WOW - My internet was down ALL day at work yesterday, do to bad weather conditions...I really wasn't sure what to do with myself without EF all day!!

Mr. IP and I decided to take yesterday off from the gym. We were both pretty drained physically and I believe that it was a smart choice for us. We only have one more day left on our current program and then next week we will begin a new one as well as adding a little more cardio back into it.

I haven't set a date on when I will begin cutting, but I will definitely let you gals know when I do. For now, I will continue to keep my cals high while adding some light cardio back in.

I definitely feel for you in your bulking phase. I am not in a bulking phase, but due to life circumstances it's been hard to keep my cals down at my standard 1600.

It is so draining mentally to feel those pants getting tighter! Bet you can't wait to start cutting. I'm looking forward to doing it again before this possible comp...

Let us know when you begin. We definitely want to see your progress! Seems like you have a wonderful support system over there, lucky gal...

For some reason, I wasn’t feeling well and had a KILLER headache. The kind that makes you nauseous and your eyes hurt every time you move them…Major pressure issues going on. So…I ate a pretty hefty carb loaded meal for dinner, thinking that it might help the pain go away…it did for the most part, but I also went straight to bed (probably NOT the smartest thing to do after a meal like that but I was desperate!!)

GOOD MORNING GIRLS!!!!

Mermaid - I am doing much better today (still not 100%) but a ton better. Thank you so much for asking AND stopping in (heehe).

OK, I am now switching gears and have started a new SF 5x5.

Mr. IP and I still have some work to do on getting the new program together because of the quick change, so I'll provide more information on it within the next few days.

Today’s Workout:
Squat (all for 7 reps): 55/70/85/95/110
Bench (all for 7 reps): 45/50/60/70/78 – it felt so wonderful to be back on the bench!!
Power cleans (all for 7 reps): 45/45/50/60/68 - these felt SOOO good!!

Mr. IP and I REALLY enjoyed this workout. We're considering overhead squats on Wednesday, in place of the squats. We're also considering adding straight sets (no ramp up) of pullups on Wednesday.

We will be adding in a small amount of cardio in on 2-3 of the off days. I am very excited about adding in this cardio since I have now gained a little over TEN pounds over the past 3 months PLUS we head out on a 3-week vacation approximately March 1st. (ahhhhh)

2:10 PM
PWO Shake (1 scoop ON strawberry) mixed with creatine and Gatorade

4:00 PM
¼ cup tuna
1/5 cup onions
½ cup white potato (plain)
¼ cup spaghetti sauce

Ahh how to feel about that. Suck it up Or is that suck it in? Maybe invest in some comfy pants for the time period?

IMO, at this point in time the majority of that is still water, for the both of you, so try not to worry about and/or dwell on the scale weight too much ... if that is possible. I've been there ... I had my good days & bad days ... You can take comfort in the fact it is NOT fully 5 or 10 lbs of fat
