Boy, am I enjoying this!! Current program calls for me to eat almost 3,800 calories per day. At the same time, I am only doing weight lifting with minimal cardio. I try to maintain about a 60-20-20 split in my meals. I am going to see what things look like after 8 weeks. My goal during that 8 weeks is to gain 4 pounds of muscle, along with whatever fat comes along with it. When the time comes, if it is in 8 weeks or beyond, I will start cutting. That means carbohydrates and calories. My split will be 50-25-25 then. I have been told that it is difficult, but possible, eating proteins like egg whites and lean meats. I would assume that my fats will be mostly confined to polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats with very few saturated fats at all. Wish me luck, because I will probably need it!

Well, I do a mean job of bulking. Let's see what kind of job I can do cutting. That is where my challenge will be.

Rise, I talked with Mashka about Sunday chat. She may join us. I told her that there was room for her, too. Seems like we need to try to get as many as we can to participate. BTW, where is Meagan???

Hi Cisco,
I do not believe we have ever met but I wanted to say when i get a chance to come on to the site I enjoy seeing your updates and posts about your dedication to staying healthy and your motivation to keep going. Exercise and keeping myself strong certainly saved my life many times over and is a true passion and desire of mine also so reading your "fierce commitment" makes me smile  Makes me proud.
Keep up the great work and I am sure you are quite an inspiration to many-
PS What is the Sunday chat?

Rise - I hope you recover soon.
I am within days of my first transplant "birthday" and I have been having lots of neck and back trouble. I am seeing a Physical Therapist who attributes a lot of it to the stitches and scarring post transplant.
Anyone else struggling with similar?
