If you are only going to be out 2 weeks, just keep the protein intake up, and quality carbs, and you should retain your muscularity. In fact, you will probably come back refreshed and stronger. Do not try to go real heavy the first week back, do one week of acclimation first. Good luck.

Lucky you, You only had 35 lbs to lose, now me on the other hand LOL. Counting by 10's to see how I look. :) Two more weeks might seem like forever but it will pass by. Soon enough you will be doing the gaining mass diet and lifting routine. Take care and remember you are an inspiration. I think I have seen them refer to you as the savage man. Two more weeks and savage man will be back!!! :) Melissa -------------- Attitudes are contagious, is yours worth catching?
