Yeah, unfortunately I drink a lot of astronaut food. I, like you I think, can't seem to eat solid foods for breakfast. I need to break this habit.

Man, I have that same problem. I hate it... I usually do whey, glutamine, and creatine in the morning and don't eat for about an hour or two afterwards. Good job on your lifts tho. Looks good, nice CG Bench weight.

You can't go wrong with oats at breakfast. Mix in some protein powder and/or cook something involving eggs for protein and you're set.

I was (as in up to Dec 1'ish) drinking 1 cup of oats, one banana, and 3 scoops of ON Whey as a breakfast - while bulking I added some ANPB.

I just got off track mentally and need to regroup - doing that on the 25th. I'm going to NYC w/ my wife for a little getaway. Never been there before. I plan a total rededication to work and diet. Training has slipped as is evident from my log but at the very least I have been in the gym trying.

I found out that there are about 20 lifters from WF coming tomorrow - From what I understand it is the Texas qualifier for the Arnolds. And the camera is ready.

That sounds like fun! I wish I could go too to see that competition. And don't worry about the mishaps in the gym... You will definitely bounce back bigger and better than before! You're one of the few lifters on here that KNOW what they are doing. Hope to see some of your new numbers when you get back on track! Have fun in New York!

So I went to the comp yesterday morn for a couple hours - forgot camera of course. Got to see some 12-16yr olds Snatch and then watch Glenn Pendlays 5yr old Clean and Jerk 13 kilos. He grunts on the clean and grunts onthe jerk - his dad is smiling from ear to ear - it was very neat. WF is a breeding groud for future Olympians.

There was a 16yr old that was being introduced as the top 16yr old in the country in his weight class, he was out of Houston. He was easily snatching 135% his BW - real impressive.

Overall it was really fun. I didn't get to see the Men lift, and the lifter I hoped to see (Shankle) is already at the Olympic Training Center...Pendlay is turning out some machines. He had a 12 or 13 yr old that had tremendous strength from the floor. Another beast out of WF, Claleb Ward I think his name is, anyway he is a big kid - seeing a young guy all decked out in his Team USA warmups was pretty neat. Didn't get to see him lift but he is supposed to be the man.

I had a good time - never been before. My 8yr old was loving it as well but my 6yr old was not feeling it so I had to bug out, unfortunatly.
