Getting easier = your conditioning is improving & Percieved exertion is going down. Smile
That is a measure of progress!

Over time you will manipulate cardio to push the fat loss...

Thanks again, Dan!

Bought the "Think Thin" bars from Whole Food today.  Tried them out in place of one meal and they are VERY tastey and for that price, they should've came with a free lap dance!

I was surprised each bar has 2.5g Saturated fat though, but I get some food is better then none.

LOL

Some places sell em for 1.19...some for 2.29...weird...

Those saturated fats are good saturated fats...from cocao butter, etc.  Look at the ingredients.

The thinkpink bars are also the right mix...If only the Organic bars had the right utrient mix Smile

When I can, I prefer to use a meal replacement drink that I mix from powder to match my needs. 
You can find descriptions of the ones I make/use linked in the MRP link at the bottom of my gaining Mass/losing fat threads

Many of my travels make it a challenge and so I bring bars as a fill in.

Back from the Master's!

Bars worked well, but inside the Master's I had to eat what they had.  I used the bars mostly when I was in the airports.

All is well ... back to the gym Friday!

The superilliac image is off...but thats an awesome page!

Illiac crest is the crest of the hip bone adn you want to be just over that...right above where the "seam" (trunk-lower extremity) is.

About the BCAAs, i don't take them before or after. I take them 30 minutes into my workout (1 tsp). I take my Whey 1/2 hour before my workout and then immediately after my HIIT.

I don't take Whey at the moment, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express Smile

Today, I paid close attention to the clock.

Arrived at 5:20, took BCAA's
Done stretching and 5 minute warm-up ~5:35
Completed resistance traing at 6:05
1 minute warm-up on treadmill
5 minute HIIT
5 minute cool down
Stretched
Exited gym and took BCAA's at 6:20

Feeling good.  Shins are feeling better.  Bad head-ache all day, but probably from allergies since mine get bad this time of year.

Getting what appear to be stretch marks on my shoulders.  Not sure where they are coming from, but they disappeared during my week off.

Consumed all 6 meals; however, meal 3 was a cheat ... chicken caesar salad since my boss took me to lunch.

Strectch Marks?

Hmm..I remember reading somewhere in the forums that stretch marks are a sign of muscle growing. Not 100% sure though Smile

I'm not sure if you'd call them stretch marks, although they look that way.

I took a week off and the top of my shoulders were clear.  I worked-out Monday, no stretch marks. 

Wednesday, I take off my shirt pre-workout ... no marks.  After the workout, I have VERY long and red marks that look just like stretch marks.  This morning, they had disappear somewhat.

I'm concerned that it might be something I'm wearing that's aggitating my skin, temporary stretch marks?, or perhaps I'm popping blond vessels or maybe this is some kinda of bruising from doing my calf presses.

Well, I have high histamine levels.  histamine makes things turn red.

After I do anything where I rest the bar on my body or have heavy contact with anything...I have purple-red marks...they go away later. Smile

Yup, that sounds like it!  Probably from the calf machine because 130+ pounds rests on my shoulders.

HIIT 5 minutes, but on the bike because my shins are still killing me despite my efforrts to stretch more.  Dan, I know doing HIIT on a bike isn't nearly as effective as running.  With that said, should I double the HIIT times?  Right now I maintain 85 rpm's and my "resting" pace is Level 7 and my "sprinting" phase iss at Level 14.  My hart beatt still hits 180.

Full workout in 40 minutes

No, you are looking for intensity not duration for the moment...and you still have it!

The bike or even swimming is fine!

If that's the case, I'm sticking to the bike!  Much easier on my knees and shins!  I sound old, huh?! haha

I can be much more intense on the bike (even swimming) rather then running, not sure why.
