Hi Optimist! I just finished my first week of BFL today! Have you started yet? Maybe we can help each other stay motivated to stick with it on "blah" days.

I'm having a hard time with the six meals too. What I've been doing is eating my 3 regular meals and adding a snack in the afternoon and something small before bed. I've been wondering if that will have me eating too much food, but I wasn't eating a huge amount of calories before, and for the past few days I've been really hungry, and I am working my body harder than ever before. So I'm not going to worry about reducing calories.

For cardio I run in my neighborhood, and I have some nice fast-paced mixes on my iPod. I lift at home and my soundtrack is soap operas! They don't require my full attention, I can listen along without watching.
