I hope to hit the gym today, but don't know if I'll have the time. If not, I'll be doing P90X Plyos. If I make it to the gym, I'll post my workout.

Brunch? lol how many times you eat during the day and do you have any target calorie amounts or macro's you shoot for per day?

ha, i accidently slept in; i pulled in about 500 calories/16 g protein with that meal. My target is anywhere around 2000 but no more than 2500 as of right now. I sometimes just throw in random stuff because I'm in a hurry.

2:00: Protein Shake 100 calories/20 g protein

4:00: Boars Head Grilled Chicken Sandwich (whole grain, chicken, advocado, cheddar cheese) around 400 calories/ 45 g protein
