Thanks Kleen. I'm somewhat just operating on autopilot tbh. There are so many deadlines hitting all at once at work that I'm having to really pull "overtime" (I'm salaried though, so no benefit... -
You have already had lots of good advice in here, so I can say just keep your head up, and don't dwell to much on the why, but focus on positive things, while you keep doing what is needed and I...

that might be why just that little bit of xpg dhea seemed to serve me pretty well with no noticeable sides. it wasn't that I felt something, it was more that I just noticed even keel balance...

Estrogen is one of those things where the right amount adds tremendous well-being and balance to every aspect of health. But if it gets too high, you will be irritable and have issues. So it...

One thing I notice with almost every one of us here in AM is that after a really big hard push, there is a period of struggle bus, be it mentally, or CNS, or injuries. You've made massive progress...
-
Thanks for the advice fellas. Always appreciated. Yeah. Sometimes for me vacation is a double-edged sword. It's such a big build up, that the let down after can kind of mess with me head. Back in...

I agree with Hyde and Jim….munch on some carrots, broccoli, maybe an apple or some blueberries or blackberries. That should give you a nice clean boost without gaining fat.
-
Agree with everything Hyde said. Even berries are super high fiber and low calorie to volume. I personally like blackberries, but most any berry would be ok.
-
And don’t sweat the missed workouts like you said, just do what you can to get back on the course & try to roll with life as you can.
-
Well, not going to lie gents. It's been a rough go of it since being back. One, as mentioned my daughter was sick with the stomach bug on something she picked up, so that naturally just threw...

My brovice is try to add in more veggies or low cal foods on top to raise satiety. You’re not going to get fat munching on some extra baby carrots, broccoli, celery sticks, cherry tomatoes. Maybe...

dapack replied to the thread DaPack..Fighting Age One Day at a Time.Agreed. Would just be trying to hold and hope for a better day since deads were horrible last meet.
-
Yeah man June would be a really fast turnaround. Tough to make progress in such a short time anyway.

nice thing about being gymrats is that if our a.d.d. kicks in there is always another goal to chase short term to keep us focused, but we'll always be somehow strength and fitness focused. I'll...
-
Agreed, and yet, I keep slipping back into the trap. Right now I am trying to decide what my final form will be so to speak. Am I going to try to rebuild a ton of muscle with intention once out of...

The keto thing has been really easy the last 2 days. I thought it would be more difficult switching from carbs as long as it’s been since doing the cyclic keto last fall, but I’ve felt great...

dude that is so true. I've probably said 100 times over the years that even if the supplements off me a 1/2% improvement, my discipline and output are probably 99.5% more on point. although...

I think a big part of the top paragraph is that when not spending the money on the supplements you don't have the same urgency to stick to things. When supplementing non-staple items most of us...

I could be wrong here but I do think this is where guys like you and I need to be careful and dilligent because I sometimes notice the same thing, so then its easy to get a little sloppy. All the...

A few other random thoughts this AM. Feel free to skip if all you care about is workout stuff: 1. I was off all supplements during my vacation, not even a multi or anything. No pre-WO, etc. I...

Honestly wished I had gotten in more workouts since it was well stocked and kept up, plus good lighting! Thanks! Definitely was a great trip. We're already trying to figure out if/when we could go...

Here's the resort photo since I couldn't attach all of them at once.

Thanks fellas, got back late last night after a flight delay. But immigration/customs was a breeze and the trip was great! Spent the entire time essentially at the pool (our kids are fish!), but...

Had a good PT / Chiro session yesterday then went home and lifted with my daughter. She is trying to get back into it so we have been working out here and there together. Her schedule is way... -

That was my thinking, there will be zero gym access and I'm guessing limited walking where we are going but lots of swimming if I want to. Generally speaking I'm going to go under the assumption...

Oh yeah on the nutrition, that is actually very smart. Getting your body out of the famine mode before going will make it a lot less likely that you will store as much fat from your looser eating...
