Day 8: Tuesday, January 8th, 2011

Back to no food and it sort of sucked.  No true cravings but more wanted to chew something.  Although how I knew I was good on food was I sat with a bunch of people today while they ate their lunch and I drank my shake.  It smelled good but I was okay and didn't need it.

I weighed in today at 173 the exact same as yesterday.  I am sort of shocked because I really thought i would have put a little bit of weight because of eating regular food and that had to increase my calorie take to above normal for a regular day.  I am thinking I will drop below 170 by Tuesday, that will be the first time since 2007 in which I get horribly sick for a 4-5 day period.

Nice thing also was my workout today was the second time through it.  It was easier this time.  I had more energy but I still admit the food intake I had the day before the workout last time probably caused some problems.  But I am noticing strength going up and muscle is continuing to build.

Here was my workout:

Bent-over Barbell Row - 215x4, 215x4, 215x4, 215x4, 215x4, 215x5
Overhead Barbell Squat - 105x4, 115x4, 115x4, 115x4, 115x4, 115x5
Dips - 70x4, 70x4, 70x4, 70x4, 70x4, 70x5
Ab wheel rollout - 5, 5, 5, 5, 5

Here are today's pics:

Just wanted to say I am not flexing or sucking in my gut or anything when I take these pictures.  I am just relaxed.
