TGR's Cheetos Chraining

3g on lifting days post w/o (assuming you lift at least 4x/wk) will actually be enough to maintain your load, assuming you were saturated properly prior. I can't remember where I've read it, but I believed the source & go by that now.

That being said, the university studies over 5 yr spans even prove that creatine mono is totally safe on all the organs even at doses as high as 25g, ED for 5 yrs! Zero changes of significance to organ health. So you really can't overdo it; you'll simply be using what you can & wasting the rest.
 
My step son is taking Exercise Science in grade 12.. his teacher told him that Creatine is useless/does nothing. I told him, his teacher is full of sh(t

Tell him to ask his teacher what role creatine plays in the phosphagen system. Aka what makes energy for short term intense exercise. LOL.

I'm not too worried about her 'recommendation'. I was doing 3G on all lifting days (5-6/wk), but pre. I thought the time you took it didn't matter?

One of the nurses was going over what I wrote down as my med list and couldn't even pronounce it. I think somewhere down the line they latched onto 'it's a steroid'.

The DOE is a complete joke. But, almost all government entities are. Including mine.

197.6 (+8.2 in 3 days)

Way too much bloat, lack of BM's, and couch time.

:/

This weight gain could also be due to the meds. BMs amount to 2 to 4 lbs. I wouldn't sweat it.

I'm not... Really. On the inside I'm telling myself I'm gonna get fat....

I'll start posting cals/macros today to hold myself accountable.

Hey, my eye is pointing in the right direction today.

This is an amazing photo. Shows very little damage for such a delicate operation. Thank heaven for the times we live in.

Right? I was just thinking that it wasn't too long ago that an issue like this would go untreated and eventually lead to blindness. Or, at least close.

Glad you made it through ok Thomas. Do they do one eye at a time? or both same day?
Click to expand...

One at a time in case there are difficulties at least one eye works.
 
I'm on par to hit just short of 2400 calories today. It's tough to not eat as bored as I've been.

I've spent most of the last two days on the couch. I want to take ECA or some other thermo(s), but I'm worried that they'll increase pressure behind my eye.

Tomorrow i should be able to increase activity a little bit, and I did get the nurse to say that I could do "light jogging" starting next Thursday.

Nice job with the calories. I was over every single day for the last month and I have 11 pounds to show for it.

Time to cut.

Rouch. Time for a log?

Welcome back, brother!
 
I wouldn't take ECA if you have never taken it before (can't remember). Wait till you are recovered and can exercise.

I've taken it a few times. I remember I didn't really like the way I feel, but no specifics.

You think that applies to all thermos?
 
I ended up at 2,727 calories. Damn couch-time gets me so bored I wanna eat.

222/290/77 with 48g fibers.

The peanut butter and protein bars (x2) set my fats and carbs up so much higher.

I'm going to try for fruit/veggie/juice day today. I can afford a day of super low cals if I can commit.

I'm also going to try and go for a walk. I'm tempted to take a dog, but I think wrestling with the leash is a little too much for what in supposed to be restricted to. Maybe I'll track down a fanny-pack, a moo-moo, and do a long-stride power walk. Lol
 
Slow and steady brother. You don't want to chance the dog jumping up while playing and catching your eye, right? Veggie and juice day. I like that. I have one of those VitaMix machines so I might crank that sucker today as well.

Good call.

VitaMax, what's that?

Yeah, I think I'll stick to it. Maybe a protein shake or two. These tangerines are awesome tasting.

VitaMix is built like a tank.
 
I was thinking if buying a ninja blender with the attachments this week. Does anyone have one? They seem like a quality product

I don't, but if you get it let me know how you like it. Our 15yo blender is leaking.

Probably with a high caffeine content.

If you look at something like that PX Black you'd probably be ok because it is lower on the stim side. But effective - I have been taking it for 6 days and really helped me control cravings and keep my numbers in check.

Fany pack eh... girl!

The protein bars you speak of with the high fat content - this is why I love those Quest Bars. Low fat, basically no carbs

I have heard great things about Ninja's from people at work.

I have some with a lower stim effect that I'll use up first. Maybe I'll wait another day or two first.

I love those too. I'm trying to use up the freebies that I have in my drawer. At least I've stayed away from the Reece's and pop tarts.

I'd give it a few days for sure bro. In fact you get the other eye done in 2 weeks? if so, wait till after that. Not much sense starting a thermo to use it for a week.

I was wondering if those freebies were just that! Reese slammed into a pop tart - good stuff...

Made baked brussel sprouts, finally, with the intentions of being good. They're so tasty.

So, I'll be having chicken, goulash, rice, and brussel sprouts. The fruits I've had today already threw my carbs in a tailspin...

Really? never been a fan of them.. perhaps prepared that way they are good?

I was never a fan until the last couple years. Very tasty, IMO, and more so baked than steamed. I got the baked idea from G-Wrench.

How do you prepare them? like do you put something on them or simply toss them in at 350 for 30 minutes?

It was supposed to be tossed in olive oil, but I sprayed it with Pam instead and sprinkled salt/pepper on it. 375° x35-45m or 400°x30-35m.

Dunno. First time ever having it was tonight. It was macaroni pasta with what tasted like spaghetti sauce, meat, and veggies. Lol.

That sounds LEGIT. Glad the eye is healing up nicely; hope the other goes just as smooth.

If you decide to check out that PX Black, don't forget AM5 coupon code if you use OrbitNutrition.com - brotha's gotta get it cheap as possible, amirite? ;) PX Black definitely does some work on appetite the times I've tried it.
