"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I've weighted in the evening, about 4 hours after workout and then again in the morning as I always do. The difference was in the morning I lost 2.5 lbs of muscle.


Is there anyway to prevent this muscle loss?


Now, my program is targeted at loosing weight and body fat, which Im able to do well. I'm working with understanding that I'll loose some muscle as part of process, I have no problems there. My weight lifting, cardio, and diet is so that I metabolize as much as possible. In 2 months my muscle mass stayed pretty much unchanged, fluctuating up and down, up after workout, and down the day after, when I'm about to begin my next round 48 hours later I have pretty much same amounts of muscle, BUT my muscle tone is improving. I've been able to loose 6% body fat, and some 30 or so lbs.


Besides the diet, is there anything else I can change that will help me build muscle. Does glycogen or creatine gives me what I want? If I don't loose that build up muscle, I should be able to have more of it, which will increase my metabolism even more.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

My scale shows muscle mass along with body water %. Under MM it showed that I lost 2.5 lbs. Is it possible?

Everyone's weight fluctuates throughout the day.

Also, how can a scale possibly accurately tell you your muscle mass? It can't.

Calm down.

Muscle/fat/water scales are **** unless you get tested in a lab. Trust me, you're not losing muscle.
