Feeling fat! I had to go and stay with my Dad who has Alzheimer for 4 days, diet sucked, couldn't workout and no sleep. Hitting it hard again now. I lifted for the first time in over 2 weeks yesterday, testing the shoulder. Chest hurts to much from lifting to tell how the shoulder feels

. Life has been getting in the way of my ability to lose some fat!

Couple weeks off will never hurt you. I take that amount of time yearly. Good to give your body a rest. Just take it a little easier coming back....

So far so good. Did chest on Wednesday started light to feel it out then went a bit heavier. Then 50 minutes cardio yesterday (I know you don't have to do cardio) today I am going to do shoulders and 40 minutes of cardio. Diet yesterday was pretty good: with eggs and protein pancakes for breakfast, hard boiled egg for a snack, lunch 2 cans of tuna with some light miracle whip and celery for texture, protein bar snack, apple just before the gym, 50 minutes cardio, chicken breast, brown rice and asparagus for dinner and some 4% fat cottage cheese for a snack.
The problem with resting is I already took 2 1/2 weeks off to try and heal mid December, came back and probably pushed it to hard for a week and then had to rest it again. I have some prescription Diclofenac gel that i have been putting on twice a day.

I have been slacking on my posting. Doing good... shoulder is back to about 90% so i am able to lift heavier again, am starting to finally get back into my old routine. Lots of negative things in my life right now but still make the gym 6 days a week. Diet ok but could be way better. Off to Mexico on vacation next week so sun booze and food! Going to hit it hard when I get back summer is coming.

Had a great time in Rivera Maya! Weather was awesome and came back nice and tan... like I always say " tan fat looks way better than white fat!" only gained 4 pounds this year, worked out every day except fro travel days. I did pretty good at limiting my drinking and eating, but still more than I would normally. Back in the gym and trying to drop some body fat. Back to cooking and preparing meals ..no more being lazy!

**bethdoth** · 03-10-2017, 12:02 PM

Diet has been pretty spot on for the last two weeks with very limited drinking. Hit 209 from the 218 after vacation. Shoulder and golf elbow are doing pretty good and am back to lifting every muscle group atleast once a week. Also back to doing fasted HIIT at 5AM a few times a week. Gave a pint of blood and did labs last week and everything was good...estradiol was back down to 29!
Now for my realization. I always think in terms of weight vise body fat. I know I have put on muscle over the past 6 years or so and the weight that my body like to be at is higher. So if I set a goal to get down to 195 pound another 14 pounds that's not realistic without loosing muscle at the same time. So I think I will just go get my bodyfat checked by calipers and use that as a starting point. I also need to be realist on what is a good bodyfat percentage for me. I know at 14%-16% I still have decent abs and it's fairly easy to maintain.

One hour and 45 minutes full body deep tissue massage Friday evening... felt great deep but not to deep. I have been lifting with my son in law every Saturday pushing each other. Arms this week... hurts so good can barely straighten my arms out my bi's and forearms are so sore. Reading Functional Training with a fork again and re-focusing myself on my diet. I need to get my BF checked and see where I am and then set a goal.

Rough 3 weeks. My Dad passed away March 14th. I had went up to see him the weekend before and then he passed on Tuesday. the next weekend was the wake and then the next he was buried in a VA cemetery with Military honors. So 3 long weekends in a row traveling and staying in hotels. Back at it now and back on track.

Thanks guys I will miss my Dad, but he is still alive in me ... we are a lot a like. He was 85 and lived a good life, the Alzheimer had pretty much taken him from us a year ago. I was was glad that he only spent 5 weeks in that really bad nursing home and passed kinda peacefully.
My diet is back on spot again, protein pancakes for breakfast, lots of hard boiled eggs, turkey, chicken, sprouts, green beans, cottage cheese etc.... I am 4 weeks into a tren (50mg EOD) test cyp (HRT level 80mg E3.5 days subQ). Feel pretty darn good right, now sore from lifting. I really enjoy the superman phase of a cycle. Benched 325 for 6 yesterday (good for me/light for some) and preacher curled 130 for 8 during arms on Saturday.

Alzheimer's is a terrible disease

i watched my young aunt fade away very quickly as she had a progressive form of it.

Glad to hear that you back on top of things!!!

Kick ass and damn, 325 for 6 reps is awesome!!!!

I decided to end my cycle at 6 weeks and go back to the old fashion way of changing my body... more hard work and proper nutrition. My Blood Pressure has always been marginal 140/90, I keep a monitor on my desk at work and watch it pretty close. During the cycle it was running way to high averaging 150/100 this was one of the primary reasons to end the cycle. I also went and got a calcium CT scan done just to see, came back fine at 23.4. So I am back to 50 minutes lifting one muscle group and 40-54 minutes cardio 6 days a week. Diet is still pretty good, but needs some minor tweaks like not eating out once or twice week. Still sitting at about 16% BF and 209-211 pounds.
Doc put me on 10mg of Lisinopril daily and BP has been really good. I actually feel calmer.
