Grubby

Im getting back into weightlifting and I have decided on the Starting Strength routine. Ive been doing some more reading on the plan and it seems like everyone recommends to just eat and eat a lot. Recommending between 3-4000 calories a day. This seems odd to me because I have been eating a much lower amount of calories in the paleo form lately. Is it still possible to consume this many calories and keep it clean? I also see that the Starting Strength plan recommends eating a large amount of carbs in your diet. I have been trying to eat a low amount of carbs (betwee 20-30%) of my caloric intake.) Mark also recommends drinking a gallon of milk a day. Now I LOVE milk but I have kept it to a minimum since it is not recommended on a paleo plan. That is a TON of milk to consume. Just wanted to double check what I have read so far.

There is a post on the main blog page about this. I have read it a few times and it has changed the way I think lately in my everyday life. Things like "Ill put the dishes away later." Then my "DO IT" attitude comes in and smacks the shit out of that attitude, and I walk over and put them away. Done, over with. I think the blog post was was called Priorities or something similar. If I can make time to sit my butt on the couch and watch a movie I better be able to make time to do the other more important things in my day.

Lefty here, but I pretty darn ambidextrous. Can pitch, bat, shoot guns, play basketball, etc all right handed.

Lefeux -- Very good choice of music there. We share the same taste in workout jams.

Thanks everyone! Im feeling the pain today though. Haha, actually it feels good.

Hey everyone! Im Sean and today was my Day 1. Long story short I stopped hitting the gym and got a little overweight. I decided that today was going to be my Day 1 for a total renovation. Im sure why I picked this day because it was my first day back to school, new work schedule, and on top of it had to take someone to the airport at 4am. I was really starting to forget going to the gym today because it was going to be such a long day. My true NerdFitness kicked in and said DO IT and got to the gym. by 7am after being up at 3:45am and driving to the airport and back. Now I am sitting at my desk at work and feel awesome that I got off my butt and did it. I just wanted to share my happiness and introduce myself before heading off into the other sections.
