Excited to say I will be running another round of Osta very soon! This time it will be during my cut instead of a bulk but excited to see how it helps maintain my muscle! Goal is to drop 15-20 lbs of fat by mid June!

This is what I am doing right now. Using it during a cut to help maintain my muscle gains as I lose fat. 2nd week and so far it is going good.
 
Sigh*** My friend told me that I am a bit too "alpha". I wish I was a bit more girly, a bit more dainty but I'm just rough around the edges. It doesn't mean that I'm not sensitive. My personality is big and my attitude is usually.... Oh, fcuk it, let's move on, or I don't give a fcuk.

Yes, I should be myself but I would love to be a bit softer. I want to be the dainty girlfriend, not the alpha girlfriend with the ghetto mouth. ️


I'm by no means this bad ass, independent woman. I just want to be girlier.

Puccah you are perfect the way you are!! But if that is what you want it will be just like anything you will have to work on it. I know you can dress girly and look damn good when you do.

I think the solution to this is simply to find s guy that compliments your personality. Sometimes you need to find someone that is a bit more brash than you to make you feel like it's not necessary to be so "alpha". If you "feel" like the alpha, you're going to act like it but if you feel like you're not, chances are you'll allow someone else to be the dominant person.

When you are confident that shiit will be taken care of by your other half, you'll just relax and then you can be dainty and girly and not have to worry about the underlying want Or need to be the top dog.

Whether they admit it or not, I think almost all girls inherently want to feel "protected" and safe. That's not meant to be sexist, it's just nature. Almost every male/female species on earth follows this law of nature but it's impossible if you're dating little boys ha.

Boone, you are absolutely correct. I think the guys I've dated do not compliment me so it makes me question if I'm too rough around the edges. I don't want to be the "alpha", I want to be protected and taken care of. I want to hold hands all the time (soooo sappy)!

And maybe I don't want to change, maybe I just want someone who will compliment my sassy, crazy a**!

I need a big burly guy with a huge personality. :D Someone who can give me piggy back rides.

I feel you are like my wife, alpha at work and with others but at home will let her guard down and be a little more submissive.
 
Hard to say if you are too alpha or not. Only you know this. If you honestly feel it is something you want to change about yourself then you should. However if it was just others opinions making you question yourself then don't sweat it. You certainly would be too alpha for anyone who is introverted, but that is because you are extroverted. People who enjoy a strong personality will enjoy you and those who don't probably won't. Then again you probably won't really enjoy being around people you have to be fake to impress either. It is just too much work.

I would like to soften up a bit. I think even when I go on interviews, my personality is a bit strong.

I'm a bit of both. Introverted when I don't know anyone and extroverted when I do. And yes, I hate being around people to tries too hard to be funny or are fake as hell. It's one of my pet peeves. Everything is not a joke, but we should have fun and enjoy life.

A simple way to soften up your personality is to dress a little more softly. When you go through the trouble to look more "ladylike" you tend to act that way also. If you dress like you don't give a flip then you tend to act flippant as well.
 
You are who you are. I have always liked your strong personality. To many people want to try to change people, when most of the time they are the ones needing a change. But imo only us as individuals can feel the need to change ourselves if there is something we feel needing to. Stay the P we love girl your awesome js!!

I think you are softer than you may seem to come across! You have had many things in life that created the harder outer shell. That's not truly who you are. You just have your guard up. We all display our guards differently! The right job and the right person will see through all of that and like you/love you for who you are!
 
I am an introvert like that too but once I know you, I'm more open.

Thank you, Kat! You're right. I'm sure I'm a bit jaded by everything and a little defeated by life. I just have to stay focus and push forward.
 
puccah8808 i get this all the time also.... Me i don't care, trying to change yourself for someone isn't always the best thing. The way i see you want something done call an Alpha. Use that as an extra motivator, don't let people bring you down and live your life for yourself. Hardwork always pays off in the end, and you might miss an opportunity if you second guess yourself. Get knocked down, brush yourself off and try again. Just my thoughts on it.

Yep. I am seriously considering moving out of this area soon. Except for college, I have lived here my entire life .... and where I went to college was actually worse LOL. I originally stayed in the area because I owned a business ... sold the business in 2003 ..... then the reason for staying was the incredible good job I had with the corporate company who bought my business ... well I left that place in 2010 and have not had an 'incredible job' since then ..... then the reason for staying was because my Oldest son was in school here and I didn't want to uproot him ..... well, he graduates High School in May of this year ... by my calculations I will not have any more reasons to stay here. I know there are much better jobs in my field as well as the field I am trying to make a career change into in other areas .... and some of them with nice cold climates :) ... so all that being said I have finally reached a point in my life where getting out of this area is a real possibility .... Somewhere nice and cool ....

I guess it was a job interview.
Knowing your discipline and dedication in the gym, I would hire you in an instant.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Thank you. I've changed for people before and that was more detrimental and helpful. I want to change for myself and continue to grow as a human being. I just want to be a better version of myself. Sigh* it doesn't help that my mother tells me I'll never find a man because of the way I am.

Thank you so much. I've been hustling like crazy! My work history gives me an opportunity to apply for many positions, and I've applied for hundreds. :/

Well, mostly off Indeed.

I have a lot of experience in:
Management
Accounting- A/P, A/R
Admin
Warehouse
Customer Service
Call Center
Delivery

I did get a job offer but I'm going to pass. Their pay is nowhere near my previous pay. Even with all my experience, they won't work with me.

Been through that also just everything went sideways when i tried to change. I very highly doubt the last part from what i seen ;)....just need to find someone with oven mitts to cool you down once in awhile. Fire and water if you know what i mean. Get yourself happy again and it will all fall in place. Good luck with the job hunt, just keep pushing.
 
Always, always be who you are and never, ever let the opinions of others influence that. You will attract the people that are right for you and the ones that aren't will fade away. Change should always be a result of inner searching. What I mean is as we progress in spiritual awareness we improve who we are on the outside. So change for personal improvement happens inside out, not outside in. Now someone you hold in high regard may influence you to do some soul searching. That's a good thing, the spirit never lies.

:calculating:
So work is by school and it takes 45 mins with traffic to get there. If I take the small roads across town, I can get to the gym by 6:30, train for an hour and hour and a half then get home in time to see my nephew.

:D
 
Sigh* I got a phone call from another job today. They pay more and there's more room to grow. Hopefully I can get an interview today or tomorrow and make my decision.

This is why I hate applying for jobs...

My inner quad around my knee has been hurting for months. I don't know what else to do.

It feels bruised and pulled. Sometimes it feels swollen.

Have you had an MRI done? There's a few peptides and other supplements to help on the recovery, but best find out what is actually wrong. Also you can look into ART therapy, it's painful for some but works great......nice pic ;)

Thank you! :) No, I haven't. I feel like I'm just falling apart. I've been wanting to try out ART therapy but just haven't really looked into it.

I wanted to train today but my quad, shoulder, wrist, and thumb have been nagging me. I guess it'll be a rest day. Maybe cardio later... ️
 
Rest and ice it. I had to take it easy on legs for a few months cause of bad tendonitis in my patella tendons.
 
Ouch, sorry to hear that I'd gladly take the pain from you if I could. Hope it gets better soon.

Go see an ART person, don't wait, don't do cardio just make an appointment. The longer you let soft tissue stuff fester the longer the recovery process takes.
