eating basically five times a day and lifting weights and taking in almost 100 grams of protein a day is starting to have an effect.
when i stepped on the scale this morning i was 131.0!!!! for the first time in 8 months i am back to weighing in the 130's.
and i am very happy about it. more muscle, more tissue and even more fat are all very helpful for me right now. it means i am getting stronger. that my intestines are adapting and working better despite my lack there of. i am building up a reserve. some extra.
we will see what the addition of starting jiu jitsu and riding my mnt bike will do. will i build more muscle or will i burn more calories than i can consume? back in 2008 when i started back at jj again i gained 5lbs of muscle in my first two months of going to class.
no matter what, i am happy in the fact that i am seemingly progressing. even if it is only in small steps. i still like it.

Whoo hoo!!! I think the goal is for you and I to at least try to weigh the same, if not having you outweigh me.
