just was browsing back to the beginning of last year and i am 10 pounds heavier. was 178ish last year and steady holding 188 at the moment. i am wearing that 10 pounds 'differently' so to speak and seems i did a nice recomp over the past year. i am still wearing the same clothes, no change in waist size at all. my body fat hasn't really changed all that much in a year but may have gone down in certain areas. i am still dealing with the tightness and knots in my legs, but still working on all that. another thing that i still want to do is further testing on my hormones. went in about a month ago and only got my test levels read (small clinic offering cheap testing), which red 381ng/dl. after posting in the HRT/TRT section, seems that the number is not acceptable! i think that is one thing that is hindering gains and overall fat loss. i just started a new insurance (Cigna) and will be looking to get some more blood work to try to see what is really going on with my hormones. just wanted to post up and update on everything and looking to make more changes this year! if my legs get back to somewhat normal, i plan on looking for some type of race/event to compete/join in. one thing this year that i want/will be doing is getting on my mountain bike some more! and yes, mouth piece will in!!!

Went hunting again all weekend and walked my arse off! We limited out on ducks and I harvested another hog. After looking at my Fitbit from yesterday, I walked over 12 miles total yesterday. I can definitely tellDiet wasn't the best (alcohol) but food choices weren't bad. Over the past few days, I ate some fresh fried speckle trout, redfish, had some dove breast wrapped in bacon stuffed with jalapeños and cream cheese, and also some pulled pork shoulder!

Sorry to hear that RC. Well when one doors closes another one opens. Changing jobs (although it may not be by choice) keep you fresh and on form. IMO anyway.

Hopefully it may not come to that. What you work at?

i work for myself as an independent contractor for a land brokerage firm.

we lease and maintain leases for oil and gas companies. at the moment, no companies are doing any drilling or no work at all with $30 oil

sucks cuz i like what i do.

[DSS]

Feel for ya. But hopefully it turns around or some new company comes along. Get the feelers out for some new contracts. Best being prepared.

That's the thing, no companies are actively leasing since they don't know where the bottom is with regards to oil prices. Just have to find another industry, thinking about real estate or back to healthcare. Love to get into pharm sales or medical device sales but don't have a bunch of sales experience.

On another note, played the lotto so who knows with all the bad luck that has been my way as of late!

[RaginCajun]

Finally had a good run today, legs didn't totally fail me! Did 2.3 miles in 30 minutes, fastest time I've had in prob 2 years.

Legs are fried! Haha!

[SlimmerMe]

[DSS]

If ur not in it. You can't win it.

[RaginCajun]

welp, didn't win so back at work (or what's left of it)!

i can tell that i ran yesterday but not sore at all. i was expecting for my calves to be sore, but nope.

looking like i will have to cancel the old gym membership for now and work out at my apartment complex until they give me they boot!

[RaginCajun]

Went on another hunting expedition with some good ole college/good friends this past weekend. did a bit of hiking and took my bud's dog for some long walks, but no animals were harvested, I just watched and enjoyed. we made a lot of moonshine over the weekend so did a lot of 'tasting' so to speak! It felt good to sleep in some today, my body needed the rest. On another note, still stressed as hell, looking for a job sucks!

[SlimmerMe]

moonshine? I shake my head....yep. Can only imagine.

a gentlemen never tells..........................

i kid, i kid! just did some walking, high knees, stretching along the way. my legs still feel all knotted up!

[RaginCajun]

30 minutes of cardio/walking

Legs held up but tight as a long tailed cat's butthole in a room full of rocking chairs

[RaginCajun]

Pissed excellence this morning!

Had a green shake (carrots, egg whites, spinach, Granny Smith Apple, blueberries, and strawberries) and coffee. I really can't say if it was the coffee or shake, but I had great energy in the gym this morning! Suspecting it is the coffee as I am sensitive to stims. Did chest and back workout, felt great! Took a quick of my legs this morning

[SlimmerMe]

^^^ nice.....

[RaginCajun]

[RaginCajun]

Did 1.5 hours of cardio

Have a wee niggle (as clarky would say) on the bottom of my left foot. It feels like I have to keep stretching my big toe out, and also feels like it could pop!

Haha exactly!!!!

[RaginCajun]

weighed in this morning right under 190 lbs

can't tell what is going on but hoping for a drop this week. my diet was better last week than the past few so thinking it is some water from all of the leg work and cardio over the weekend. fasting today for 16 hours to mess with my body some. definitely dealing with a lot of stress at the moment so wondering if that has anything to do with it.

nonetheless, have to grind and get after it this evening!

[RaginCajun]

Chest and tris, done real quick. I only rested about 1 minute in between sets, felt good

RC, no idea how i've missed this so far. Keep up the good work!

Re: Stress - My weight tends to go up when i'm stressed, even if all other factors seem unchanged.

yeah man pretty stressed but i am a positive person so trying not to let it get to me. my last grand parent fell and broke her hip and is now in ICU. i am on the verge of being out of work (oil industry) so life is all over the place at the moment. luckily, i have the gym where i let it all go!!!
