Don't judge a book by its cover, unless it has bacon on the cover, then it is a good book.
-Me
So I started working out with my football team and it has been brutal. Not the weightlifting so much as the core exercises. I have gained 5 pounds in the week that I have been doing this. 5 pounds might not sound like a lot, but for me to gain 5 pounds in only a week is amazing. I didn't break 100 pounds till late freshman year.
I drink whey protein in the morning mixed with milk, at lunch and after workouts with water and at dinner with milk again. I haven't had soda since I started working out, and trust me it was the hardest part of it so far. Once you stop though your body starts craving water. I still have a while to go but I can't wait for the end results.
So for discussion value, if anyone here is thinking about working out or is going to work out and would like to know what the first couple workouts does to your body, please feel free to ask. I thought I was in shape until these workouts .
