Progress or Regress?
Every time I pass a mirror, I’m frustrated with my mini-bulk. I have gained 3 lbs. of the 5 lbs. that I want to gain, but I hate it. I feel so bloated and bulky. Not so good. Yet I will continue. My dad always said, "Never resist a temporary inconvenience if it results in a permanent improvement." So we’ll see. As an added aid to my bulk, I have given up on most of my cardio, except for weekend games of tag in the yard with my son. Yesterday was fun since I had just completed a gruesome leg workout. Boy was I slow! That’ll do your ego some good to get schooled in tag by a 6 year old! Luck of the draw, I guess.
Anyway, had a great leg workout yesterday. Taking today off, then back at it Tuesday. Hoping to finish off my weight gain soon so I can drop this extra fat. I guess I never realized how crappy 5 lbs can make one look. So, extra eggs, chicken, and fish for me. Maybe an extra cheat meal here and there since it’s getting cooler.
One other change that I have made is mixing my protein with skim milk instead of water. It makes it richer, sure, but I was looking mostly for extra calories. Maybe upgrade to 2% to get some added kick? Thoughts?
