Okay, so I have made it clear that my latest objective has been to obtain some weight gain (muscle mass gain) to see if I can transform my body. The first 3-4 weeks or so I was doing really well with upping my calories and actually limiting my workouts from 6 days/week to 4 days/week. However, lately I have been having a hard timing reaching my projected weight gain calorie requirement. Whether its not being able to eat every couple hours or just not having calorie dense foods, it has led me back to square one...I was at 128 and am dipping back to 125-126. If you check my calorie history I have gone down from 2400 in Sept. to around 2000 halfway in Oct. Sure - anyone can say "just eat more". Well, its tough, expensive, and time consuming. I have even resorted to weight gainers in an attempt to fill up where I cannot fit it in and I only use it on workout days.

Here I am again at a crossroads - where do I go from here? Do I continue to try and consume extra calories? My other issue is over these past years I have been blessed with picking up health eating habits - sprouted over refined, quinoa, greek yogurt, greens, etc. I fear the thought of losing those habits, over-cheating, and gaining more fat than muscle. I think this is really holding me back in my attempts....

My stomach is hurting again, which forced me to not do burpees on Sunday and still tender today. There's something really wrong here. It seems after my leg workout, my groin/stomach area has this sharp pain that radiates around that area. It does not happen immediately, it is usually right around bedtime and the next couple of days I have to endure it and then it goes away. This is the third time its happened, finally going to see someone at the clinic tomorrow and hopefully they can diagnose it. I am fearing it to be a hernia and I really hope that is not the case.
