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. ______________________ The little men who live behind my eyes and scream directly at my brain told me to tell you hello.

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. ______________________ The little men who live behind my eyes and scream directly at my brain told me to tell you hello.

I find 3 or 4 days low carbs and I’m ravenous for a day or two. ______________________ Better a Lion for a single day than a Mouse for a thousand years. |

| Illuminati | 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. www.englishmuscle.co.uk www.extremenutrition.co.uk |
