Restarting

[iparatroop]

Well was a great bad day in the gym lol. Had pretty severe back spasms after my first set of warm up squats that lasted through the entirety of my session. Then at the very end of my routine I managed to drop a plate on my hand which was kind enough to break it. Fml. But had a good lift session honestly. Gonna grub then I'll get my workout posted.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Ouch..

[gymwrenchwv]

About the hand... Bruising already presenting itself around the knuckle on my lil finger. Accompanied by some swelling. Limited to no movement from my lil finger. Gonna ice it most the day and re-evaluate in the am. Had enough broken bones to know it's a break but not sure of the severity just yet. If there's no improvement by morning I'll go to the doc. Just hesitant to do so because hand in cast = no gains lol

Well under the advice of friends I went to the doc just so I knew for sure what was up. This was the diagnosis: I have an avulsion fracture. Also known as a boxers fracture. Not much to do as far as treatment goes. Just baby it and got some stupid splint thing to wear when not at home. The docs advice about lifting over the next 4-8 weeks was this " pain is mother natures way of saying take it easy" so lift withing comfort he said. So no major set backs. Back in the swol shop tomorrow

Docs are bi*tches. Pain is weakness leaving the body.

I kid...

[gymwrenchwv]

Well starting my day a lil later than usual. Sunday is my off day. Usually do dome core work throughout the day but my hand and back r hurting pretty bad. Shoulders got that good soreness going on. Ain't been this sore since I been back at it. Think I'll let the body rest. Got the dog and kid to play with. I'm sure that'll help me burn some cals.

 

[gymwrenchwv]

So looking for advice once again. So to anyone following I previously laid out my diet and macro plan. Which has been sufficient till this week. And it's not a fail everyday either. But sometimes I just feel like I'm starving. And it lasts all day. I'm sticking to my plan because I refuse to sabotage myself. Anytime I'm hungry and it's not meal or shake time I slam a bottle of water and drive on. In the neighborhood of 12-15 bottles a day. Not looking to shove any more supps down my gullet at the current time. Any suggestions on how to beat this feeling successfully??

 

[snagencyV2.0]

yeah - strong mind & willpower
buckle down soldier

on the sup side (yes I know what you said above, but..) our PX Black is an awesome fat-burner with built-in appetite suppressant for those that struggle with containment or cravings..check into it, and if you'd like maybe we can set you up with a bottle if you give us feedback on it

lastly - take a day every week, and add 25-30% cals to your menu, as well as partaking in some things you normally do not eat (within reason, of course) .. this will help to quash those feelings, give you a day to look forward to every week, and refresh you going forward on your goals

My buckle is down... So far down I've had to buy new belts just since u started helping me out lol. And logging feedback on supps?? Gladly. Don't have a whole lot on my agenda besides logging here. I think that's part of my problem to. I feel like the days I feel so hungry is partially because I have extra time to sit down and think about being hungry. Using eating as a boredom attacker which is detrimental I know. Also it's not something I can't drive through I just hate that hungry feeling lurking around all day.

 

[snagencyV2.0]

boredom is a mofo..an idle mind is the devil's playground
I smoked cigarettes for yrs as a youth -- simply out of sheer boredom, nothing better to do
keep the mind occupied

oh - and pm me your full name and addy
we'll shoot you out some product

This is a huge reason why the majority of the population is over weight. When you are bored food just helps pass the time.

Try upping your liquid intake during those times of boredom as well. A lot of the time needing hydration is mistaken as hunger hence the carb cravings to an extent.

 

[gymwrenchwv]

Well thanks for the advice from all. As always its greatly appreciated and soaked in. Imma start by having a lil cheater dinner of some stuff that's been sitting in the cabinets that I been avoiding like the Black Plague. I'll get some pics up and with my indulgences I'll keep it within reason. Plus starting tomorrow I'll try doubling down on my h2o. Also doctor up my schedule a lil to help fight the boredom.

There ya go. Plan plan plan.

I've been drinking so much water for so long I had to start using some of the Powerade Zero drops to help get it all down. Helps quite a bit.

Yeah water and protein is all I drink. Been looking for 0 cal/carb drinks to add some spice to it. Found two things I don't mind drinking that im gonna try and work into my daily drink rotation. Monster zero ultra and sobe life water blood orange mango. Both have. 0 cal and zero refined sugars. The sobe has. 7 carbs but no sugar so I can work to fit it in without hating myself lol

 

[gymwrenchwv]

Subbed and silently reading lol. Edit: my fat thumb hit the send button. I have had this uncontrollable carb craving where it's all I want to eat. I have been slacking on my water intake, that makes a lot of sense now Monty.

Well read away my friend. As everyone has been so eager to help me I hope their and possibly my advice helps u go the distance with ur goals

 

[snagencyV2.0]

Edit: my fat thumb hit the send button.

you have a fat thumb @ 165lbs?? :blink:
how disproportionate you must be sir

water (and staying constantly hydrated) is your friend
one of the single most overlooked things in bbing/sup taking/bodycomp, let alone GP just in life
if you wait to drink till you are thirsty, you have already waited too long

 

[gymwrenchwv]

This is my dinner for this evening. No idea on cals/macros. Might attempt at figuring post ingestion lol but no promises. But what u see is
6oz. 97% fat free chicken breast.
1/4 cup quinoa
1/2 sweet potato. Plain
Some mushrooms and sugar snap peas I baked with the chicken
1 garlic cheddar biscuit

If I'm still feeling hungry I got two hard boiled eggs in there but pretty sure I won't make it that far.

 

[gymwrenchwv]

Well just knocked out some foam rolling and lax ball work. Threw in some static stretching and some assisted stretches with some help from my trx. Gonna mix up my casein shake. Toss down my last dose of supps for the day and call it quits. Tomorrow starts a fresh week. I'll keep posting my routines as I have been. But this week will be my regular schedule.

 

[gymwrenchwv]

Rise and shine.... Oh wait I beat the sun up. Well Monty hopefully ur kids are doing better. Mine awoke screaming with what I believe is an ear infection and nasty cough. She's been crying for a couple hours pulling at her ears saying it hurts it hurts. So gym will be postponed and off to the doc first chance I get this morning
