Thanks, and a belated Merry Christmas to everyone! I hope everyone had an amazing time with their families and loved ones!
Looks like everything is recovering really well….pull-ups followed by shoulder press is about as good a test as you could do.
Yeah, they would make some nice pics.
I have had 2 today but I have been passing them for 8 hours now. So not too bad. Not too good either, but the cookies sure are. Merry Christmas to me.
Anything with Reeses in it is my weakness, especially if my wife brings home any Reeses ice cream. I tell her to please just hide it in the back of the freezer and maybe I won’t see it.
Oh yeah, add ice cream to the mix and it ain't gonna be easy!Anything with Reeses in it is my weakness, especially if my wife brings home any Reeses ice cream. I tell her to please just hide it in the back of the freezer and maybe I won’t see it.
They definitely are. My wife did go a bit overboard on candy as well and that will take a bit longer to go away, but I also have a bit more resolve there and willingness to throw out if need be.
Looks like hard work and muscle memory is bringing you back quickly.
I'm going to have to throw some away. just got way too many!
Yessir! I have grown enough to feel confident in having some respectable size on the way back down.
Thanks! I was stoked about them too!
Thanks, I think my largest was 18.5 with a pump and I would be willing to bet I am right at 18 with a nice pump.
I think I will too, but most of what I have left are hard candies which can come in handy for some intra workout carbs. So I might keep them around as long as I don't find myself binging on them. It all comes down to how the will power is holding up. Either way, they will be put away or thrown away once I am officially cutting up.
That's good yall are going out for dinner this evening. Means she is feeling better.
Thanks! Unfortunately the workout didn't happen. Has two impromptu meetings during our lunch time to set up an massive arbitration we have to set up next week. The main players are in a different time zone so no other options. At least I will get back an hour of the PTO I used earlier in the week.
Yes Sir, she broke her fever last night and said she is feeling quite a bit better. Her voice has come back quite a bit as well!That's good yall are going out for dinner this evening. Means she is feeling better.
Sometimes Longhorn will have Buffalo Trace in stock. Will go perfect with your meal
I might have to give it a shot. However probably not since she won't be drinking since on antibiotics I may not either. Depends on if anyone else there wants a drink to be honest.
It's Bourbon baby!
Thanks, and yeah I love their Delmonico Ribeye and a couple of the Fresno peppers to add some heat to the situation. Plus their Wild West Shrimp appetizer is the bomb!
Love that Wild West Shrimp, and nothing like a good steak to celebrate a birthday.Thanks! Unfortunately the workout didn't happen.

LMAO' In the middle of posting this had impromptu meeting number 3 for this arbitration... I think someone forgot today was supposed to be a slow day for me!
Oh well this gives the tender spot in my shoulder one more day to improve so I can kill it tomorrow!
Good news is I fasted until 2:30 today then had some rainbow sushi, kept it very light so it won't get in the way of dinner tonight!
Yes Sir! It was good stuff, rolled fresh right in front of me.Sushi
Thanks we had a great celebration! Even had an old friend that came into town from Florida for something else surprise her for dinner.
Thank You Sir!Love that Wild West Shrimp, and nothing like a good steak to celebrate a birthday.
And Happy Birthday to the Mrs.
Yeah, I am a fan too! My wife just looks at me eating them like I have lost my mind. I like them Roasted with olive oil kosher salt, pepper and sometimes garlic. I also love the recipe they have at Longhorn where they have them cooked in some red pepper and I am guessing honey.
Welcome to the cookie monster club, LOL. My weakness for sure. My wife ended up making iced sugar drop cookies for the holidays and those things are like crack. Even after giving away a bunch to our friends on NYE, there's still one batch sitting on the counter...
Thanks, I didn't get one in though. I misstepped on one of the stairs at my cousin's lake house and caught myself about 2 steps down then woke up with my back all kinds of tight, and opted not to push a lower body session and let myself heal.
Right backatcha!
Ain't it a beeyotch! We got rid of the Christmas batch and I will be damned if Sage didn't make more cookies last night! I have no excuses now so those are to be left alone. My goal is ZERO cookies from this batch!
I sure hope your legs are thicker than your arms!
Johnny Bravo should not be the goal. I need a little more on both! Of course it always feels that way.
It's nice to be hungry again isn't it?!?!?
Sure is !!

1/3/23 - Morning Weight 224.3 - not too bad, not too good but better than hitting 232 like I did on my anniversary trip! We should not see 224 again until my next bulk.
Feeling better today, going to get a session in tonight. I have a Upper & Lower Push / Upper & Lower Pull workout planned to start doing but I might hold off until next week just to feel my lower back out.
Fasted today until 2:00 PM but wanted to start getting food in early enough to have a good session tonight. I walked 10 blocks each way to the Chipotle downtown and got a double steak burrito bowl with black beans, brown rice, pico de gallo, peppers and a lot of salsa. With all the walking my insulin sensitivity should have been up a little before the meal. I only ate half of it and am about to finish it up to fuel my session tonight.
Not exactly, but I am planning to get down around 200, and seeing how I look. I was 204 in my avatar and if I look like that or close I will be pretty darn happy. However I might even go for 190-195 if I get the bug to want to see what it looks like.
These are some of mineyeah man the avatar is pretty f'ing yoked. if life were a video game we could just use our favorite picture of ourselves until we run out of free guys and have to hit reset
I have a collection of photos I call motivation in case I ever want to get that lean again haha
