So there's your answer. Stay at maintenance calories. Don't cut the workout day calories. That's when you need calories for muscle growth more than any other time. Be sure to have your pwo shake. Stage 2 is more demanding than Stage 1, so give it 2-3 weeks and reevaluate. Give it a chance to work.
Spend some time reading motivational info that will help with patience and perseverance. It's tough to be patient, but consistency is what will get your there. Read some Jim Rohn, Charles Burke, Rhoberta Schaler, or whoever motivates you.
