Hhmmmmmmmmm… Prowler, pictures, hard work… I may continue to read.
This whole PW thing is crazyness.
Good work so far, Catnip. :)[/quote]
Thank you! I am busting my butt and starting to see results! My log is actually in the Indigo Forums but you have to be on Indigo to comment so I am going to start double logging. [/quote]
I hate that for many reasons but Oh well, guess I better decided if I’m going to purchase Indigo or not. Some great logs there. It would help to talk to more peeps under Indigo to gauge if I would like to jump in to utilize it. I guess I’ll just keep lurking until I decide to pull the trigger.
whaddya think about the brain candy?
What a cute little baby! So happy in that picture… Great training and nice progress. Looking good!
Thanks for stopping in Viper and DS! He’s a happy guy! Only way I can get to the computer is if he’s in my lap. In fact… he’s sitting with me as I type this! 
Edgy- It’s pretty neat. It DEFINITELY gives you a jump start in the morning and keeps you focused through out the day. From reading everyone’s reviews I think it is doing different things for different people. I am already running short on sleep so at a minimum the Brain Candy has me acting normal again. I don’t plan to take it everyday. I am saving it for particularly busy days and leg and deadlift days! I took it for the second time this morning and now it is 4 o’clock and I feel very focused when normally I am dragging.
Friday- off
Saturday- Out late Friday night and then up NINE TIMES with the baby Friday Night. I was dragging and this workout sucked. Got a new PR but I was SHOT afterward doing very little. I must never underestimate the power of good sleep. It will come eventually but until then…

Good work in what I’ve caught up on. All my sister’s kids were the same way. So glad I can give them back after a night. Lol

Nutrition Update:
Everything is plugging along. I still do the clean style eating with 200 clean carbs a day and roughly 1800 calories. I was really amazed with how easy it was to go on vacation and stay in my diet parameters. I have been depending heavily on FINiBARs to fill in the gaps so that I get enough calories and carbs in. I am still drinking one scoop of Anaconda, one scoop of MAG-10 and one scoop of Surge during every workout. Just received a bottle of Se7en and I started adding that today. It will be interesting to see if it does anything for me.

It’s me! It’s me!! IMHO, not too bad for an old gray mare that just had her third baby and has been deadlifting for 10 weeks. Then again… I have the best trainer/coach EVER!
