Well, all, change is inevidible, and now is the time!! Nelmjer and I are feeling a little sluggish in our training. I know a lot has to do with the training and ever-increasing weights, which we BOTH have truly enjoyed. Unfortunately, it is also related to crazy 84 hour work weeks. I have been sooooooo busy, and my posting (lack of) shows it.

I have decided to switch to some higher rep sets for about 1 month. I will be still be increasing weights each week, hopefully hitting failure in week 4. Hopefully, this will add some change and quickness to our training!!

Just wondering how the low carbs are treating you these days? Any mood swings or anything? I think you are carb cycling (forgive me if Im off)... if yes, how do you like that?

Overall, keep those cals up!! lol.. by the way, I had a plat. membership and I looked around your gallery...and I must say Im impressed. Im soooo jealous .. ur so cute and petite. I always liked that and wished - but my genetics say different LOL!!!

**HAPPY MONDAYYYY***

Well...I have had my ups as well as my downs on this carb cycling...I THINK I like it and I think I see results, though I have had A LOT of trouble trying to get my low carb days balanced to fit ME. I guess we learn as we go, and if we need to we change things up a bit we do. Lets just say, that I still have a lot of learning to go, but I will get it down, eventually!! heeehee

If I may ask, you did carb cycling right? IF so, what cycle worked best for you did you feel? Or are you still experimenting?

Thank you so much for the compliment Aries. I can not tell you how much that made me smile this morning and how much I truly needed that!! THANK YOU

THOUGH, I have to say...that you looked pretty hot at the contest!! I was so proud of you!!!

Hope you have a fabulous week aries and best of luck with your new log!! I am sooooo excited to follow it

Good Evening ck and Bun's!! Hope you both have a fabulous week!!

IP, do you eat regular old-fashioned oats, or the steel-cut variety?

The BF just bought steel-cut for the first time (because... that's what Jay Cutler eats... dork, I know). Anyway, I've never been exposed to them before. They look different, cook different, taste & smell different.

Honestly, I have NO CLUE which ones I eat. I wish I had a choice, but I don't. I eat what they give me at the cafeteria (which is most likely NOT the oatmeal of choice!!) heehee

Though I know that steel cut are the healthiest oats you can buy!! So way to go BF!!! EAT SOME FOR ME PLEASE!!!!

Thought I'd drop in and say hi to you too IP!

Cals are tiny. Is that a normal day? Are you cutting?

WOW, thanks for droppin in AB!!! What a wonderful surprise this morning. I am glad you decided to spread some love, venture out, try new things!!

Yes, I am cutting, like nelms. Those "tiny" cals where from an abnormally low, low carb day!!

Good luck with the new training schedule, I hope everything slows down just a bit for you!

Thanks ck, I hope it will provide some quickness back into our lifting!! I am so happy to see you back!!!

Hi IP!!! I just wanted to drop in and say hi to my biggest supporter on here. I hope everything goes well with this new workout. I am scared to try and carb cycle because I never know what I can get at the darn chow hall and knowing my luck there would be no veggies on low carb days and only fast food junk. Do you guys have one line for the main meal and one that is always fast food? We do and I get so disgusted when I see some of the guys go to the fast food line every single day and clog their arteries with all that nastiness. I promise to keep up on your journal more.

One question for you. Since you take sesapure, how do you like it? I am thinking about trying it but would really like to know what some people think of it before I do. I want it mostly for those days when I cheat horribly or is it more of an everyday thing?

I actually like it a lot!! I had some trouble with it at first. I was taking too much of it in a 24 hour period (for my bodies needs), and it was disposing of TOO many of my calories, thus giving me EXTREME migraines. Now that I have it under control though, I really enjoying it. I will notice it working the most after a cheat meal...I never really feel bloated or retain too much water the next day!! So, overall I am very happy with it!! Hopefully that makes sense and helps...

Hey JL!! Thanks for dropping in. It can be VERY tough out here to do any type of diet...you sometimes have to compromise and be flexible, but I do the best I can. Yes, we have a main-line, a fast food line and a salad bar...BUT, they just opened a "health room", which has got to be one of the best things that they have done out here as far as food goes!! It is fairly discusting to see what some of these guys eat, day in and day out - I can completely agree with you on that!! Makes me want to

You have me sold. Thanks for repsonding so quick. So do you take it before your cheat meal? Do you think I should take it everyday? Sorry for the 20 questions but I am really curious.

I will usually try and take it about 20-30 min before my meal!

I take it everyday, but I would just wait and see how your body responds and how sensitive you are to it. When I first started taking it, I couldn't take it unless I was eating HIGH CARBS!! Now, I generally do not have a problem taking it everyday! So, just play it by ear...

No need to apologize for the questions - questions are GREAT!! It makes us ALL learn!!
