Positive Changes…
I last wrote the manblog on Sunday. That night I enjoyed 3/4 of a bottle of wine and 2 slices of pizza. I have not had a drink since, not tonight either, once I’m done writing this I’m getting in the sauna for a cycle.
Sunday, we picked up Charlotte’s Xmas present, a boston terrier. It’s crazy cute and is the icing on the cake of her new happiness.
Since Sunday, I’ve taken 2 shots of TRT, Monday and Wednesday. I’ve lifted Monday, Tuesday, and today (Thursday). I’m feeling stronger and more solid. I bought a new pair of work pants, my fat pants were falling off me, and now the skinny ones are also. I’m into the 220’s.
I want to lift constantly…I always have the energy to put in an hour of heavy lifting. The “personal trainer” has directed me to stop the fasting and hit the high protein, which I’ve done. I realize that fasting is raising my cortisol, and that’s the last thing anyone needs, and certainly not a 50-year-old dude.
The not drinking may be helping, but the weekend starts tomorrow, and I intend to have a drink…or 2…after I lift or run.
Running is next on my to-do list.
It will be 30 days before I hit max testosterone levels. I have no idea what to expect.
….And now….The Weather….
TBag is down to 146, down 6 pounds since December 1st. All without the hula hoop! She is feeling good about herself.
Slab isn’t screwnig around, down to 135.8, and offering a 13″ bicep along with this poem:
A 5am rise to get exercise.
This brought no gym pump
Only a big snow dump
and 2 hours of shoveling outside.
She may not be Keats, but she is better looking and can likely bench more…(If Keats digs himself out)
Jeremy started Tai Chi last week, dropping the average age in the class by 15 years. Jeremy has spent the week staring at an 80-year-old whom he describes as a methodical and confident warrior.
Maybe try yoga, there you can stare at 28-year-old women methodically performing many poses, including warrior…..I may have to get back to yoga!
Jeremy does a lot of adventure travel and has a Gorilla Trek in Uganda on his radar, so cool.
Krista has too much on her plate to diet, weigh in, or much else…just trying to breathe. The occasional donut, maybe.
Russett breaks into the 230’s, Melissa (his gf) is doing his meal prep, and he has been declining McDonald’s at work. Still no measurements, he isn’t interested at this time.
Yours Truly…..I think the TRT is working, I’m able to push myself really hard, and I am fully recovered the next day. It’s impossible at my age…it was impossible at 40!
I saw 229.4 this morning. I’ll see how long it takes to get to 225, 220, and 215.
I’ve been a solid 215 before, that would be wonderful….we shall see.
