Thanks! I know I’m looking cellulit-y as heck but that’s just the way my body is - can’t help it.
Now that I’ve been off for a bit I have noticed one change - my appetite has decreased. I’m very happy about that!
Finally! So sorry for the delay. Final stats:
Weight: 124.2 (up 3.2)
Thigh - 21 (up 1)
Waist - 27.5 (up .5)
Chest - unchanged
Shoulders - 42 (up 1.75)
For some reason my shoulders grow pretty easily.
My calories remained the same throughout. I was gaining body fat so I saw no reason to...
My apologies … my trial of Vector and Follidrone is over and I need to post up my final measurements and pics (which I took a week ago) but life has gotten in the way. I promise to do so as soon as I can. Sorry!!
Lawd - it better! If I look that mess again I’ll just cry [emoji23]
Cutting carbs out of one meal and calories from several others just to make room for this today.

Welp. Humbling day in the gym. I decided I’d try high bar squats and that was a big NO thanks to neck. Switched back to low bar and even at light weight my hips were achy. Put 45s and could barely get it up without knee valgus. Taught everyone at the gym some new curse words. Everything felt...
That’s great advice - thanks.
Not really sure that I did anything specific to my hips but I have fibromyalgia and a bulging disk in my neck that could be contributing to the pain. I’ve been squatting twice a week and my body just may be adjusting.
Modified leg day here as my entire body hurts - hips, back (lower and upper), legs. Just a whole body hurt. I’m not sure if it’s a fibromyalgia flare up or just from workouts. Lighter weights and did higher reps or drop sets. No back squats as I know my hips just couldn’t take it today.
Really good chest day. I’m still unsure how to approach guys for a spot without (i) interrupting their workout and (ii) making them think I’m trying to hit on them. It’s a delicate balance. Most of the guys there at the same time as me are either young enough to be my kids or old enough to be my...
Just ordered a box of the Outright bars because butterscotch and PB together is a dream come true for me. I’ll try to make a bite a day fit in my meal plan SOMEHOW!
I was able to go up a bit in weight for back day despite pain. Tried to focus on really contracting muscles without also letting pain interfere - not as easy as I’d hoped. Also - pendlay row form continues to be my nemesis [emoji23]
I definitely get weak and burned out. That’s why I can only do one or two shows a year. I’m jealous of those that can do show after show after show but my old body can’t handle it.
Thanks so much for the kind words! I like being able to explore new lifts while I take time off competing...
