Creatine and glutamine are about the only 2 supplements I personaly support. Yes, I would take them. If you have a GNC nearby they sale a bottle of Creatine Plus that has both in it for $20. Or if you are using Bodyfortress Protien if has them in there too...either way should be fine at this point.

ok Day three, I just got home from work and havnt had time to do my videos yet... Now the wife has the TV until about 10 pm but I will do them after she goes to sleep. I did mess up a little on the diet today by having an Iced mocha latte, but I was delivering them a pizza and tried to get out quick before the desire could tempt me and ended up standing there waiting for them to pay for ten minutes, and I ordered one..... Wasnt really that good, it was to sweet so I didnt drink it all. Writing out my grocery list for tomorrows shopping now, so I will have more variety to make at home instead of filling in the gaps with these subway turkey sandwiches.

Ok we need to work on the nutrition plan...you don't need that many protein drinks in one day. The more you get the nutrients from real food the better, you wont want to cheat as much if you have more good food in your tummy. Are you going to be around tonight? I'll call you after 7 my time asn we can work through this.
Peace.

Dang I just went shopping, lol. I did get a few things on the list though even though I didnt see this first. I got the Dannon lite and fit, Chicken breast, I got a pound of turkey deli meat so no beef there, And the lowfat mayo. Peanut butter and 1% milk I have and im going to get Wheat bread, apples and mustard. Is there anyway I can have egg whites instead of the cereal?

Ok guys I made it through 35 minutes of shoulders and arms, So far my favorite workout. I know that 35 minutes is not that great but I will get there, although I hate the chair dips, and I also hated reaching UP in to the cabinet to grab a glass for my chocolate milk after. lol I didnt attempt ab ripper x today. Just dont have enough steam. Another thing that I read on here I think thats helping. before I used to just eat until I was full (like a whole footlong for example) Now I eat half and wait the 20 minutes to see if Im still hungry and im not. Ive done this all three days with my meals and its worked each time. Im loving water again! I drink it constantly. Keep supporting me guys, your my motivation! Im off to bed.

You can sub out things that are "like"...so if it says roast beef you could use turkey or lean ham...
Go lean is really good cereal, you cna replace it with oatmeal alternate ever other day...if using oatmeal you can add honey and cinnamon on it.
You can use any fruits ..apple, orange, banana, grapes..
You can use the chicken breast most of the time but once or twice a week toss in a lean pork loin or a lean steak.
Use the eggs a couple times a week for breakfast...main thing is to try to stay close to this peramiter...It's just a guide line for you. Its around a 50/30/20 and should work well for phase 1 and 2.
Add in the cottage cheese with the yogurt it has great slow digesting protein for overnight recovery of the muscle.(note I have 6oz there instead of the normal serving which is 4oz.)
If you follow this and get the workouts in you are going to drop the pounds.
Had a CPR/AED class tonight at the last minute so couldn't call.
Peace.

Looks like I will hit my diet real close today again!! 31.6/48/21.4 1750 calories. Going to get my band and door attachment here in a few, Looks like im going to need them for todays workout. I got my epidural scheduled for Aug 11, Im scared to death! You ever see the size of those needles? Oh and you would think with half my body tattooed it wouldnt bother me \Somethings wrong with my scale, maybe I just need new batteries, It says I went from 245 to 241 ok thats fine, even if I didnt lose weight and it was just the normal time vs weight swing. but it says I went from 35% BF from my first day to 40% BF??? I plan on only weighing every sunday

Every Sunday is good, you have to eat at the same times every day drink at the same times and where as close to the same clothing each time you weigh in. Drinking a bit more water or eating a different meal or the temp. of your body or the outside air can all make the scale read differently. Your goal is to be consistent in all things. Also if you have another place to weigh you can see how close they are to each other. Add the 2 and devide them by 2 for a good average. I weight on 2 scales at work and one at home and am always with in .8 of each other.
Also I think 1700/1800 is to low, your body is going to think you are starving(because of you past very high calorie intake)and shut down fat burning, keep it around 2200 if you can, trust me on this...
