Its so hard to explain to people the science behind the nutrition. People seem to associate supplements with huge dudes on steroids. I told them I have been having protein shakes since the end of February and haven't gotten "huge" yet, so it probably won't happen. Sigh. Yet another challenge of a healthy lifestyle - having to explain to people the what, why, where and when's of this life. Sometimes its just easier to not even talk about stuff which is sad since I am so enthusiastic about it. Anywho, on to another workout and good day of eating tomorrow!

It's so frustrating to have people make comments like that--I've had a couple from acquaintances, but I've also had comments on how hard I work, how hard I look, and the newly developed muscle definition in my arms and legs. So maybe we should just take the good with the bad? And I know what you mean re being enthusiastic and not having people to talk to--my family and friends just humor me...
BTW, you do a lot of extra exercise! Are you seeing good results so far? I always admire runners--that's something I'm really not good at.

Just saw your last workout--WOW! You are really getting strong! I could never do 10# on the cuban snatch, and the other #s are great also. Actually, I just tried (accidentally) a DL from box w/115# this morning and it wasn't pretty...
I hope your foot/ankle is improved...keep us posted!
