    • Ooh, no i havent. Looks good 😄
    • sure as Hel does! (I did me a pun)
    • I second the points above, and I'd also like to to add: I'm not clear on what physical appearance you currently have and what physical appearance you are working towards, but a few things can affect this. How much muscle you see has more to do with your body fat percentage then the size of your muscles. You can have big muscles and not see them if they're hiding under fat. You may have built bigger muscles that you just can't see yet. Also, having strong muscles is not the same thing as having big muscles. And there are different training strategies aimed at each of those goals (for instance, how heavy a weight is and how many sets and reps you do with it.) And, "fitness" is a huge category. You won't get the same physical changes from running marathons as you will from powerlifting. If you have specific physique goals, make sure your "fitness" activities are actually working towards that physique.   It takes quite a bit of energy (Calories) to build muscle. Protein is the building material for muscle, like wooden planks and cinder blocks are building materials for a house. You still need energy (Calories) to do the building, like you need construction workers to assemble the wood and concrete into an actual house. This is true for repairing (maintaining) the muscle you have, and for building additional muscle mass. The energy (Calories) needed can come from food you're eating now, or from energy already stored in your body (fat). Your body is better at using stored fat as an energy source to fuel muscle growth if you a) have a high body fat percentage to start with and b) are eating at maintenance or slightly under maintenance Calories, NOT a lot under maintenance Calories. (If you undereat by too much, your body will think you're in a famine and stop wasting energy on unimportant things like muscle growth so it can save your precious stored fat to power the really essential things like keeping your heart beating and your liver working.)  If you're eating a lot of protein but too few Calories overall, your body will burn a lot of that protein as Calories instead of using it as a building material. To this end, tracking your protein and Calories for a week may give you a lot of useful info about what's happening in your case. A Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) calculator will give you an estimate of how much you need to be eating to stay the same weight (or lose or gain). Bare in mind a calculator will only give you a ballpark estimate as all humans are different. Personally, I like to use https://tdeecalculator.net/ and https://www.calculator.net/tdee-calculator.html and compare the results. Also, muscle is not built while you exercise. Muscle is built when your body is resting afterwards, provided it has enough materials and energy to do so. If you work out hard 5 days a week, are you resting enough? Are you sleeping enough? If you haven't already, check out the articles here https://www.nerdfitness.com/start-here/ The "Strength Training 101" and "How to Build Muscle" and "Weight Loss" sections may be helpful for you.  Best of luck! And if you give us more info about your goals and current situation, we may be able to point you in a more specific direction to reach those goals.
    • I wish I had the recipe for Outback's Chocolate Thunder from Down Under.  Best GF bake I've ever had.
    • I made it to Lothlórien, and now I have seen swan ships and elves.
    • It was sunny, so I was super motivated this morning. Went on a morning walk.  Then my friend came over, and we worked on our scrapbooks. I finished mine! Then I did a bit of gardening, and a short mobility session. Hubby and I are going for an after dinner walk very soon.
