleans/front squat complex felt. Great job Val!!!

x2, I like that idea of cleans/front squats. Problem is I think I can front squat way more than I clean. But today is leg day....We'll give it a shot.

I can front squat more, but with crossez-arms... I think it's harden with a clean grip !

[homelifter]

I've tried front squats with a cross grip and a clean grip. A clean grip kills my wrists to the point where I can't concentrate on what I'm doing. I have to use a cross grip.

[daYDreAmErX]

I'm eating but it's not really good lol I didn't wanna wait everything to be ready I was too hungry :p

[homelifter]

I'm eating but it's not really good lol I didn't wanna wait everything to be ready I was too hungry :p

Crunchy rice...undercooked chicken..its all good. :p

That is one reason I make just about everything ahead of time...5 minutes in the microwave and it's meal time.

The grilled chicken breast with spinach and cheese is a very good meal..and it heats up well. I put a little garlic salt on it too..before I freeze it. You could probably put a little rice in there and it would fit into your diet. Just an idea for those times you just don't want to cook, or you don't want to wait.

[daYDreAmErX]

Basmati rice is better when "fresh" and I wanted to cook my chicken brest in a pan and not in the oven, that's why it wasn't pre-cooked.

How often do you see yourself doing refeeds while on your current diet Val? Is it when you feel like it, or scheduled. I struggle to bring myself to refeed...I feel so guilty..lol. Even when I plan to refeed....I often don't...or I just eat more protein and veggies than I normally would. That might be the reason I haven't really felt well for the last couple of weeks. How often do you think I should refeed? What do you use a gauge for when you refeed?

I try to slam down pre-workout (not a lot, only 15-20g), post-workout (around 50-60g) and the rest comes from veggies and nuts...

I refeed when I feel I need it but I found that the last meal of every 3rd day is a good time for me.

nice PR's Val!!
Can you explain to me how you do hang clean/front squat combo..A hang clean includes a front squat(as part of the movement). Here is a picture:

A hang clean doesn't necessarily include the front squat part... Look some other videos and animations and you'll see.

[FATHER FLEX]

Killed yourself on those leg press eh! Heavy and then you empty the tank!

Awesome, but freaking ouch. :D

[bigDADDY205]

x2, you can take a bar from the rack and use the traps and a bit of a leg bend to get it up. I tried one today, would have added them in if my little one hadn't decided to forgo her nap this afternoon. Maybe tonight!

[homelifter]

Getting ready for Volleyball tonight...should be fun. My diet today has been perfect, so I can't complain there.

I am hoping to be ready to lift on Friday night...I really need to get back at it. I hate taking time off, but you have to do what you have to do.

[daYDreAmErX]

Thanks man, always great to have your comments here !

[homelifter]

Volleyball went good tonight even though we lost all 3 games. Scores were 25/19, 25/21, and 25/23 against a really good team with 3 solid guy hitters and 2 of 3 women who could also hit well. I played great, hit the ball well, and had quite a few blocks. It was great workout and physically, I felt better. Basketball tomorrow, and Volleyball on Thursday. I feel like I'm getting in better shape. Man was I jumping tonight...I got some good comments from the team we played...which meant a lot coming for such good players. Most of them played college volleyball.

I'm a little wound up and it is hot, so I don't know if I'll be sleeping any time soon.

[daYDreAmErX]

Did 20 minutes of cardio this morning, I had a good sweat :) 258 cals burned.

Gotta agree with on !! It's sad, but true.


Good work Val. Do you think your cardio has been helping you with your overall recovery?

It helps a lot and it gives me the opportunity to eat a little more if my body feels like it.

[SexyBack]

Hi Guys! How are things going? I haven't been around much but I hope you guys are still kicking butt and doing great as always! Hopefully after the wedding I'll be able to commit more time for lurking!

btw, love the new avi Val!

Hope you can have a relaxing night Val. I'm sure you are drained.

[homelifter]

Basketball starts in about an hour, so I am out the door in a couple minutes...I always like to get a good warm up before I start.

[homelifter]

Well, you can't bring your A game every night...didn't play very well...didn't have much energy, but I guess I could expect that. I got a great workout in and that is all I care about right now anyway. I'm not going to eat anything post workout...just not hungry and I feel the fat burning away.

Volleyball tomorrow night, so my activity level will stay pretty high. I am looking forward to Friday and having my kids...getting a workout in...and having fun with them over the weekend.

I need to spend some one on one time with my oldest boy. He is really having a hard time right now in school. We are going to get him some help, but with all he's been through over the last couple of years, and especially with my ex moving them away, he is just having a hard time adapting to all the changes. It weighs heavily on my heart that he is stuggling so much, and that I can't be there on a daily basis for him.

I am going to take my kids to an apple orchard to pick some apples, then I'm hoping to bring them home and have them help me make a home made apple pie. We are going to a bonfire on Saturday night too...I already picked up the s'mores stuff.

My youngest boy's birthday is next week..so I need to do something special for him this weekend too. It will be a busy weekend, but I will make sure I have some special one on one time with each of my kids...and a little more for my oldest.

[MesoPeaks]

Enjoy your time with your kids..It's really good once in a while..

Less hungry I think but still.. I've been hungry a lot this week in general, especially around 9pm.

I've noticed with the increase in activity with volleyball and basketball, that I am hungrier earlier. I am often eating my lunch at 10:15-10:30 instead of 11:00. I am also waking up hungry in the middle of the night. Natty PB is a lifesaver for me there.

[CYTX]

Hey homie and val, I thought I would stop by and say hi.

homie I didn't know you liked the bball and vball, I love those. I got to play a little bball in college and I played on a club vball team too. Those are great sports and I love playing them. i have to figure out the pick up times at my gym. Every time I go they are finishing up so I just end up running on the treadmill.

I'm looking forward to reading up on y'alls log. Good luck and keep up the hard work.

I played basketball in college and only started playing volleyball a couple years ago. I am still learning a lot where volleyball is concerned. They are both pretty fun, but basketball is my first love as far as sports go...and still the most challenging. I am playing against guys that are a lot younger, but I am still able to more than hold my own. Last night just wasn't a good night...my head wasn't there...not to mention I was playing against a team with a 6-9 center and a 6-6 power forward. I had my hands full and absolutely no help. I had to play the whole game because our other big guy was a no-show..I was more than just a little frustrated. I'm having a problem with my right achilles, probably from my basketball shoes, and it starts to hurt as soon as I play. Really, all I'm looking for right now is some good cardio when I play...my team stinks..bad. I can keep us in most games myself...but as I get tired...we tend to get behind. I can't wait for this league to be over...I'll either switch leagues, find an open gym, or get on a better team for the next session. I'd like to play basketball at least 1 night per week all fall and winter.

Cool man, I had to lay off after a nice bout of jumpers knee which came from my running shoes. Now that I have those changed all is good. My worst experiance ever was guarding a 7' guy who use to play for the Bucks. He was older than me and we weighed the same but he hardly had to jump to out rebound me. At least he couldn't move me off the block. Small victories right.

Who was it that you played against? I used to play with Terry Porter during the summer...played for Portland and Coached the Bucks. I know some of the Bucks' players.

Not sure, big white guy probably in his 40's now. I love the NBA but I did not recognize him.

For real, there was a guy on my team that used to play for the Rockets as a 2 guard, he had the fastest release I have ever seen and never missed. I'm sure at the speed we were playing at it was like middle school to him.

My wife played at TCU here in Fort Worth so I'm hoping with our genetics we can produce a nice power forward. My daughter just turned 2 and she is already over 3 feet tall.

Tomorrow is pull day (and deadlift variation day...) and I can't wait to see how it goes !!! Mainly for two reasons :

1) Been off diet today so I'm gonna have a lot of energy tomorrow in the gym;

2) Last time I pulled heavy weight was almost two weks ago. I wanna see how the recovery/strength go that way. I'm sure it's gonna be fine !!!!

You and me both. I called in sick. I slept untill 10 am and I'm feeling a lot better.

Volleyball was ok last night. I was hitting the ball well, but the still lost our first match. We had to play another match right after and we won that, so we are still alive in the tournament and play again next Thursday. That will be the last Thursday for volleyball.

I went off diet last night too. 10 inferno buffalo wings, a steak sandwich, and some french fries. It isn't poutine...but it was good...lol.

I am going to lift today, probably this afternoon.

I had a terrible morning, a lot of work in the gym, a lot of messy work :eek: (yeah, toilet problem, yeah, the only one working was me...). Anyway, here I am !!! A survivor !!

I had a really good workout tho, my form was really good and strict on the sumo deadlifts. I could have gone heavier I think but I wanted to keep my form tight.

Wish you all a great weekend :)

[homelifter]

Great workout Val...especially for not feeling well this morning. Strong Rows, and Sumo's....very impressive.

LOL..at the Toilet issues this morning. I know you probably think it isn't funny, but from where I am...it is hillarious...sorry. Probably not as funny when you are standing in 4" of toilet water...LOL.

Do you play the middle or outside hitter most of the time?

[bigDADDY205]

Nice sesh, Val. How do those sumo deads compare to regulars?

[homelifter]

Do you play the middle or outside hitter most of the time?

Most of the time, I am an outside hitter...because we usually pass middle. If the team we play has a strong middle hitter, I'll hit middle and block. I hit equally well from the right, left, or middle.

[homelifter]

I didn't work out tonight...just spending time with my kids. I will work out tomorrow.

I'm still not feeling the best anyway, and I ended up sleeping most of the afternoon.

[daYDreAmErX]

Nice sesh, Val. How do those sumo deads compare to regulars?

Smaller ROM, better control of the weight, but a lot of pressure on the hips (of course !). I know I could go heavier and beat my regular deadlifts PR but I wanna keep my form as strict as possible.

[young and strong]

Damn Val, i didn't realise how strong your deadlifts and sumo's are.

Very impressive!!! (And surprising :D )

That's good! I've been trying to do that too, with squat specifically. When I did my 5x5 I was getting really heavy with it, but my form could have been a lot better I'm sure!

Have a great weekend peeps!! :D

Morning :)

I was a little tired in the gym this morning, my arms were sore and I just didn't wanna go train I guess :) But it went really fine, I felt strong on most of my lifts and I'm proud I made it.

I don't know why I see most guys at the gym using the HS Incline Press machine with little or no heavy weight... This machine is awesome and I usually see people using 25# plates on it. Weird.

Hang Clean & Press went fine, I didn't know I'd be able to do it with 95 lbs !!

Wish you all a good weekend !!!

[homelifter]

Great looking workout Val. I've used an incline machine like that. It comes pretty close to simulating db's.

How did you like the DB OH Tricep extensions? They are one of my favorites.

You are making such great gains..congrats on all the PR's. Hang clean and presses..impressive.

I fugred this machine could help since my inclines suck big time :p

DB OH Tricep Ext. used to be a stabple of my workout in the past... I like them, but I prefer skullcrushers.

I'm a fan of heang cleans, I wish my gym had some blocks instead of using pins in the squat rack...

My shoulder and back are still giving me problems, so I'm not going to push it too hard. I just don't want to lose too much strength while they heal. It did feel good to lift, and I am going to stay light for a while...untill I am pain free again.

I love having my kids with me when I work out. You can see my daughter enjoys it.

A quick week overview...

Diet hasn't been really good this week. I was hungry all the time and I ate a lot at night... I'd give myself a 4/10 for this week, which is awful.

But the extra calories paid off in the gym... I had PRs on every workout, it was awesome !! I think I just can't go under 2000 cals... I'll try to stick to 2000-2100/day and I'll keep doing a little cardio and see how it goes. 10/10 for the workouts this week :D

Don't beat yourself up about the diet Val. It is hard to keep your energy level up with your workouts, work, classes, and studying. Just try to eat clean as much as you can.

You did have great workouts this week! I'm looking forward to seeing more good things next week.

Time to take the kids to a bonfire...s'mores FTW. I just pulled a home made apple pie out of the oven too! I am so eating a piece of pie tonight!!!

Homewrecker, don't worry about the diet. If you are kickin butt in the gym it will all even out. I few extra calories won't hurt if they are helping your lifts.

I had a good weekend with my kids..just got back from dropping them off. I am looking forward to this next week. I have basketball on Wednesday and Volleyball on Thursday, but I'll lift on Monday and Tuesday, then Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

My diet was a little off this weekend, but still not too bad. I had a couple cheat meals, but I really needed them. I'll be strict for the next week.

I cooked two weeks of meals over the weekend..except for breakfasts which I'll make tomorrow night. Lots of chicken breast, venison, and veggies this week.

[daYDreAmErX]

I don't know if I'm gonna be able to keep up with the forum because - maybe some of you remember... I told you at the beginning of the summer that my best friend had only 6 months to live because of a stomach cancer. He's got like 2-3 weeks or so now...

Anyway, I'm totally drained right now, mentally and emotionally. I'm glad my semester is still going smooth and slow... I'll try to post my workout and I'll catch up with your journals in the future.

Now that I got used to warmup properly, I decided to start Max-OT. Workouts will be short and I have to be in the gym anyway on days I work there so it should be fine.

Thanks to all of you guise :o

Yeah... I just need to find a way to up my fiber intake. I eat a lot of spinach and lettuce but it's not enough. Right now, my fats are coming from cheese, almonds ans olive oil and I feel good and I'm never hungry.

I got some whole flax seeds this weekend, I just ground them up and put them in with my whey shake.

fiber - 7g

This really helps along with avocados to get my fats and fiber. I shoot for around 40g fiber per day.

My diet over the weekend was...not...so...good. I had a few cheat meals, but I think it will do me good in the long run.

This week, my diet will be right on. I have all my meals made..except for breakfast, which I'll make tonight.

This is what my meals will look like.

Breakfast-8 eggs, 1 oz Cheese
Snack-46 grams protein with water-BSN Syntha-6
Lunch-8 oz chicken breast or venison, 1.5 cups spinach, 1 oz cheese
Snack-46-70 grams protein with water-BSN Syntha-6
Dinner-8 oz Chicken or Turkey, 1 low carb wrap, 2 slices cheese, small salad
Post workout-2-3 scoops Torrent, 23 grams whey protein

Wednesday, I'll try to have 1 cup dry oats with either breakfast or dinner because I play basketball.

Thursday, I'm going to refeed...not sure what yet.

I've looked at the cut diet a little bit. My refeed with be mostly fat and protein from huge quantities of inferno buffalo wings. The place I play volleyball at on Thursdays has $.10 wings. For $3.00 I can get 30...and I'll be in heaven.

Rehab is going slow. My shoulder is feeling better every day, but my back is holding me up a little bit. It will just take time..I have plenty of time, so I'm not worried. I'll just do what I can do for now. I hate not being able to push hard on legs though.

I'm going to do some different shoulder work tonight to see if I can get some more improvements too. Then I need to do some total body work and get a really good pump going for some pics. I am so bloated today though..carbs over the weekend...that I doubt the pics will look good.

That sounds typical of shoulder rehab....slow. I'm glad that it does improve daily. I didn't know your back hurt too. :( I hope that gets better as well.

Just be careful tonight, but I'm sure you know what you're doing. Why take pics today? You could just wait a few days to let the water get out of you. Just a thought. Anyway, have a good one. I'm off to work.

Getting bigger and leaner every day big guy! http://forum.bodybuilding.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

Trust me...the look you'd see when there's man's work to be done is much scarier...really, really!

Thanks Bb. I don't think I'm gaining fat, or at least not much, and my muscle gains seem to be pretty good. I would like to get leaner, but my body is really fighting it right now. We'll see if I can lose 10-15 lbs of fat and gain some more muscle over the next 3 months.

[Bonebrake]

Will you make any diet changes to trim up? Or keep going with the low carb?

[homelifter]

Will you make any diet changes to trim up? Or keep going with the low carb?

I need to stay pretty low carb, or I gain weight. I'll stick with a pretty strict low carb diet for a while now. I'll carb up on baskeball days. Cheat meals will be things like buffalo wings..protein and fat. I'll take it month by month for now. I might throw in a week of lower cals here and there, but nothing too long. I don't want to lose muscle or strength.

Morning guise :D

I had a really good workout this morning. At first, I thought I'd be weak because I was feeling a little sluggished/tired, but it went fine.

The inclines went well, I was surprised by my strength on these. Only problem is I started feeling some pain in my right elbow on my last set and I think it affected my strength on the flat bench.

I decided to substitute de decline bench press by chest dips... Declines are sort of useless for a woman lol / the bench is always used by someone / I rarely have a spotter.

Short and sweet workout, it took me about 40 minutes to complete it, which is what I was shooting for.

Have a nice day !

Val

Nice workout Day..

Val has become a PR machine lately!

Thanks Leah. I weighed in this morning and I sure wasn't prepaired for what the scale had to say.....279.6 lbs. I have no idea how I can eat what I eat and gain that kind of weight...seriously. Most days I am below maintenance. I can't really complain, because I look at what my fat level looked like before and what it looks like now...and I gained somewhere around 20 lbs of muscle in 3 months. I was at 255 in the starting pics...so my total gain is 24.6 lbs. The only thing I did was add some carbs for breakfast for a while..but even when doing the velocity diet...I seemed to grow. I have a feeling that the post workout carbs just turn my anabolic switch on big time.

[homelifter]

Great workout Val...PR's all over the place again. Do Flat bench next time and see how it goes.

On your chest dips..do you use a wider grip and lean forward a little to involve your chest more?

Solid work as always...keep it up.

No wider grip, but I really lean forward :) I was burned out at this point, and I did full ROM. Felt good !

I understand why it's recommended to use 25-30 degrees on inclines with Max-OT. The normal incline (45) wouldn't allow me to add enough weight to the bar. The low-incline really killed my chest (lol, funny to call it a chest).

Well, as long as you don't hurt yourself I say keep going. Keep the weight the same and try to really cut down the rest periods. You can get stronger that way and keep the weights moderate. Might help strengthen up the back for heavy pulling later.

That was what I was thinking. I can handle 225 really easy. The hardest part was getting warmed up. I did keep the rest periods pretty short and I really worked on speed and explosiveness on these. I might go up 20 lbs next time and see how it works. Just need some time to work out this issue with my back. I think it is between my ribs where the reall injury lies. Those doen't heal very fast.

I hear you. I pulled the muscles in the middle of my back in college. Did it on a hang clean. It took forever for things to feel right again.

I forgot to mention that when I weighed in this morning, I was down over 3 lbs. I'm still holding a lot of water and I'd expect more to come off by the end of the week. When my glycogen stores are full...I can carry a lot of extra water.

I did have a midnight snack last night. 1 low carb wrap with a couple tbsp of natty pb. I didn't have a post workout shake and sometimes I'll wake up hungry if I do that.

Todays Diet

8 eggs, 1 oz cheese, 1 sausage patty

I am going to skip basketball tonight and go to the gym and do 45 minutes on the Treadmill. Not fast cardio, but I'm going to try to get 300-500 cals. burned. I'm trying to get into ketosis for a while and I still have some glycogen to burn.

I start off most mornings with a diet Rockstar....actually two. On bad mornings, 2 XXL diet Rockstars...I have a serious caffine addiction.

I didn't go to the gym last night, but I did take a 20-30 minute walk when I got home. Just needed to strech my legs. There was no way I was going to make it to the gym with the way traffic was.

Tonight will be a little bit of a refeed...20 inferno buffalo wings. I'm looking forward to that. When I did the Atkins diet before, buffalo wings were a staple of my diet. I lost weight like crazy.

Hopefully, we'll have 3 matches for volleyball tonight. That would mean we made it to the championship game. I am a sub, but I've played a lot for this team...they are pretty good and very fun to play with. It will be a late night, but tomorrow is Friday and I can work dead tired for one day.

Great workout Val. You are doing great on your arm work. 70 lb bb curls...you rock.
