NEW YEARS RESOLUTION WEIGHT LOSS THREAD

[TAG UR IT]

Another 2 hours in the gym today. Burned 1507 calories yesterday (only 20 min cardio) and another 1387 calories today. Man...this stuff is kicking my BUTT.

Went to GNC today. Picked up some new whey protein. Now I'm taking whey before and after workouts and using the syntha 6 only as a between means and night time "snack."

Today was shoulder (week 3). Tomorrow? I think arms. Shoot...I don't remember anymore. but, I look forward to getting back in there!

Hopefully the timing of my training and yours will match up!

Yea, my shoulders are toning up really well...more so in the front I think than the back...I am starting to see all the individual heads...it is awesome! We most definitely will have to get together for another photo shoot...I wont get back from Afghanistan until Oct/Nov time frame though...when is your competition?

So, thought I'd post an updated back pic...I'm gonna have to have Bonnie teach me how to pose cuz I honestly have no idea how!! LOL!

Those traps are looking good! For the pose, put your thumb down your fingers and curl your wrists over and it will make your biceps contract a bit more.

Careful that you're not over training. You typically want to limit weight lifting time to 45-60 minutes.

Also, I avoid GNC like the plague. Get your gear from www.bodybuilding.com. Cheap prices and quick shipping.

. Thanks! And thanks for the tip too...I tried it right quick and it definitely made a difference!

BTW, I forgot to point out before I get that the sodas on top of the fridge are not mine!! LoL!! The Syntha 6 on top of the cabinet on the right are mine though!

Well, I've decided to try pulse carbing this week.

On workout days I'll have more carbs than non workout days (likely double if not a bit more). I also added about another 30grams of protein on workout days as well.

We'll see what happens.

I have no doubt that you'll be back in the groove and feeling great again!

I, on the other hand, is trying to overcome a sinus cold ! Oh what joy!
