Be tough without the pins....
On the not subjective part: What do you do when you travel? I have a few trips coming up for work, going home for Christmas, and a vacation in January. If I'm lucky, Christmas and my work trip in December won't interfere because they'll be short trips. If the timing does NOT line up, do I pin early? In January, though, I'll be gone probably four days for work and four days for vacation (separate times). That means I'll probably have to pin at least once. What do I do for those trips? I'll be flying for all of these trips, including the short ones.
Just pin right before you leave and right when you get back. You'll be fine. Don't sweat it.
On the subject part: Is it normal to be a little nervous? Part of me kind of doesn't want to stop being natural just out of pride, part of me is worried about the risks (though I'm following the first post to the letter, so I know chances there are minimum), and part of me is just worried about pinning, though I don't have a fear of needles. I've never hit my body goals with my own work and when I look at the types of builds I want to emulate, none of them are natural. So, logically, this is a good path for me. Just hard to wrap my mind around now that I'm close to actually starting, if that makes sense.
