    12/26/13 Update

    December was a pretty rough month. I tried not tracking for a while and resumed taking creatine. About 12/15, I decided to do a mini-cut so I could do some six month lifting comparison photos (see below). I reduced my calorie intake to 1800-1900 calories and added back in 3-4 30-40 minute cardio sessions those two weeks. My body fat has remained in the 19-20% range, and I'm happy to announce that I'm up to 117.5 pounds. That's an increase of five pounds in three months and I'm happy with that.

    I'll continue trying to gain muscle mass through at least March of next year. It's been a slow process, but a rewarding one.

    Thank you ladies. I'm working my way back up to 2300 calories a day, and can't wait to see what 3-4 more pounds looks like. :flowerforyou:
