ive been in iraq for three months and have grown like never before. I guess its because lifting is an escape for me. ive been head to head with my bros but i am the only one with love handles. so i decided to step up the cardio and lose some b/f before i get home to the wife. i cut down on carbs increased my cardio and im losing the fat pretty quick, problem is im so weak. I feel like im shrinking. i expected to lose a little, but its so depressing watching the other guys lift heavier and heavier while i head over to the stairmaster. just needed to vent, thanks.
