Last night I went to GNC to get some more Muscle Milk. The first tub I got was “Light”. I was able to get twice as much of the “regular” formula for less money, so I am trying that. Staying with the Chocolate flavor.

There are about 390 calories for a serving of the regular which means I have to really stay active to burn off the extra calories. A serving does have 32g protein vs. 25g for the “Light” formula. My thought process now is that if I use the Muscle Milk to burn muscle, that means I can work harder, grown more muscle and in the end, be burning more calories. If I were not working out so hard there would be no reason to be taking the Muscle Milk. People have to understand that a protein drink does not grow muscle, work grows muscle.

There is a real art to getting the MM blended. For me, I must use a blender, not a shaker. I put in ice, some water and a banana and start that blending. I very carefully add the MM, just a bit at a time. Doing that stops any clumps. If you just dump the scoop full of MM into the blender you are sure to end up with some of the power not mixed.

I don’t know if the Muscle Milk is really working, however, I have noticed that my arms “feel” bigger, if that makes sense. Also, I have noticed my abs are tighter. Might be wishful thinking but maybe the MM is having an impact. My weight has stayed the same, 229 this morning. I float between 225 and 230.

It’s not going to hurt anything to keep using the MM for awhile, just to see if I can say it has helped.

The guy at GNC asked me if I was taking multi vitamin. I made the mistake of say “No”, not because I don’t, just because I did not want to talk about vitamins. Mistake…. he then tried to convert me. He was just doing his job but sometimes I just want to buy what I picked out and not play 20 questions.
