Hi Sweetie !

Shopping is on my list of things to do ( for supps and car stuff ) . Also plan on painting the t-tops on "jill" and start on repainting the hood so she will be as beautiul as her namesake.

Oh and i am "buliking". You were kidding me right ? You didn't think I looked bigger in my last pics ? :(
 
:lol: The wee hours of the morning indeed! It's weird, up during the week I don't get nearly the amount of sleep I should. Last night I had to stay up super late finishing up some homework that's due tonight. Then my mind takes a while to cool down so I hop online! Boy, work wasn't too much fun this morning...in fact, it wasn't ANYTHING...I called in! Mwahahahaha Brotha needed some sleep in a bad way!

Matthew,

I use the chart here http://www.rustyiron.net/formmal7.htm . there is no way I am 6% BF but i use it as a gauge for watching changes. Body weight x BF% = lbs of fat 180 x 5.9% = 10.62 Hope thats the right way to do it. LOL Maybe someone will see this and correct me if I'm wrong. Guess I could check my BFFM manual .

I am looking forward to my next cut . Wonder what is under all the extra "weight" I have put on . LOL
