I've had a good day so far.  I slept in until 11 and woke up and had breakfast #1:

Dan Active L Casei Immunitas
42 gram protein shot
1 banana

1 hour later at 1200 pm, I had breakfast #2:

Oatmeal, wheat germ, 1 scoop of protein, cinnamon, instant coffee, banana, blueberries, blackberries, soy milk


I had a really good arm workout (bicep, tricep) workout yesterday, and even more exciting than that was that I weighed in at 220 lbs!!!!  I was so excited about that.  As I've mentioned before in some of my earlier posts, I would rather be bigger than super cut.  I think part of that stems from being very very skinny growing up.  When I was 17 yrs old, I was the same height (6'2") and 175 lbs.  That's a 45 lb difference to what I am today!  In fact, I was so skinny as a freshman in high school that the Seniors called me 'Olive Oil,' a reference not to actual olive oil, but to popeye's wife!  I guess I have the last laugh though, as I resemble more popeye than olive oil now!  The reason I bring this up is that I wasn't always built like this, it wasn't just God-given, it was self-willed, and it should show you that you yourself can change your physique, whether it is losing weight or gaining muscle.
