Great to see another log! IB - you'll come back fast, having trained before and I'll watch with envy!

Great to see that you have started a Log!!

Good luck, I am sure that it will come back to you rather quickly. Just try not to get to frustrated at the begining! (though you know that already, I am sure)

Welcome

Wow....my body is making me pay for being away so long. It's hard to believe such low weights could make me hurt so damn bad!! Strangely though, as much as I am limping around, it still feels really good to be using my muscles again.

I always remember the phrase....MUSCLES HAVE MEMORY!!! You'll be right back where you were (hopefully surpass it) "with a quickness"!!!

Training - off day
Cardio - off day

Upper body muscles healing well, quads still very sore. Taking a couple of days off cardio to get them better (today and tomorrow are my off training day this week anyways.) Muscles already starting to puff out under the fat! I know they are all swollen from the new training trauma, but I am amazed that I can see them -must have held on to more muscle than I thought. I guess it was all that overfeeding (grin) .Still thinking (knowing) my cals are too low. Might have to (gulp) post statistics to get some unbiased advice. Will get hubby to do BF testing this weekend and let you guys know how bad it really is.

Notice to the guys out there - when I post my stats do not pick on me about my current adipose condition or I will pay you no attention when I'm a hottie again.
