Thanks, bro.
I'm down to 251 lbs, but my arms and my thighs are both a bit bigger, so I'd guess that I'm still adding muscle. I pretty happy about that. Here are today's pics, goofy facial expressions and all:

Just made an almost-perfect shake:
3 cups water
1 cup plain probiotic yogurt
1/2 scoop Dymatize Elite vanilla flavour
1 scoop LG Lipotropic vanilla flavour
blend, then add 1 cup frozen blueberries, then blend again.
It tastes like a cold blueberry cheesecake. It's unreal.
Speaking of frozen: I keep a gym bag in my car for those times when I can unexpectedly hit the gym. Had one of those times two days ago... but my shorts, shoes, and gloves had all been in the car for days in sub-zero weather. I nearly froze my nuts off! I was laughing at myself thinking that if I'd set any new PRs that day, I'd have worn frozen shorts for the rest of my life just in case that'd had something to do with it....
Couple of funny stories involving snow tires:
I have two snow tires for my car. No rims, just tires. The last four winters, I've been able to get them mounted on my front rims and that's handled any snow quite nicely. This year: No dice! Some douchebag got two snowies mounted on his car last year, got in an accident, and tried to sue the company that mounted the tires. Now the local tire companies won't mount just two. I'm moving to Japan at the end of February, so... I don't want to buy two new snow tires. Couldn't find any used ones at the wreckers... so... No snow tires for me this winter.
Of course, we've had a record-breaking dump of snow, so I haven't been getting out too much. In fact, for close to a week around Christmas I just didn't go to the gym. My shoulders and my right elbow have been letting me know that it's time to take a break anyway, so that and the snow was enough to convince me to take a break between that "frozen shorts" workout on the 21st and today.
I only did a few no-weight squats and lunges and some light midsection work. Didn't do a damn thing for my upper body. I also ate a ton of stuff that I usually go really light on: Cheese in particular, but also oatmeal, rice crackers, turkey pepperoni, fruit juice, and stuff that I fried up in generous amounts of canola oil... I didn't eat any candy or anything, but I enjoyed myself over the holidays. Chitose and I polished off a bottle of wine and a whole plate of cheese (cheddar, mozza, brie, and smoked gouda) on the 23rd.
I was dreading what the scale was going to tell me when I got to the gym today, though... It took me forever to break the 256-pound barrier, and I was really happy about being down to 251 before taking my break. If I'd been back up to 256, I'd have been crushed. Instead... on the same scale and wearing almost exactly the same thing that I'd weighed in at 251 with on the 21st... I'm still at exactly 251! I was about as happy as it's possible to be about something like that. I don't get it... but I'll take it!
Finally, my car got stuck in the snow on the driveway going into the gym. And I mean I got STUCK. The girl at the from desk lent me a shovel and some stuff to shove under my tire, but there was just no moving my car. A couple of guys walking by offered to help... but it was no use. We pushed and pushed but my car wasn't going anywhere. One nice thing was that the minute I went back into the gym a bunch of bros IMMEDIATELY offered to try and push me out... but I'd already called a guy who owns a towing company that I know through my wife (his wife works with her). It felt pretty good that they offered without me even saying anything, though.
Even better: When the guy got me unstuck, just as I was going for my wallet, the woman who owns the building that the gym is in came out. She explained that she'd hired a backhoe but that it broke down before the driveway got cleared. She INSISTED that she should pay for the tow. Again, I never asked for this, she offered it of her own free will.
I went home feeling just great. I took a break and didn't lose any strength or gain any weight, and a few people went out of their way to be kind to me without me having to ask for anything. In a way, I feel lucky that I couldn't get my tires mounted, because I got to experience what I did today.
Great Job Bro
I am going to try the weirdest thing you have probably heard of
I brew beer and found a recipe for chocolate beer where you use nestle chocolate power i am going to ose lipotropic protein to see if i can make a protein enriched beer
If that works, you''ll have invented the best-selling supplement of all time.
