I didn't want to set my goals too high, i dont want to put down something i may not be able to do. So i figured ill go for moderate goals, and if i end up smashing them in the end ill know to aim higher next time.
I think ill go have some more to eat on that note...

Mediocre goals get mediocre results. Set your goals high my friend.

It's always good to have somebody push you. Im gonna think my goals over and i'll post them over again tonight.

I always cringe when I don't see protein at a meal... and especially at breakfast! You have been fasting all night, get some healthy carbs AND protein in!

Well the cereal has 7 grams of protein, and the cliff bar has 10, so i am getting some protein. But Its back to eating eggs and oatmeal tomarrow, the king of breakfasts.

I don't really lift much like you guys do, but even I need more protein than that in the morning.
INCREASE THE PROTEIN INTAKE

RIGHT YOU ARE.
I REP YOU

There's no way im going to let a girl beat me in protein intake!!
Ha jk, i'll have to work something out with that on the days i don't have eggs, thanks for the advice.

My whole body is in need of a good stretch, everything feels tight.

Breakfast- 3.5 Eggs, oatmeal
snack- peanut butter sandwich, almonds
