EAT! LIFT! sleep?
Bigal33 and yours truly are both moving toward 240 lbs. He’s attacking the weight from one direction and I’m waging my battle from the other direction. We’ve got the war going on two fronts.
I’m eating three thousand calories per day minimum, plus 200 or more grams of protein in that same time period.

This place is addictive isn’t it? You chart your day pretty well. I can’t commit to something like that! Awesome job and keep it up.

Why go to bed and toss and turn? Many years ago, I accepted that four to five hours of sleep a night would be the norm for me….Honestly, once I accepted that, I had no problems falling to and subsequently staying asleep. Good dreams my friend!
