I do feel a little tired, so i try and get a few naps before the gym and at lunch time. This is the first time I've included cardio in my workout so I have mixed feelings about progress. Sometimes I feel skinny but I guess its the fat going, but once Im pumped up, I feel great. Thanks for the post Robert.

What's your stats? How much do you want to loose? and when is the competition? -------------- - Nina :o) La vie est toujours aussi belle.....

Actually simple carbs post work out is the only time where those carbs really never will make you fat...... -------------- - Nina :o) La vie est toujours aussi belle.....
