Was a good workout. Hit all my numbers, and I hope to raise them next week.

Today's Menu

• P: 1 cup protein drink

• B: 1 slice pumpkin bread
• B: 1 cup chocolate soymilk
• S: 1 protein bar
• L: 2 burritos

• D: 1 plate pasta w/ sauce

So tell me how you prepared your choc soy milk exactly. Was it good? Was this the first time you drank that?

compassionategirl, I'm not sure about the source of the chocolate used in my soymilk . That was one of the reasons I was asking. I'm going to look into the sources of vegan fair trade chocolate listed in this article, "Chocolate, Unchained."

stove6, I'm sorry, but I don't have the recipe on hand right now, but the Tempeh London Broil recipe is from Dining With Friends, by Priscilla Feral and Lee Hall. I left my copy of cookbook is at my office .

Not a bad workout, today. I didn't hit all my numbers, but I still improved over my last workout. I found a couple little two pound dumbbells and stuck them in my pockets for added wait on the chins. I would have had that last set of deads, but my grip gave out.

This is what my shins usually look like after deadlifting.

Did you ever find out why your arms were falling asleep?

You know, it really hasn't gone numb since I posted , so I haven't really thought about it. I know I should still have someone look at it though. Still haven't any idea what the cause is.

Didn't do so well. This is the last week of my 5x5, so I guess I should be at my limit. Still, I thought I might have done a little better. Got stuck under 150lb, so I was somewhat shy about going all out after that.

There seems to be a lot of comic book fans on this site so I thought I'd post this picture from Oct 1997.



That's right, I'm a complete dork. Hope you folks like the new avatar.
