by Stephen Vinson April 7, 2010

I was wondering when this was going to happen. I gained 5 lbs last week. This always happens when I first start working out. I’m not going to lie, I am just a little discouraged, but I’m prepared. I knew it was coming. Honestly, I didn’t overeat last week. To gain that much weight would [...]

April Fools Check In

by Stephen Vinson April 2, 2010

Just a quick Thursday check in. Yesterday I went to the doctor for my Testosterone shot and Vitamin B12 shot. The B12 shot is awesome. It gives me so much energy. I highly recommend them. I was looking at my weight loss numbers today and I’m 15 pounds from 150 pounds lost, which is the [...]
