If I smoked pot I would weigh 400lbs !!
I will say that it does make it very hard to be consistent with diet. I always do better with my physique goals when we were not smoking but Jo basically ends up feeling pretty guilty for smoking if I don't smoke with her. So I do. Plus, it isn't like taking the edge off the end of the day feels horrible or anything.
Yeah no kidding. I know several serious strength athletes who are hardgainer types and have taken up weed to help keep their weight up.
Meanwhile I have a bottle of Controlled Labs Black Hole in my cupboard that I literally have never had a reason to even try.
Right, I would have zero use for something to increase my appetite. If it weren't for smoking Jo would probably still be under 100lbs, or worse... but we won't get into that.
Wow!!! Really?! That’s crazy! I don’t understand people sometimes! To go through it at all is bad enough but I really hate it for Jo!!
Yeah, especially for that too happen while I am out of town...
So I have been sick as a dog, the flu took me out last Wednesday. I woke up my last day in Austin sick as a dog. Felt a bit feverish and disoriented and weak. I knew something was up and called the wife to tell her I was getting sick. By 10:00AM that morning I was just wrecked, burning up, and exhausted. Let me tell you that driving 3.5 hours in that mindset was not fun. My eyes were trying to roll in the back of my head a few times... I got home and had over a 103 temp that I maintained over the next 4 days... Luckily, she got me a Dr appointment for Thursday morning, and I got some Tamiflu in me. However that was pretty much it. I got in Bed when I got back from the doc's and literally did not get back out of bed for a good 36 hours.
I haven't had the flu in over 20 years and I had forgotten how friggen horrible it was. I looked up some caloric consumption stuff based on calories it requires to increase body temp and a 7 degree increase means my metabolism was running at about a 50% increased rate which explains why I dropped about 8lbs... Shivering is anaerobic and burns through glycogen like nothing. When i weighed in once I was able to eat again I was 200.1 fully dressed with sneakers on, which I am normally about 208-210 clothed. So I am guessing my body weight is around 195 right now.
I was hoping I would at least be looking much leaner at this weight but I look like I am just smaller. My waist dropped by bout 2 inches and the skin loosened back up a good bit. Going to take a bit to get it all back together. Right now not really that concerned with size like I have been mentioning.
So I haven't lifted or exercised in any way shape or form since my workouts Monday and Tuesday of last week. I may get out in the garage tonight or something, but am pretty sure that I will be tasking us with getting some of the house back in order. Getting most of the grout up off the floor, sweeping it up real good and mopping it then putting things back in their place at least for a bit. I think I need a week or two of down time real soon. My frustration levels with the house being in such disorder are really starting to skyrocket.
