  • If you keep the candy bars, only consume those in the morning or after workout. After sleep, you need a fast digesting carb to prevent your body retrieving energy from protein sources (your muscles) because you just fasted for 7-8 hours.

  • Psychosocial by Slipknot always is my go to song for that tough lift.
  • It's perfectly normal to have weight fluctuations throughout the week, even day by day. It's important to weigh yourself in the same clothes and at the same time. The best time is in the morning.
