Week 5, Day 6

I missed the blog last night so I included this morning’s workout in today’s blog. I also ran out of protein this morning so I’m eating straight solid foods today. I have some ordered already and should arrive some time Monday. Oh, there’s something I could talk about quick. People always ask what protein or supplements I take and the truth is I buy the brand I like because it tastes good. I don’t know that it has any other real benefits over something you can buy in Walmart or something. The brand I buy is Dymatize and the protein is Elite Whey Protein. Its good stuff, really lean and all the flavors taste great. I normally only buy the Rick Chocolate though. I bring this up because I know supplements can get expensive which is really why I don’t get into too many supplements. STAY AWAY FROM YOUR GYM’S PRO-SHOP. Sure the products maybe good quality but if you take a little time and research online you can find the same products far cheaper. Plus, just because you see folks go in there and buy a shake and a power bar doesn’t make them any more in shape than someone who’s looking to do it for a better price. These pro-shops may have good folks behind the counter but it’s about making money.

Anyways, it’s 11 weeks away today and I’m feeling good. I plan to post pictures again of my progress at 8 weeks out. I will be in Hawaii during that time so I hope I can continue to make progress while I’m there.
I’m posting this blog entry early today because I work until 7 and I have an indoor game tonight at 9pm. So I’ll eat my last meal after that. I’ll be drinking a ton of water through out the day, like usual, but also PowerAde Zero during the game. It has no carbs, sugars, or proteins but is loaded with electrolytes so I feel like it really helps my energy levels.
