As a consequence, I lost a 4 lbs. I’m now 108.  Man, being in the military sucks since mission makes it impossible to make consistant work outs. I hope civilian life will be better.

I did the regular ones. However, this week I will be using the recommended reps, and sets the program offers.

The closest one is 35 minutes away by bus. I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep my weight training consistent though. If I just do regular calisthenics and run 3 times, I’ll lost my hard earn weight and inflate back to 107 or far worse back to 102 lbs. Ewww, that is going to hurt me. It’ll be only for 2 weeks and from then we fly back to US. After the return, I know I can restart my weight training from scratch again.

I’m getting sick of Army life, and because of the constant move I will never reach my goal. (Who knows, we may run even more when going back to Ft. Bragg, that will definitely kill my mass gaining goal). I’m glad I’m ETSing or terminating my service in Feb 10, 2008.

It took two months for my weight to jump from 107 lbs to 112 lbs.  I weight was at 112 about 2 weeks ago and it seem to stay that way for while now. Will I be stuck at that weight or is this normal? Am I at a plateau or is it too early? When am going to make the jump in weight again?

Yes, I am eating six small meals a day. Your input is greatly appreciated.
