Hello, It sounds good to me, but you really should cross post on the exercise and fitness board. There's a poster called Naxis. She is excellent. She'll not only tell you what to eat, but what exercises to do and how many reps. She seems to know a lot about weight lifting.

rly,

If you want to freeze the Crystal Light into popsicles, make them double strength and add an ounce of lemon juice to make them tasty. Just plain (1/2 gallon to a tubette) isn't very flavorful....anything ice cold tastes "less."
So that's a tub to a quart of water plus an ounce lemon juice.
