Alpha Male Status Report
After the 2 week jump start, my progress plateau'ed. I didn't go up but didn't go down. I maintained my exercise, both weight lifting and walking and thought I was eating right.
So I took about 4 days off. Not that I binged, but I drank more than I normally would and had a couple of diet no-no's. Like Pizza, all you can eat fish fry, bar food. Funny thing, is that I didn't feel like I was extremely hungry. I still did good most of the day each day, like Yogurt for breakfast, salad for lunch, etc. So no big weight gain during the days off. And I continued exercising during that time.
Back on the regime. Looking back, I suspect that part of the reason for the plateau was some afternoon snacking I had become fond of. Namely Beef Sticks and Smokehouse Almonds. No calories there, (and mostly fat and salt). Funny thing is that I think the urge to snack was really thirst. Trying to drink more water after my noon walks.
More later this week, including the Alpha Weight Lifting report, sure to just reek of testosterone.

Plateau's sort of suck. I'm on one too. But I'm not miserable -- like I don't feel like I'm suffering and getting nothing for it. Actually, it must be that I really got myself in the right frame of mind before I started the gym and So Beach, beacuase neither is making me feel like I'm suffering. So as long as I'm doing all the right stuff, I know I will move forward again -- just a matter of time.
Watch out for those weights Microe -- we talked about this -- big miscules, small . . . (you fill in the blank)

It doesn't change in size. If however you can loose belly fat, it sticks out more. Guys with 6 pack abs have a good foundation.

no it doesn't shrink, but everything else grows so it appears (and performs?) minutely compared to expecation. (so I'm told -- what would I know?!)
