Thursday 4 September

Another sleepless night. And it was very noticeable at gym. I was flat ...

Des also told me that we're not progressing as well as normal. He was expecting me to get stronger sooner, and suggested I start taking USN's Creatine X 4 and Voltage. Should help me get to a higher level sooner.

Going by today's 'performance', I suppose he's right. I did feel like I was lacking energy and that's apparently what Voltage does - helps get your energy levels up. And the creatine should help build muscle.

When I mentioned it to my wife, she was against it. To her, it sounded like taking steroids. Now, that's something I'd never do. Yes, I want a nice body, but I don't want to look like one of those beefcakes that you see at gym ...

Googled 'creatine' and according to Wikipedia, there doesn't really seem to be any adverse effects to taking it, and it doesn't sound anything like steriods, so I'm going to give it a try.

I know I've lost weight but I also know that I could have done that regardless. What I want to get out of the USN challenge is to get a nice, lean, muscular body. So I need to build some visible muscle as well ... (without ending up looking like He-man).
