    thank you...

    I actually couldn't wait to get back to 185 so I can do the comparison. Now, I actually have ab definition at 200lbs the last time I was 200lbs. So when I get back to 200lbs if I can make it there. We can compare again...But that post comparing both 200lbs, will take awhile to post as I will be putting in work in the mean time.

    So we will see.......

    Fantastic! I need that ice cream! LOL! Amazing how those little treats can boost your morale so much.

    You're so right - the nutrition is the hardest part. I'm a cardio junkie, have been for years. Strength training... eh. Off and on at best. It really helped my running when I was serious about it. However, now I'm really pressed for time between 2+ hours a day commuting, work, school, and playing roller derby... but I am more focused on the nutrition aspect this time around. When I graduate and have more free time, I'll get back with the weights.

    What is your normal cardio routine?

    Cardio? What's cardio? J/k

    During my contest I did cardio 5x per week for about 30mins. After the contest I am in mass gaining mode so my cardio has been minimized to 2x per week at no more than 30mins per session. I can get away with it though. Layne has prescribed things that work for me and not necessarily anyone else. I know some guys who don't do cardio, those are the lucky ones...

    Prior to working with Layne I would kill myself with cardio. But forgot what it was like in high school and college, where the more muscle you carry the more you get to eat to maintain that mass and the faster your metabolism. This is an oversimplification but you get the idea.

    so for me cardio and lifting was never the issue. It was the nutrition. And planning all the meals. If you don't plan meals you end up just picking up some McDonalds or KFC on the way home from work (everyday for some people). And it's costly to eat out everyday... I mean oatmeal when bought at Costco works out to be less than $0.05 per serving.

    Nice work...So where's the before-before. Just kidding I don't have a before-before photo either. Just the one in the water with my son. Best to forget that part of myself.
