Evening Lifter BodyBlog

Since I last posted I was recovering from the GI bug from hell, and then my wife had surgery with post op complications.  Working out was replaced with triple duty with work, the house, and kids. I had another birthday and my 14th anniversary.  Luckily my wife is feeling better and I am able to get back to working out. I have been on 4 days this last week. Diet has improved getting the calories back up with 6 -7 meals per day where I had not been able to get enough calories in when all the chaos hit.  Feeling good.  Worked legs on call yesterday and so the call stat this am at 5 was a bit rough taking the stairs at the hospital, but feels good to be back. I am currently on week 16 of 20 of a 20 week workout for mass in  a recent M and F. I have liked it and have made good gains.

Take care!

I was left pretty flat after my GI bug last week  and had gone from a nighttime weight of 175 (First am weight of 171) to 165 in 24 hrs.  I gained back to 167 with all of the rehydration though then found out that my wife had to have surgery on Friday. The rest of the week went to work and then on call Thurs with few chances to eat well and only about 2 hrs out of 24 at home.  Then Friday had breakfast, clinic right until I took my wife to surgery and so missed my second am meal, lunch, and afternoon and eve meals until about 9pm.  Had only a few granola bars, milk, and an Oh Yeah MRP bar for the day.  Have not had a chance to eat well or work out since.  Weighed in at a depressing 162 this am after only one week of being off a bulking diet. Shows me what I have always known, I have an extremely fast metabolism.  Hope to get life back to normal soon.  Thanks for the support from friends and family will get back to normal soon. I had been so excited to break 170 on my march to 180.
