Squats And Milk

This kid must be on the squats and milk workout too.

Yesterday was a recovery day, so my post will be short.  I failed to drink the required one gallon of milk yesterday, but came close.  I think I was about a quart shy, but I also read that you may have to work your way up to it so I’m not beating myself up too bad over it.  I actually could have drank the rest of it last night after we took the children to the Zoo Lights at the Washington Zoo in D.C.  In fact, I was actually thirsty before I went to bed.  But I didn’t because my stomach was so bloated already I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to get to sleep if I subjected myself to another dose of white liquid.  All day long my stomach was tore up, and at one point I lifted my shirt to look, in pure amazement, at my huge bloated stomach.  Do you know those pictures of malnurished kids that they show on TV to guilt you into sending money.  Well I looked like I ATE a few of those kids. 

As I sip my milk-based protein shake and type this I am wondering if I may be lactose intollerant.  That would make the next 40 days pretty exciting.  I will have to do some research to find out more, but at a minimum I think that I have found the first flaw with this workout. 

Also noteworthy is the fact that I have gained two full pounds in 24 hours and am now up to 172.2.  I can’t imagine that this is muscle weight though and am fully expecting that I will drop it by the next weigh-in.
