TGR's Modified PowerBuilding v2.0

Mortgage is one of those bills that makes you crazy with insecurity over time - this is really going to make her feel great! You sir are a good son!
 
Thanks everyone. She was speechless and so happy.

She told us she's been gradually getting worse at getting around and when we were leaving a restaurant she could barely make it to the truck that was pulled up to the door. She's too young for this. We are at the ER now. ☹️

That's one hell of a gesture, but 70s is definitely not too young for health issues lol.


My dad never even made it to 70.


Either way, I hope everything is OK.

Not too young for issues, but too young IMO to not be able to walk 15 feet.

Sorry about your dad.

And thanks.
 
Man y'all are scaring me with this talk. Pops just had his 60th last week.

Thomas, hopefully its just generalized weakness from a simple UTI or something. Hope it all checks out.

She doesn't eat barely at all. I hope that's it, but we've known her nutrition has been an issue but she just won't eat.

Well that's definitely an issue too. My grandmother is the same way. Geriatrics can be so stubborn!
 
Her sodium is "critically low". They are going to admit her.
 
Hope everything works out man. Taking stress off of someone is one of the best things you can do for a person. Your a good dude

Leaving the hospital for the night and now this. What a day.
 
Oh no! Mechanical problem? Hope your Mom is alright. Have the hospital have a nutritionist talk with her. That generation will follow a doctor's orders but never listen to us "kids".
 
Goddamn dude I feel for you...sometimes life can be a total bitch. I like to think it will even out like creamy peanut butter ya Hurd

It appears as though the transmission may have cracked. Not sure, I'll take it to a shop later in the week.

The docs seem to think it's more than malnutrition. The loss of appetite is a symptom of the problem. Something else is causing the sodium to be so low.

When seeing those sad posts I don't know how to respond. I wish that everything works out for your mom.
 
Thank you everyone. She's being released today. She has maintained her levels and her energy has greatly improved.
 
I've been out of the gym so long and inconsistently I'm at the point of low motivation to go.

Going anyway. I guess I'll do light full body stuff
 
I went with squats and working on some cues.

On treadmill with incline. No not sure how long I'll go.

Notes:

Working on widening my squat and push the knees further out. Feels better on the warmups but I rolled forward on the balls of my feet on the heavier sets. I'll jump back into dieting and keep squats light as I work on form. 365 felt heavy but that's expected. Going to paint some, then make some protein cookies, then FSU football!!
 
Nice leg work. You'll regain your mojo.
 
Keep showing up and working hard. It'll come back. Fake it til you make it lol

Exactly this Reg. I know where you're at, i had the same struggles not too long ago. Just gotta get some work in even if it isnt your normal amount, as that could just run your motivation into the ground even further.

Although, I really think what kind of "reset" me was just taking that entire week off when my brother and I took that trip out west then coming back to a different program.
 
When life gives you lemons, squat. It won't fix life's problems, but there is something therapeutic about fighting to deal with that weight your shoulders. It's a metaphor for life - you may leave whipped, but you're still alive and tougher for what you've survived.
 
Thanks guys for the support. It helps.

Made some cookies tonight.

I'm giving away protein:

Why do you hate winning more than one tub?
 
Lol no. I don't want to hog free-ish product (if I do win)

If you're fine with it, then I shall play, sir.

You shall play. It's weekly, so if you win then others have many coming weeks. Vice versa.

I'm pooped. Endurance is down from my sporadic visits.

3rd day in a row that weather has felt amazing. Low humidity and feels like it's mid 70's in the AM.
