Comment: Today I was about to just give up the whole M&F challenge and just accept mediocracy.  The eating part has been VERY VERY difficult for me.  I have been doing well, but it has been hard with all of the planning that it requires just to eat.  Well four things happened that’s given me motivation to keep moving forward:
1. at the gym today i looked at my workout log and noticed that I have gotten stronger from week one on almost every exercise
2. i can start to see muscles develop that were not as noticeable before - especially when i have that pump from lifting
3. i got a comment from a good friend on BB.com who told me to keep my goal of making it as a finalist in the competition and getting my before and after picture in the magazine
4. at the YMCA (my new gym), a few kids walked by and said ‘big muscles’.  i know i don’t compare to most of you muscleoids on BB.com, but at that moment, i felt like i must be doing something right.

So to end the story - I went ahead and bought some cassein protein (for my pre-bedtime protein intake).  I can’t stand cottage cheese!!!
