Free day May 15, 2004

No set diet , no exercise.

Weighed and measured today for the first time since I ended my Cut ( 4-17 ) Then had two weeks off from diet and exercise.

Started 5-3 on my bulk. Here are my stats as of today ( oh and I am using a new tape measure. Just for grins and giggles I measured the old one and I mean OLD, and it was off !!! It was cloth and had stretched out over the years ! Not by any great amount but I think it was almost a 1/4 " at 36 " so it was reading 35 3/4 at 36 !

Anyway :
4/17 5/15
chest 42.4 42
biceps 15 15 1/8
forearm 13.75 13 5/8
neck 15.5 15.5
waist 31.5 32.5
thigh 22.5 23
calf 14.5 15

weight 166 175

Next months measurements should be more revealing

Umm...there's other kinds of bulking?

Gary's is more fun...than just more added amounts of diet foods.

you guys are sooooooooo funnnyy ! LOL

It's a dirty job but somebody has to do it !!

But I have to admit the pizza today was comfort food. I was a little depressed today. I got called into to the owners office today. Seems that a female co-worker thinks I'm on the verge of stalking her .! Just because the subject of "where do you live" came up in one of our conversations. Anyway , i knew she had a lot of problems from some previuos conversations but I never dreamt that I was one of them ! > Anyway I think I am just an excuse for her to quit her job The boss said that if she comes back to just avoid her like the plague. NO PROBLEM !!!
