Dr Heckler's Journal 2005

[Drheckler]

Well I'll keep things short and sweet. Got about 3200 cals in today not quite what I was shooting for, I've been getting 3500 quite consistantly lately but still not to bad too miss a couple hundred. Bumped my milk intake up to 2 liters of skim a day helps add some extra cals without the fat. Hope to hit 170 by the end of July. Going to try and cut down too 3 days at the gym from 4 just to change it up abit. I feel my body is needs some more rest periods, so we will see how that go's.

Imagine that ... you have a journal. ;) Nice work. 6lbs by end of July means you have to stay consistent with the calories. How much have you been gaining per week with the 3500?

[Wannabelean]

Good luck with your goals man, you can do it!

Roughly around a pound a week, but not much has happened in the last week. I'm going to bump my cals up to 3700 and hope for the best, even if I hit 170 by mid august I'll be happy but end of july would be nice.

Hows the cut going?

[Anthony]

Cool, 1lbs per week is decent. Cut has been stubborn the past while, but I've also been more lax on diet and cardio because of the heat wave. I need to pick things up, though.
