God damn. I always regret cheating with sweets and not something good like, pulled pork or ribs.
Those look amazing. I might need that recipe!
Banana nut swiss roll
Bottom left are just chocolate on chocolate cupcakes
Cookies are traditional chocolate chips cookies and, reese's with skor bit cookies
Awww.. nice! I like sharing my day with others!
And these last few posts are why I feel so fortunate to have the mindset that I do regarding such things. Most are so compelled by cookies and shit. I don’t even see them as food. Not “oh, that’s bad and I shouldn’t eat it”, but about the same as I’d feel walking down the isles for cleaning products and tires. It doesn’t even register as a useful consumable.
On the (kinda) downside, it does mean that I never have that weird family/friend meal bonding nonsense, because I attach no value outside of energetics/nutrients to food.
My mind wandered yesterday and I couldn’t focus it. I’m not sure what happened. It is frustrating especially when each and every workout is critical.
I am either burning the candle at both ends or I am just getting too old to continuously workout at high intensity.
I think it’s the first, but I finish classes on Tuesday so that will free up more time to relax or do other things.
If I can’t go 100% all the time, then I shouldn’t be doing this.
I never compete against anyone else. I am always competing against myself: can I build a better version this year than last year?? Every year I learn something new. Usually in the last 3 years, it has been numerous things.
This year I was able to maintain body weight and lose fat. I have been searching for the magic formula for years. I obviously do not do this on my own. I listen to what everyone says and I will take some of the silliest recommendations and try it. Sometimes they are 100% right and it is t so silly after all.
Well, not sure what is going on in my brain because all of the signals are short circuiting. LOL. I thought that it may be a buildup of estrogen, but I’m not taking enough test. Maybe the tren...:: yes, Obs, I’ll up the amount. LOL
We’ll see how the focus is today- leg day. Hopefully I’ll need crutches to leave. LOL

I respect people who can have such convictions all the time... At times I wish I did, but I don't, probably why I look like I do, lol.
At my age and stage in life, I live for "weird family/friend meal bonding nonsense". I know it's not 100% in line with my goals, but often my goal is to relax with family in a cool place eating fun food (or travel, or sports... Whatever). I think the key is figuring out what your goals are, and embracing them.
Everyone is looking great btw, keep it up!
Best,
C-
Oh, it’s not really a convictions thing most of the time. I just quite literally don’t view things like desserts, pop tarts, etc. as food, period. I am as tempted by them as you would be standing in the battery isle...unless you have that whole pika thing, I guess.
That said, I do still have several items in my life on a constant basis that could easily lead me back to obesity if I let it get out of hand (looking at you Dragon Rolls and Yakisoba Steak), but they’re generally reserved for refeeds and dates with the girlfriend. My food preferences for “bad” food have the same thing going that prevents me from being a regular drinker: my tastes are too damned expensive to do it very often.
I’ve heard that more than once. But no, you shouldn’t. That asshole with his tupperware and thermoses at every family function or friendly get together? That’s me.
You probably shouldn’t be me. I probably shouldn’t be such an ass about it. To be honest, I’d probably still be pretty damned close to where I am now without it. Doesn’t change the fact that I always operate in extremes, but I can at least admit that I am fucked up in many ways. It’s just a different kind of fucked up than most.
Well, I had a gut check today. The old man still has it. Probably just mental games going on.
I went to the gym today and it was all about me. I didn’t care who else was there. I am normally very considerate of others, not today. I was by no means rude, but it was about me. I visualized Kelkel’s legs and vascularity- no Obs, not in a gay way. LOL
My legs will not be the biggest onstage but I will have a new version. I just need to get them shredded. They are bigger than last year and are beginning to look like German’s.

Vascularity is coming along.

Consider this my official withdrawal. Working 14-16 hours per day this week, and I’m not willing to sacrifice sleep, training time, or food prep for camera wankery. If the deadline were a Sunday, probably. As is, nope.
Time to start cutting

You have come so far despite all of the adversity over the past couple of years. You are rock solid. Whether you win this one or not, you are by far the most improved over the last couple of years. Hats off to you!!!
Keep going- but take it easy on the T3! LOL
