Today was my second day back at the gym after a three year layoff. Lost a little strength but overall was happy with that part. My diet is horrible at the moment but making steps to get it up to par. I almost cried when I step on the scale and realized not only had I lost all the weight I had worked so hard to get but also lost 5lbs. more than when I had started. It was a real I opener. Kept it real easy so not to get to sore, I still have to go to work in the morning and use my body all day to make my living, been there, done that before.
First day a little chest and tri's , Second day a little back and bi's. Will start a accurate post beginning next week. Hopefully can make it in two more days this week, depending on child care situations. |

Couldn't get to the gym today, so I did some sissy squats at home and did some ab work. I hate legs, so I need to make some attemp to add them in. I'm gonna stick to my old routine as it worked well last time. It took me some time to fine tune it to my likeing.

Standing BB Curl: This one is very onorthodox but I found it to work well Set 1: Regular grip. 8 to 10 reps, up the weight for next set Set 2: 2 Fingers in from regular grip. 8 to 10 reps. Weight stay's the same for next set Set 3: 2 Fingers out from regular grip. 8 to 10 reps. Weight stay's the same for next set Set 4: Regular grip. 8 to 10 reps.

This is highly embarrassing for me, but if I'm gonna do this I mine as well do it right. I'm really letting my gaurd down so please take easy on me. When I weighed in on Monday I realized I had lost 35 lbs. in the last 3 yrs. of not lifting and a sh1tty diet so let this be a lesson to all of you that might not think diet is important.

Good luck Cellaratt!I suffer like mad with lack of appetite, once bulking, I could eat the house when dieting. I find 3 or 4 days low carbs and I’m ravenous for a day or two.

vit B will increase appetite but i havent heard anyone whose tried it orally and it working, so you`d need the injectable variety.
also as a fellow smoker i gotta say it aint helping youre appetite. on the plus side youre very lean so every pound of muscle you manage to aquire will show! +if youre diet was that shite you`d have a lil pot belly ______________________ einsteins mind was the key to all things...to understand more than to know.
