Day 5: Tuesday, January 5th, 2011

Mmmmm ... bologna.  Yes that is what i was craving around 2:00 this afternoon.  A bologna sandwich wheat with ketchup.  Earlier it was fishsticks.  I posted it on Facebook and outside of the people hating on me, the one question was are you pregnant?  Actually it almost seems like it.  I am craving weird things.  Last time I was like this was 10 1/2 years ago at basic trianing where i craved things like my mom's tuna noodle casserole.  Now I understand that pregnant women are more hungry than a typical person and sharing stuff with the child causing the amount of usual needs and wants to be higher.

Nice part about today was no appetite really.  I was never truly starving like past days.  I actually felt full all day.  Even the shake i just drank was because I had to not because I wanted to.  I guess it took 5 days for my body to adjust to the lower rate of calories.

So I am leaned out already.  I am skinny guy who needs muscle now.  The workout today was good and hurt but worked well.  It focused on chest, triceps, biceps, upper back, shoulders and finally thighs.  So I am getting some leg workouts.  BUT ... I still can't figure out how my calves are going to be okay.  I am so used to cardio that they built themselves up.  I am almost tempted to add a quick calve exercise to the workout if they shrink.  But I got to trust the program and may not realize i am working them.

I did add an engery supplement today to my lift and that was a scoop of Jack3d.  It doesn't have much nutritional facts on it but it helped a lot compared to the past two workouts.

Let's see i weighed 175.5 this morning.  I have lost a total of 4.5 pounds since Saturday, NICE!  I think my natural weight will be 165 to 170 so lets see how close i get to that.
