      I'm up four pounds -- hopefully this isn't too much fat though. Thanks for the comment.

        Notes

        Nothing new to report. I took the Black Hole after working out, about 90 minutes before dinner. Again, it helped a little bit with feeling less full, but still nothing extraordinary. At this point (about halfway through my log) I have not really eaten much more at meals consumed after taking the Black Hole. The most it's done so far is prevent my post-workout shake from filling me up too much, however, when I have taken the pills at other times of the day, I didn't notice much of an effect at all. I still get pretty full from that meal, and I don't seem to be consuming additional food.

              Notes

              I was a little disappointed because I had to cut my workout short today. I was really busy today and ran out of time in the middle of my workout, which is why I only did three exercises. I did work hard during those exercises and felt good. I also must say that today was the most I have felt from the Black Hole so far. I worked out much earlier in the day, so I didn't take it post-workout. I took it about 30 minutes before dinner and wow, I was really hungry, and felt like I definitely could have kept eating. I'm not sure why all of a sudden I felt such an increase in appetite, but it could be since my stomach was pretty empty. I hadn't eaten anything in a little over three hours. That's about it, arms/shoulders tomorrow...

                I had a pretty good workout, great pumps as usual. Took the Black Hole about 45-60 minutes after working out, which ended up being about 45 minutes before dinner. I still am not feeling much of an effect, so I'm wondering if it's time to try taking it at a different time of the day for a while and see how that goes.

                  Workout: Off Day

                  Notes

                  I weighed myself this morning, and I'm still at 196, so that means it's time to start upping the calories again tomorrow. From now on I will aim for the 4500 range. I also never got a chance to get my bodyfat done with calipers, but I am really starting to doubt the 17% bodyfat. Does anyone know how accurate that website actually is? A few years back I was around 10-11% and while I've gained a lot of weight (muscle), I don't see how I could have put on 6-7% of fat without noticing a significant increase in appearance. I've also seen pictures of guys on here, and bodybuilding.com that list themselves around 17% and compared them to myself. Other then that, nothing new to report. I kept the calories a little lower today since it was an off day, and again took the Black Hole about 30 minutes before dinner. I didn't eat much more, but I also didn't really feel stuffed either, so that's a plus. That's about it, be back tomorrow.

                      It's hard to tell. It doesn't look like I have gained noticeable fat, but realistically I don't see how it is possible for me to have gained 4 lbs of muscle in less then 2 weeks.

                        Notes

                        I feel real full, but I managed to up the calories today. I Also had a great workout today. I had a lot of energy and was really focused on each set. I think starting tomorrow, I may try taking the Black Hole at a different time of the day, probably in the afternoon before lunch. I'm seriously not feeling anything worth noting when I take it before dinner. I'm not eating anymore food then I normally would at that particular meal, and I still feel full. Hopefully the change in timing will make a difference.

                          I was going to take the Black Hole in the afternoon, but since I was gonna be at work, I figured it would be pointless since I wouldn't be able to eat any additional food anyways. So I took it post-workout again, but ate dinner two hours later. I felt no increase in appetite, but I didn't feel stuffed once I finished eating either, which is obviously a good thing. I will try taking it in the afternoon tomorrow. I was able to keep the calories up again, as well, so I am pleased with that too.

                            *Didn't keep track of all my macros -- got most, but not all, plus I ate Moe's for dinner (yum!), so this is my estimate. I think it's probably pretty close. I was at about 3300 not counting the Moes, and I figure the burrito is probably around the 1,000 calorie range, as scary as that is.

                            I took the Black Hole in the afternoon today, and let me tell you, I finally felt an increase in appetite. I definitely was hungrier and ate more then I normally would, and I actually felt like I could have kept eating, so definite good news there. My workout, however, was crap. It was just one of those days where I couldn't get completely focused -- my shoulder hurt so CGBP sucked, and I ran out of time so I could only do one exercise for biceps instead of two. Oh well, I've gotta move on. Tomrorows an off day, so I will refocus and be ready to get back into it Saturday.

                              Notes

                              Today was an off day, so no workout to report, and I kept the calories a little lower. I decided to take the Black Hole right when I woke up, about 30 minutes before breakfast. I felt absolutely nothing and was extremely full from the meal. It's so frustrating because Black Hole has been so hit and miss with me. One day I will feel nothing, the next day I will feel a minimal increase in appetite, and then the next day I feel like I can eat everything in sight. I don't know whats going on, but either way, thats all for today.

                                So this weekend has been way too hectic, which is why I haven't been able to give a solid update. I've been working a lot, on top of other things that are keeping me busy, so I haven't been able to accurately keep track of my calories for the weekend. There really hasn't been anything new to report anyway, but I will be back with the normal, in-depth updates Monday for the last week of my log.
