Dumping a bar loaded with four plates on the rails is not embarrassing. Dumping less than 120 on the rails? Embarrassing. Ask me how I know this.
Nice quad, and the bruises mean you are really going after it!
Lol thanks kimba! You also weigh what one of my legs does!!! ha.
It was still a strike to the ego for me.

I’m gonna load a bar with four plates to squat and dump it and act pissed at myself. Just to make me look good. Hopefully, I won’t get crushed in the process.
snapper- i hope you don’t get crushed as well. 
_MELLLL

aww!! poor mel! i hope you can get some good sleep! you had a great workout regardless!
thanks cute brute- that’s your new name. i hope to sleep tonight. I’m feeling strong lately.
could be since I started taking creatine again as well as Jack3d…who knows. I don’t usually credit gains to any of that stuff.
No gym today. Taking the day off. I slept for 16 hours straight. that was fun. I didn’t really want to get out of bed, so I didn’t until about 7pm…
I might go running later. I’m so lazy. uhg.
Diet/cutting starts SOON. can I do it?
I’m gonna need serious help and motivation from you ladies, because I sure don’t have any will power.

Umm. Maybe don’t look to me for willpower regarding diet.
M-in-MD is disciplined. And of course Kimba.
My method is diet strictly during the week and allow myself to eat more normally at weekends (and yes that does include some treats). That way I stay sane.
The weekday diet is tough though - I usually just have whey protein and cans of tuna with olive oil and vinegar. Maybe some green veggies. Oh and lots of tea. Must have my tea.
dieting sucks ass! BLAH!!! the snoozing sounds wonderful, NICE!
I’m no where as lean as you are Mel. I’m all for balance : like balancing a glass of wine in each hand (bad frenchy).
I’m going to be in it with you (I have about a month of bad eats to reverse) so I’ll be following along and cheering on the sidelines. You have army food to contend with – I’ll have family food, which is tastier but no less deadly.
your in the friggin Army, Mel! you can handle a little dieting I’m sure. It sucks, but the pain is only temporary 
Cal- I think I’m going to have to stock up on tuna, and some vinegar with that sounds nice. And i drink at least 3 cups of tea a day! I would go crazy if I didn’t have it! I ask for it with every care package I get!!
snapper+brute- I hate dieting, and have no will power, and reallllly like cookies, and muffins. mmmmm
nlmain- I’m all about that kind of balance as well. As soon as I get back I will see how many balanced shots of vodka I can handle in my tummy at one time. Due to excess calories, I will now be chasing my vodka with water. Juice is out.
Alisa- Glad we’re in this together. I’m going to have to do the best I can with chow hall food. It’s a little difficult. esp since I don’t sleep at normal times.
MiM- The food is bad enough! And I am really bad at dieting. uhg. grrrr. I know if I actually buckle down I will like how I look at the end!
Good news, the wife has decided that she is going to be in this with me. We made a deal that as long as I plan out her diet and meals and training/cardio routine, and tell her what to eat, that she will go to the grocery store and buy all the food and do this diet with me. Lucky for her, she will have better food and more options. Lucky… But I’m excited about it. She wants to lose 10 pounds.
Should I tell her she has to stop drinking? idk. that won’t happen anyways.
welll. Gym time soon. lots of cardio must be done today. I can only see 4 abs. NOT GOOD NOT GOOD. grrrrr.
I’m pissed though, I took a day off, and my fucking traps and lower back are STILL SORE. WTF?
_Mel
oh …well…only 4 abs…geez! i can only see two of mine, but they make up for it with a winning personality :{
that’s awesome your wife is in on the horror too! it make sit much easier to have commiserates while dieting and stuff.
You live quite a nutty lifestyle over there. No sleeping, massive training (that’s ridiculously good), then sleeping a whole bunch…how do you do it?
Creatine huh? Interesting. I’m always interesting in seeing how creatine works with women. Let us know.
I also hate dieting, but quite like looking lean Unfortunately I have bad will power too and I vacillate b/w being really good and then hard core binging (and I don’t purge, fortunately or not, whatever). But i try to keep my head about me when I slide, I call it my “refeed”…er…don’t judge.
Great idea to get your girl on the healthy eats too!! That will make life soooo much easier. Plus you can experiment and stuff, should be fun.
HAHAH! 4 abs…I haven’t had my 6-pack since Novemeber!!
That’s ok, I haven’t had my 6-pack since NEVER! 
I’d like to see it someday though. I know I have abs under here somewhere!
I regularly take creatine. It’s made me massive.
