Another great Chest, Shoulders & Triceps (plus Ab Ripper X) workout. I am somewhat sad that this routine will be going away for a few weeks. The same goes for the Back & Biceps routine after Tuesday this week. I don't know, maybe I will get a new found appreciation for the Chest & Back routine which may have just been too overwhelming on Day 1. Like last week, I increased the weight an nearly all of the moves, and I am still making incremental improvements to the Ab routine(still no Mason Twist). I just ate my lunch(270 cal) and my stomach is sill growling. There is definitely a big difference between under and over 1400 calories and I am still amazed that the main difference is that I am more hungry now despite the fact that am consuming more calories. The hungry feeling gives me comfort though, as to me it is a indication that I fixed something that was wrong with my original diet and there is a promise for good results to come. Before I could not understand the purpose for appetite suppression supplements, I was eating a whole lot less than normal and yet I was not hungry. Now I am hungry all the time, so I am testing my ability to be fine with that and not need to resort to the supplements.
