its going good. currently 13 stone 12, so a loss of 10 lbs in 19 days. given that about 5lbs was water weight post creatine, i make that the rough 2lb/week loss.

been doing lots of cardio, and one of my good friends who is awesome at mountain biking took me out saturday and sunday and made me work harder than i have in a long time ! plus i love mountain biking so its the perfect cardio training really.

i still have horrible love handles and back fat, but i can definitely see a marked improvement on front abdominal fat, and i have been really consistent with training and chopping and changing my routine lots, making my muscles hurt the day after (and my legs are ****ed ! cycling canes !)

still popping an eca as i wake up, before 45 minutes cardio in the gym hr bpm 140 - 160 4 times a week.

i do an eca even if i dont do cardio in the morning, in fact it really keeps me awake as I never get enough sleep and slowly becoming more and more insomnia-ridden.

i then goto work 930 - 530 and when i get back another eca before weight session 6 - 730.

this is perfect because the comedown from the eca targets me about 11 and it makes me tired.

i've also started taking citrulline malate from bulkpowders, really just to trial it out, i bought 100grams (roughly 2 - 3 weeks supply) and if its good may buy some more albeit it being a little pricey. It seems to have boosted my endurance slightly, i'm quite amazed i managed to get through the cycles at the weekend.

Diet wise, i'm trying to get a wide amino acid profile, the newest addition being that i have 6 egg whites added into my morning MRP shake, and 6 egg whites in my PWO. Other protein sources include:

Ham
Chicken
Beef
Tuna
Powders

I have also bought some dextrose (again, bulkpowders) for PWO, and eating fruit when i'm hungry (but not too much) inbetween meals.

i'm eating 5-6 meals a day, 2 - 3 being liquidised MRPs (just so much easier)

Lifts are a little dissappointing to be honest, and upsettingly could only do 6 reps of 100kgs on the bench yesterday. although my form is 100% strict now, slow chest touches, so i suppose that counts for something.

nicely motivated at the moment, and enjoying it lots.
