MidwestBeast's "Killing Time" Log -- Trying to Stay Positive Until My Thyroid Works
Well, I was kind of thrilled to not have any sponsored logs or obligations for a while, so I could lay off from AM a bit other than to help other people out, but here I am again. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I need this to keep my mind in a good place. Lately, my motivation has been much less as I've found that seemingly no matter what I do in the gym or the kitchen, my body composition stays the same or worsens. It will likely continue to be this way until my thyroid situation levels out.
That being said, I'm tired of having the negative outlook that I've allowed myself to fall prey to the last couple months and I'm ready to get back to where i was (at least in some regard).
I'm going to be making some changes in how I do things. I normally work a 5-day split, but I'm condensing it down to a 3-day split until the thyroid situation is fixed. I will be doing a push-day, pull-day and leg-day. For the most part, the style will be max-OT training in order to keep strength up so when it's time to get back at it, I won't have to start back over.
I will also be adding in a lot more cardio; just to build my lungs up, not for fat-loss as that doesn't really matter at the moment.
I will be going week-by-week and adding more mileage each week. Today was the start of this and I will be netting 1 mile each day. Next week will be 2 miles each day, and so on.
This will be a virtually supplement free time for me. I'm currently using a multi-vitamin, extra vitamin E for my hair, and fish oil. Creatine monohydrate and glutamine are taken with my post-workout shake (creatine taken on all days). I'm using Revamp for another 3 weeks until my 12-week stimulant break has been reached. I don't know if and when I'll start using stimulants again. Pre-workout, I'm still using some Adamantium (1 scoop) with 2g extra LCLT and occasionally a little Creatine Nitrate with Vitamin C. That's it.
To those of you who know me, I'll appreciate your presence in here for encouraging words to keep my head in a good place and keep from falling back into the habit of eating garbage and being a couch potato.
Today is the start of a new life for me.
