Thanks guys.
Billay, yes I did lose weight. I went from 220 down to 200ish quickly (under a month). Looking back, I think the fact that I heavy cardio 7-8 hours a day while working caused me to level out on muscle growth. I simply wasn't eating enough, and my cardio was eating up the growth nutrition.
Thanks Marcellus. I have to remind myself I'm 42, not 25 anymore. It's probably a good idea to cut down on the carbs so I don't "fat out", or have energy fluctuations that honestly cause me to be lazy when I should be hitting it. I can always increase them if I see a level-off.
I have some casein protein for my body to consume while I sleep. I read that it helps, but man it can cause some weird dreams!
I love beer, too.
