today is both my day off and my calorie spike day with no calorie counting, which i think ive earned. tomorrow i start cutting calories back to 1540 for 2 weeks.

rob, the way my schedule and recovery seem to be going i wont be able to fit in all the workouts in 6 weeks. after the next 2 weeks should i just start eating at maintenance and keep going until i finish the workouts?

took lx, gte, ebol and 1 tsp almond butter before breakfast
breakfast was turkey bacon and 8 eggs
took lx, gte, ebol and 1 tsp almond butter before lunch
lunch was some eggs with a little cheese and french toast sticks with syrup
dinner was rice and chinese chicken
later ill take lx, gte, ebol and 1 tsp almond butter
snack will be 2 scoops trutein

Rob says milk this until it runs dry.

You've done this before, so you'll know all the signs Matt. Just know when to cut it. If you need any guidance, by all means let me know.

Believe you have "the number"... :)

Don't let it bother you Matt.

I flunked the SAT's (740 brother... AFTER I took the course to get my scores up :))

Standardized test means nothing. Nothing as in ZERO. You have something "most people" never will. They call it heart... and you can't buy it anywhere.

Don't you ever forget that Matt!!

There you go brother. When the tough times hit, just hang in for one more day. Sometimes, you'll be surprised how quickly things turn around! Others, it'll take longer but things WILL get better for you.

Why again?

Because you've got that certain something I spoke to above, that's why :)

Sounds like your life is going great right now, that's so refreshing to hear!

Glad for you man!

keep it up, and you'll probably kill the test, no use in getting worried over something like that, you're right :)

every day the dining halls serve bulk "scrambled" eggs (substitute), eggs with cheese, and egg whites which are pretty much just boiled in a giant pan. they taste terrible and its work to just force down the plain egg whites, even with salt and pepper. thats why i always wait in the omelet line to get the whole eggs.

long day, up early and for whatever reason the meds didnt pull me to sleep last night. I was tired but still hit the gym and had a good workout. my shoulder felt much better today but i had to stop doing lunges because my toe was killing me. its never been an issue before today.
i also went on a long walk with this girl today, probably close to 3 miles maybe more.

military press- 85x8, 85x8, 85x8, 85x1 + 75x3, 65x6

lunges- 35x8, 35x8, 35x1
leg sled, feet high on platform- 270x12, 270x12, 270x12

dips- 7, 5, 2, 2, 1 and slow negative

cable rows- 140x8, 140x8, 140x8, 140x7, 110x8

skipped abs because i was running late. ill be doing an insanity workout again on saturday and im sure that will cover it.
