Its time for a change in my workout program. I`m taking the right supplements and protein. I am eating pretty decently, too. I just haven’t been able to make the gains I would like. My muscles are more solid and the veins are more pronounced which is awesome. I know it probably sounds stupid, but seeing the veins in my biceps show up in the mirror, really gives a great high. Anyway, its all coming together but I feel like I can make better gains with a new program. If anything it just makes sense to change up a workout program every few months. So, I have been looking for different workout programs that focus on gaininig muscle at a decent pace and every one I have talked to, and every article I have read brings me back to one program, which not only puts on slabs of lean muscle but helps with your overall strength too. "20 REP SQUAT program". Apparently, its a really tough program that you should only do for 6 -weeks, but in that time, I should see some great gains in muscle, if it doesn’t kill me first.   I am going to start it on Xmas Eve and see where it takes me. Wish me luck.

So, I`m getting to where I want to be slowly but surely. I am now down to 235.4lbs. I was a little worried that once I started using Muscle Milk that I would gain weight, but I`m actually losing which is cool. I don`t seem to be losing much muscle either which is even better. If anything I feel more solid. I`m going to do some measurements and weigh myself just before Xmas, which should be my final talley for the year, because I know I`ll gain some weight during Xmas and New Years, but I`ll hopefully keep it to a minimum. I`ll still be in the gym everyday except for Xmas, Boxing Day, and New Years Day when unfortunately the gym is closed. The beginning of next year is all about gaining some more lean mass, then burning a decent amount of bodyfat off for the Summer. I really want to be shirtless by May.

These last 3 weeks has not gone very well. I have gained weight instead of lost it and looked in the mirror today and did not like what I saw one bit. It is really frustrating. I think I need to re-evaluate what I am doing. This kind of proves to me that I can`t become complacent during the holidays and just working out and doing cardio isn`t enough. I need to stick to my diet during these times and all the time if I want to hit my goals. It just feels like I am literally starting all over again.  To come so far and then to screw up my progress in the span of 2 weeks makes me feel sick and pretty low. I was hoping to feel alot better for my birthday.
