Workout day today! I'll update later.

Do you just record calories by pen+paper or do you use some calorie tracking site like fitday.com?

I went ahead and purchased FitDay's computer software. I am VERY glad I did. Both my wife and I use it and find it very helpful.

How does the purchased version compare to the free online version?Is there many extra features or is it just the same?

If the paid version cooks everything after you've input the ingredients, I'll have a copy myself.

Speed and ease of use are probably the 2 largest factors. There are many more items in the database with the paid version. Not being tied to the internet and waiting on searches and items to pop up was enough for me to pay. You can also look at things by meal, instead of by day.

If you have specific questions (Will it do "xyz"?), let me know.

That's in the deluxe version, bro.


Okay, today's workout was 10 sets of 4 on incline press and bent rows, both at 205 lbs. Strained for my last 2 sets of incline on the last rep, but not bad. Bent rows were done with supinated grip, which took a lot of stress off the elbows and felt better.

After the last set of rows, I power cleaned the 205 and then jerked it, which is the first time I've done the jerk. It was ugly, but it went up and locked out just fine. It was immensely fun, so I'll have to keep playing with it. It kind of makes me frustrated that I was never exposed to Olympic lifting at a younger age...

Sorry, I have to pull a page from AnotherButter's journal. He reminded me that I set a bodyweight PR as well, today... 206.6 lbs. About 4 more to go, and then I want to keep it there for a month or two before I cut down. We'll see how it goes!

I've found that to be true for me too.

Nice work. I also want to get to 210 (I'm 5-11). Right now I barely have visible abs and only if I flex them and the lighting is right

That is EXACTLY where my bodyfat is right now, Jim. LOL!

Monday's calories were lower than I wanted them to be. Something is going wrong with my shakes. Yesterday, they made me very nauseous...enough that I sat down for 30 minutes to keep from vomiting both times I had a shake. I hope I'm not developing some allergy to whey or something. Who knows? Anyway, I cleaned my shaker today for almost 5 minutes, thinking maybe it was a bacteria or something that gave me mild food poisoning. I'll take the plunge and try again today, but if it happens again, I'm staying away from shakes for a week. It tore me up.

Anyway, calories:

It might well be something in your shaker. I ditched my shaker in preference for a 1.5 litre mineral water bottle for that reason. Every weekend, I chuck it and start a new one (same for the bottle that I actually drink water out of). It just takes a while to pour the shake down the narrow neck, that's all.
