Tried a new Pre-Workout today.
It was a free sample, included with a purchase from BB.com earlier this year.
TASTE: *****
Love the taste! I usually use C4. To be honest, I like this better.
SOLUBILITY: *****
It mixes really well, with no powdery residue. I used the suggested amount of water, and simply mixed it with a spoon.
NUTRITIONAL CONTENT: ****
A bit high in calories for my needs. 30 Calories and 7g of Carbs.
EFFECT: ****
I will give it four stars, only because energy drinks usually have no effect on my workouts. The only drink that so far seems to increase my strength is Amino 5.0 from Human Evolution, when I drink it during my workout.
PRICE:
No stars because I did not pay for this. I wouldn't be able to assess the price per serving.
OVERALL: *****
I give this five stars. I would use again, though a bit high on calories.

LOL hard at thatOriginally Posted by NoCarbsNoSugar
I am having a wonderful day.
Besides the nasty snow blizzard outside, here are some wonderful things worth barking about:
• below-poverty calories
- my body wanted more food... I told it to go find some fat to burn for fuel... it said "where"... I pointed to my waist... I haven't heard from it since
• going to see StarWars tonight - I think we'll do IMAX
And Star Wars in IMAX, who cares if the weather suxs.*Trying to stay sane and get back to avi status.

Star Wars was incredibly good!Originally Posted by phoenix4444
I did not like episode IV - watched it a couple weeks ago - the only episode I had seen prior to tonight.
This movie is the bomb!
I dragged myself to the theater, just for my kids.
I am really glad I did.
The best movie I've seen in a long time!

Christmas week finally caught up with me... went from 178 to 185.
It feels good to bring back some normalcy.
Looking forward to the new year and a new log.
I am also working on launching a blog. Now, that'll be interesting.

I wouldn't shut up about how good Star Wars was last night, so my wife went to see it tonight.
She wouldn't wanna go last night.
My turn to watch the little one, while she watches Tinker Bell.

Tinker Bell was great!
is there IMAX available at your local theatre?

This morning I sat down and wrote Ten Success Lessons I learned in 2015, after having lost 138 lbs.
I actually took the time to make a poster out of it. This may appear a bit geeky to some, but that's alright with me. I am quite excited and thankful with the results as this year comes to a close. I am also thankful to all who helped right here on BB.com!

Not wrong at all, in fact oh so right. Why is it that as we age we have to lose the wonder an life spark the young people have? We don't. Wallow in that feeling NoCarbs, it is the fountain of youthOriginally Posted by NoCarbsNoSugar
