I have absolutely NO energy today, very lethargic.

mother nature isn't due for another week......how long does it take to "add or grow muscle?"

... that is subjective... and there is no absolute answer... with consistency, effort, & dedication ... magnificent changes can occur in 12 weeks .. you will start seeing seem before that too ...

You body WILL adjust ... it make take a few weeks hun

Workout:

--AM Cardio - 20 min Windsor Pilates dvd

As I come out of the locker room headed towards the weight area I gazed upon the greatness that is an unoccupied STEPMILL........
I was drawn like a moth to a flame...........
I could hear it call out to me again.........
"Que....Que.....come to me......."
Alas, I was again overcome by the call of the tight cheek clan and managed to do 15 minutes at level 5 before I hit the weights.
Wore my a$$ out!

You put in a very solid week of training. I give you props on the diet, very strict and very detailed....nothing like my 'diet' lol...

As far as the bodyweight, DON'T worry about the scale numbers in the least. The body recompositions itself with exercise. The only thing you should judge by in terms of your body is what you see in the mirror.

Also, I see Simply Jiff in there.....I LOVE Simply Jiff, lol.

Thanks for the encouragement, it hasn't been easy but the support that I've received on this site has helped me tremendously.

As a kid our family would take PB & honey, mix it together and spread it on fresh baked bread. I always ate the banana separately but at the same time as the sandwich, I just never put it ON my sandwich.

I actually did that a few months ago before I restarted my dieting. Then I read it in your thread earlier and had a little chuckle. "Sin food."

You should try mashing up the banana and honey and spreading it on over the PB, then buttering the outside and doing it up like a grilled cheese.....this was one of Elvis' favorites, lol...

I used to eat them in high school all the time when I had trouble gaining weight, now I just break them out when I am stuck and can't gain weight any other way.
