I think with squat and dead, I am either there or damn close.

I didn’t post my last couple workouts. I will just say that I was sick and they were shitty. I lost so much weight, I think mostly due to carb depletion, and bottomed out at 177. Today I was back up to 186.

I am so pissed off with my stagnated weight. I think it’s because I’ve been sick so much this month, but I have no choice but to start logging food intake to make sure I am eating enough.

Cereal (shredded wheat and milk) 360
Gainer with milk (2340)
Subway sub (900)
chips (130)
cprotein +milk 290

By no means a clean diet, but I need to get the calories in.
