What Is Love….
Huge weekend, and it’s just Saturday. The last away hockey games of Charlotte’s 25/26 season. She played amazingly, and the rinks were packed with scouts. The team had really come together over the last 10 games. The games started Thursday afternoon, and I spent that evening enjoying social hour with some parents. Wallace and I were the last standing, packing it in at 4 am…I will miss him, a ton of fun. Charlotte woke me up at 9:45 am to let me know it was time to go….we were supposed to be at the rink at 9:45!
I realized on Friday morning that I shouldn’t be using Facebook during the wee hours of socializing…but it made for a funny story the next day…the guys were laughing it up at my expense.
What did I learn other than that I can be the biggest moron on planet earth…maybe the Universe? Sometimes nice people make bad choices….actions hurt….so do words.
Time to circle back around and see how things feel in a few weeks….get back to telling Chat everything I do, eat, and take….let it tell me where the gaps are to fill.
I picked up some sourdough starter from my Sister a couple of weeks ago….that has not been good for hitting scale targets, although I think the extra carbs may have helped rebuild muscle…or maybe it was the testosterone.
I did my TRT blood work this week, and the results are in, totally normal, other than a few minor details.
- My total Testosterone is 35.4. I started at 19.4, a totally normal total T for a 54 year old guy. Tomorrow I will turn 55 and I have the testosterone of a VERY healthy 19 year old.
- My free Testosterone is 27. I started at 11.
So, forget about young men at the peak of puberty, how about older gents?
As we can see, I was at a reasonable place to start, now I am “optimized”. It probably has something to do with how lean I am, and how I can workout pretty hard and recover very quick.
I feel great.
It will be interesting to see how the next couple of months work themselves out…I will have a lot mroe time now that hockey is done.
The pool opened today, it will be another week before it is crystal clear and 80 degrees. I’m going to slip 100 laps into my daily routine.
I was wondering this weekend….have I known love? Ev told me in her last 6 weeks that she realized how much I loved her….and if she didn’t know before that, could she love me? Mel didn’t love me….
Have I been loved? Do I know love?
It’s something to think about….Tomorrow I will wake up 55 years old, and I don’t know….what is love?
And Now….The Weather….
Let’s start with the nobodies!
TBag and Krista have offered nothing. T says she hasn’t changed and may be up 2 pounds….Krista is still looking for a Muslim man to take all this pain away….give her the freedom of a nice hijab. Tbag just sent me a text that she is still on the treadmill….28 minutes and counting…
Where do we go from here? Exciting news!!!!
Russett turned his back for a second and my spy sent over a quick update photo!
He looks reasonably fit from this angle. Its all about angles and shadows…
Jeremy offers “in the gym 3-4 days a week again, I am starting to get my groove back – body remembers. Still not pushing much weight but that’s fine, I am slowly pushing up strain level and focusing on time under tension. I stretch for 20 mins every day, same routine – calves are still super tight, but am generally loosening up. Started doing 30 mins a day in the sauna at 70 degrees, invigorating and relaxing. I use the heat to push my stretching too. I am so paranoid of being perceived as a creep at the gym that I spend most of my time staring directly at the floor or ceiling. In the market for a hoodie that identifies me as willing to help just ask but I will not engage first… probably a long shot. I think I caught someone checking me out lol the other day, that has not happened in a very long time so it made me smile. Smoking my first batch of jerky, I need to up the protein intake and prefer to control the salt.”
ah….I don’t think that hoodie exists? I’ve spent a lot of time in the gym and I don’t believe any woman…ever…anywhere…wants the help from any man…unless she requests it….which never happens.
What color was the dudes hair that was checking you out? 🙂
Next up….
HotTub….yes HT is no longer competting but she sent this over the other day and I think it’s worth discussing.
What is that? Well…that is HTs snack…
– 1 can tuna
– 2 hard boiled eggs
– greek yogurt
– 1 apple
– bagel spice
ah….I told her no….she said a person could add peanut butter if they wanted…
Peanut butter?
Geezus….
YogaJennie offered a few photos this week:
One of these things should not be here…..Did she offer an updated weight? Did anyone offer an updated weight this week?
SLAB offers this….sort of…she may kill me….
The right being the Before…..This was posted without permission so If you don’t hear from me next week Slab has murdered me….
Pumper offers: “Weighed in at 199 on the dot this morning. I had good intentions to take some pictures today but I’ve discovered I’m horrible at taking pictures of myself and gave up! This week was pretty good on the food side and I made it to hot yoga x3 times on top of the half dozen classes I taught so yay! Mood was kinda meh though when not teaching a class…first week being off work and I feel like I should be doing more than I am…going to go talk to someone next week, hopefully that will help.”
Pumper works out nonstop…..nonstop….
Suds says: “Man oh man the Wegovy side effects at 0.5 mg are pretty gross. I’ve compared note with my step sister and she doesn’t seem to have it as bad. I’ve been researching micro dosing. Not FDA approved but I think that is what I will do. Otherwise I’m switching to something else. I’ve given it 6 weeks and side effects are affecting my day to day. I’ll keep you posted”
I would love to hear from other Wegovy/GLP-1 users to see if this is normal, what works, what doesn’t….
Personally, if it were my thing, I would be taking Retatrutide….just saying….

Yours Truly…My weight is up a couple pounds…sourdough. I’m done with that. I’m putting on muscle and next week I’m going to go back to having chat track my food.
Just look at the length of Rhi’s thumb on my tattoo!
The Quote of the Day
“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.” – Anais Nin
Choices…..you choose your acts….your words….
I live and die by my choices. I stand behind them, beg for forgiveness because of them, laugh, cry, win, and lose.
So will you…..
