Diet
How it's felt to diet. Not something I've really needed to do before. I started as an Ectomorph (kinda skinny) and slowly added muscle and weight over decades. At some point (the last 2 years) I get so big that it's not as grfeat as you might think. Same as being super lean or really underweight. So the first week or so was very much a case of feeling, as I wrote (READ THE LOG) utterly lacking in energy.

When it comes to dieting (to lose or gain) you're literally stopping doing what you'd normally do. That might be ham and eggs or just a cup of coffee for breakfast. Whatever habits you had to that point you kinda have to get pass. A very simple example of my own is using a cup (on the diet) to measure out my breakfast. That means I'm actually eating slightly more at 7am - to the point where it's boring to finish it of. And a diet, whether for a few weeks or, more appropriately lifestyle changes (far better) and permanent requires you to make changes.

If you get passed the period of adaption (that fist week or so for me) you feel a LOT better. There are, of course, extremes. Such might be a full blown competition prep where the look is 1st before health. Hence, almost no one stays crazy looking

Saturday
The joys of being recognized for what you do. From running a sponsor log to helping Stevesmi host our podcast... and today??

So a few weeks back I was approached by a gym buddy I've mentioned. I did his wedding pics and he's competed on stage, is a judge for as federation and even, among the rest of his Iron Game CV, had a lab all of his very own if only briefly some years ago. He'd been approached by a fella he'd worked with who wanted to resurrect a company he owned. And my name came up as someone to work with. Finally, in today's post, a package arrived. Hoody and a t-shirt. If this does what it's supposed to do I'll be getting a package every month.

These kinds of deals aren't uncommon. But I've seen people kinda f**k it up. As with ANY sponsor type deal you (and they) get as much out of this as is put in. What the company wants is not, as you might think, you using 47 hashtags or posting EVERY DAMN WHERE. It's engagement and value. You're better with one good post a week that works well than 10 a day that annoy people.

So now I'll be banging that drum on Insta and Facebook. Watch out for a couple of photos (I wont go crazy I promise)

I think the problem with your cut is it’s way too short to see any weight loss. It takes a while for the body to adjust and get used to the inflammation. I just went back and looked at my weight and when I started my first shot of TRT. It took me a whole 6 weeks before I started losing weight again.
