 Is your weight scale working fine? Since you said your weight didn't go up post cheat meal, might want to hold a plate or two and see if it registers the same weight increase. Just throwing my two cents.

The scale seems to be fine. I always weigh myself just before bed (because I've always liked noting the difference between my night and morning weight for no particular reason) and last night I was 237 pounds.
Yeah, I wake up to piss about 3 or 5 times every night. Thankfully I fall back asleep right away 99% of the time.

I thought it was annoying for me to get up twice, but it's good you go back to sleep.

Just because we work hard in the gym doesn't mean we can't have fun (or just be a complete goofball, depending on your perspective).
Great delts/traps/calves workout tonight. The santa hat made me very hot, but I left it on because I was in a silly mood.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays JSF!

I wrote an article this morning with some tips for getting big guns. I hope some of you find it useful.

Hee hee, cute pics! In the first one, you really look like you're singing carols-- Peanuts/Merry Christmas Charlie Brown-style. 
Best holiday gym pictures ever!

John, since you seem to have about 50,000 dumbbells in those pictures, are they your presents to give to your friends?

Hey John, I have a quick question. How often do you alter your calories? You mentioned you will do a 4200 calorie diet on training days at 235 lbs, but when you reach say, 220 lbs, would you change anything about your diet? and how?

The Santa picks were goofy. Now I'm embarrassed by them.

While cutting I've never used my scale weight as a measuring stick to alter my caloric intake, I've always gone by actual fat loss results. If fat loss stalls for a couple of weeks, an adjustment will probably be in order.

Wow, I didn't workout in a sleeveless shirt tonight for, like, the first time ever.
Tonight was chest and abs. I had a headache for the second Monday in a row. 
After last week's awesome workout with a splitting headache, deciding to go through with this one was easy. Same thing happened: once I got a few sets out of the way, the endorphins kicked in. Headache gone, great workout.
One picture from tonight.

You're looking LARGE in the new avatar...sleeves or no sleeves. I'm amazed at how fast you added so much mass. Great job.

Last year I put up a comparison image called "4 Decembers", which showed my progress over the previous 3 years. I thought I'd add to that image with another "December" photo.
It's cleverly called "5 Decembers".
