Since my last post, I have been training to the best of my ability but have only been able to manage 2 times a week or 3 times consecutively and have found I cannot press due to wrist tendonitis (that's only getting worse).
It became very difficult to eat after I posted, in that when I would eat any more than a couple "medium-sized" meals a day I would feel so awful it was detrimental to my function. This last week has been a bit of a comeback, alone accounting for half the weight gain in the previous few weeks and I've finally begun to eat breakfast without getting sick immediately afterward.
I'm certainly not drinking a gallon of milk a day or eating four small meals, despite my best consistent effort and haven't gained 10-15 pounds in the first two weeks of strength training as Rip may have "expected." But progress nonetheless.
Thank you,
