When it first came in, it’s size scared my mom. It was a huge industrial size tub of calories and protein for weight gaining. Tim and I had decided to go on a 1-2 month program of working out. I was about 145 at the start of the program, and have gained to 160 as of last week. This is the most I have ever weighed, and the strongest I’ve ever been. At the start maxed out 185, and my one rep max is about 225. Family, friends, and people around me do notice the change. I am really satisfied with the progress we’ve made. But what’s more impressive is that we set a goal, kept each other accountable, and we accomplished it.

Yesterday, when I worked out, my reflexes told me to blend up another shake. It was second nature to do so. And I had to stop myself from doing so, because I noticed that that was the definition of being dependent  or even addicted. The whole point of this program was to gain weight, and now that I am where I want to be, it’s time to realize an end. So, now I’m going to try to stay as natural and healthy as possible, as I maintain.
