      Notes

      I took the Black Hole immediately after working out, as suggested by Tank. I then had my pwo meal and dinner about an hour and fifteen minutes after the shake. Still didn't notice any change from the Black Hole, but, for some unknown reason my stomach has been upset ever since coming home from the gym. Let's just say I have been in the bathroom every 10 minutes and leave it at that, so dinner was extra tough to get down tonight, and unfortunately I could not finish it all. I don't know what could have caused the upset stomach, as there was nothing new added to my diet. I will take the Black Hole at this time again tomorrow, as well, and hopefully I will notice a difference.

        Notes

        Not much to report -- took the Black Hole right after working out again and still didn't feel much of an increase in appetite. I did feel a little less full from my pwo meal, going into my dinner, but I still got pretty full from the meal. This does seem like the ideal time for me to take the Black Hole, though, so I will continue with this for a bit. Also, I reduced the amount of glycergrow today from 2 scoops pre, 1 scoop during (3 total) to 1 scoop pre, 1 scoop during (2 total). I did this due to the fact that on back day, my pumps from the glycergrow/green mag combo have been so strong to the point it's painful. 2 scoops seemed to be the perfect amount for back day.

            Workout: Off Day

            Notes

            For some reason I had a difficult time getting all of my calories in today, so I'm a little disappointed that I came up a bit short. I took the Black Hole before dinner, and even though I didn't feel much of an increase in appetite, I was hungry again about an hour later, I'm assuming due to the BH. I've had a terrible headache all day, and my head has still been bothering me slightly while lifting so it may be time to pay the doc a visit. Until tomorrow...

              Notes

              Pumps were crazy as usual. I love back and arms day because by the end of the workout my muscles always look so "full." I took the Black Hole immediately after working out again, which helped me get down my pwo shake without feeling too full for dinner about an hour later.

              I went out with some friends last night, but only had 2 beers, however, I couldn't resist the temptation of McDonalds on the way home. Oh well, I haven't had fast food in the longest time, but thats the reason my fat intake was much higher today.

                Day 10

                Today was an off day since I barely got any sleep the night before. I felt kinda crappy for most of the day so my diet was all off, so I don't have my meals recorded. I will be back on track tomorrow for sure and will do shoulders. I really feel like I have gained a little too much fat. I don't know if this is all in my mind, but I just feel like I have gained much more fat then muscle. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm looking forward to cutting...

                  Workout: Off Day

                  Notes

                  So here's my little rant for the day. I have lost a lot of my motivation in the gym lately, and I have a strong feeling it is due to my workout routine. I am really getting bored with it, not to mention the fact that I feel like I am gaining a lot of fat. So with that being said, pt gave me the OK to switch up my routine a little bit, so starting Monday I will be hitting each bodypart twice a week with a routine very similar to mr. aires. I am really excited to try it out, as he seems to highly recommend it.

                  For today, I kept the calories a little lower then normal since I didn't work out the whole weekend. I am a little disappointed that my macros were crap though -- I feel like the fat should be lower and the protein a little higher. I think the problem is that I am not sure of other foods to eat to get in some more calories, so my extra ones are coming from fat. If anyone has any suggestions, please leave them.

                    Notes

                    It felt real good to get started with a new routine. I really think this change is exactly what I needed to get back on track. I also weighed myself this morning and was 196 lbs, thats 4 lbs heavier then when I started this log two weeks ago. Again, I am not exactly sure how much of this is fat, but we will see at the conclusion of the log when I take final measurements. Nothing else to report -- I took the Black Hole immediately post-workout and it really helped me from getting too full after my post-workout shake. Dinner went down pretty smoothly, at first, but out of nowhere I began to feel nauseous, and couldn't finish my last few bites of chicken. I have no idea what caused this, since it was so sudden. That's about it for today.

I'm still not noticing a huge increase in appetite. I do feel a little less full after finishing my post-workout shake, but dinner does not seem to be going down any easier. Any suggestions from the CL guys?

                              Notes

                              Really not much to report today. I had a real good workout, and took the Black Hole right when I finished. Similar to the past few days, I didn't feel very full after my post-workout meal, and I did seem to feel slightly hungrier before dinner, but nothing huge. I still feel full while eating my dinner, though.

                                Day 15

                                Macros

                                So today was an off day, so I decided to have a much needed cheat meal for dinner. I ordered some Pizza Hut, man it's been a while. I just wish I wouldn't have taken the Black Hole earlier in the day. Other then that, I still ate pretty clean for the day, but I also was forced to eat out for lunch, since I was asked by a close friend. We went to Einstein Bros. so I got tuna on a whole wheat bagel, so hopefully that wasn't too bad. My point here is, due to the eating out, I was not able to fully keep track of my macros. If I were to guesstimate, I'd say I was in 3500-3800 range, which is what I was aiming for, as I was trying to keep my calories a little lower since it was an off day.

                                I decided to change up when I take the Black Hole for the day, so I took it about 45-60 min before lunch. I didn't feel much of difference while eating the meal, but I was hungry again about an hour or so later, but still, nothing extra ordinary.
