Jeff (Kreth) mentioned he was researching workout info and saw a lot of people talk about a simple chocolate milk drink for your post workout supplement. Just skim milk and chocolate mix. I happened to talk to two coworkers today about it, they both work out. They both said it definitely does help. You get a nice dose of protein and carbs to help replenish the muscles you just worked out. I made one up today and actually had it before my workout. I wanted to get the mix right. I used 8oz skim milk, 1 tsp Hersey's Special Dark cocoa and a pack of Splenda. Put in a container you can shake to mix and drink. Not sure if that was it, or my dinner before the workout, but I had a lot more energy today and increased the weight for my workout and was able to do more. Could've been physcological. Who knows but I"m going to continue to do it. I didn't have one after the workout as I didn't want the extra carbs. But now that I have the mix right, i'll be drinking them afterwards.

I also ordered some Protein Powder and Creatine too. Been reading a lot about them and the benefits. Figured I'd give it a shot. The brand of creatine I got isn't supposed to give you the normal "creatine bloat". If it helps with my recovery I'll take adding on a couple extra pounds.

I read that caffeine can hinder low-carb weight loss, so i'm going to to stop drinking coffee and diet sodas and see if it helps

Went over my calorie count a bit yesterday so I'm pretty bummed about that. However, all in all I'm down 14lbs and still feel good about life so that's a plus. Going to hit it xtra hard this week

I mix 1/2 cup choc 1% milk and 1 1/2 cup white 1% milk.

I found a new hole on my belt today!
I mean, I knew it was there all along, just never thought I'd be using it!
one more notch and I get to go belt shopping!

Isn't it such a good feeling Dom? Congrats.

There ya go, my man. I always shut that stuff off when I did the low carb. I think my ex-bil told me about it. I drank tons of half-caff coffee and caffiene-free diet pepsi, and still cut that out. I started right back up later, then quit diet pop altogether. I haven't had coffee in days, and really couldn't be considered a coffee drinker for the last couple years, I suppose.

I found the last one too...but I am going to have new holes made. I bought two belts(my now favorites) in barcelona and not a single belt I have EVER bought in the US comes close to the quality of those. It may be a little long but I will look at it and smile!

BTW Dom, PM incoming.

Had my first post workout chocolate milk shake today. Monitored my blood glucose, before, after and 1 hour after. It actually went up after working out which leads me to believe I need to do a pre-workout supplement of some sort. This should help to fuel my body and not burn up all my glucose stores. An hour later, it was back down in normal levels. Tomorrow the protein and creatine arrives, so I'll get a chance to try that. Plus it's weights day.

Also got a package in the mail today of some running shorts. Those should help with my goal of training for the 5k in October. My regular cotton athletic shorts weren't cutting it anymore.

235.2 this morning. I think I need to up the calorie intake a little, much as I like seeing that number go down. That's 38 lbs in just over 2 months.
