Ok, I've been doing this powerlifting thing for the past 8 weeks or so... its working great actually, I've seen my strength go up, and my fat go down, the only thing is... its boring! Deadlift, bench press, pull-ups, every single day. So, it's time for something I never get tired of... boxing. I play softball on Mondays and Thursdays, and in the morning Monday through Friday I go to the Y before work and train. I have time to do 4 rounds of shadow-boxing, 6 rounds of heavy bag, 6 rounds of speed-bag, 15 min on the jump rope, then I superset push-ups/pull-ups/tricep dips.
Since I'm working my muscles more than when I was powerlifting I am feeling the pain in the mornings again (especially after a softball night) So I'm back on the protein, I have one scoop with soy milk right after I work out, and a protein bar about an hour or so after the shake, then I eat my normal fruits throughout the day. After a softball game I'll have a scoop before bed so I can get up in the morning (I swear, it helps). I've been drinking coffee in the morning while I work out since I've heard mixed reviews about it, but I'm going to try and cut back.
I just got back from camping for a week... and I gained about 2 lbs :P I'm back though, shouldn't take too long to get back down to my old weight.
I hope I can get some people to go to the Y in the morning with me so I can train with people... non of the gyms around here have training classes in the morning. (I'd really like to train down at the community center downtown again... some good guys to spar with down there)
Oh well, that's what's happening in my fitness life right now.

I hear ya. I like the powerlifting and heavy lifting but I get bored with it quick. That's why I switched to crossfit, lot's of dynamic workouts with some heavy powerlifting thrown in here and there. Tough to become bored with it.
