There are bagels and muffins in the kitchen...
My office is next to the kitchen....and I can literally smell the cheddar melting off those bagels. Normally I would have one...but it is Friday, and I like to indulge a little bit in the evening...can't do both. But man....I'm way tempted!

I haven't worked out in forever...
It's been a while since I had a good run at the gym. Haven't managed to put a decent run together. It's totally on me, I know, I have been making a lot of excuses. Sometimes, I know they are legitimate, but other times, I know I'm full of sh--. I really just need to get there and develop a good rhythm like I had before. I…

I tried taking my weight training up a notch and started the stronglifts 5x5 program. I only lasted 2 weeks. I have femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) in both my hips, and though I thought I could work through the pain, I just couldn't. There is just too much stress on my hips when doing squats and deadlifts. The main…

I only want 1 cup of milk. will mixing the shakes give me the intended results? And if so, would 1 cup of milk be enough for the protein and recovery mix contents (directions indicate 1…
