Day 401

Rest Day, bloodwork morning, suppose to be a cheat day but I only got one cheat meal in. Probably best anyway but I sure did want my dang pancake breakfast lol... next week.

Woke up at 0530, hit the hgh, went back to sleep for an hour n half and headed out the door all sleepy eyed to make my 815 blood draw... Fasted Blood drawn, then doctors appointment across town after to get a second opinion on the sleep issues, then off to grab the nieces to go to one fair for frog jumping contest and I volunteered to be in the dunk tank while my nieces and their little friends tried to sink me lol... they got me twice.. then off to another fair to see a friend perform his comedy routine (prop comedian for kids entertainment)

Needless to say they wore me the hell out. I wish I could have just a 1/4 of their energy...

All I ate was a protein bar after doc appointment and a cheese steak sandwich at the fair. I’ll drink a shake in just a few minutes, take my vitamins and supps, jump in shower and hit the hay. Oh 2 monster peach teas throughout the day, a 5hour energy shot and under a gallon of water... totally blew it today.


Tomorrow I’ll have to do my chores and stuff and push the renaissance fair to next weekend... I had big plans lol. Just lack the energy to get it done. I need a full rest day though.

Day 402

Rest Day / Family day


Bloodwork’s trickling in... my irons super low again... I don’t even need to wait for the E results. I already know this has been the issue of why I’m so wiped out and tired.. I know these symptoms well... so I’m going to need to triple up on supplementing.. I’m not sure why I’m struggling so hard to get my iron levels up.. a lot of other things are out of whack as well such as cholesterol and all that Jazz....

So far I’m not impressed with the higher doses of compounds. Definitely not seeing many pluses vs my regular dosing regiments.. in fact as of this moment, with my bloodwork telling the tale, it seems there’s more negative than positive occurring.... I’ll wait for the whole picture though. I’ll address the iron immediately as well as the cholesterol issues. Drop some fat off of the diet as well. Since according to my bloods I’m not utilizing it as energy at this moment very efficiently anyway.

I’m fully aware that this is for science though and I needed to do this so it’s not in the back of my head of wonder. I’ll move my health panel blood work to every 3 weeks now though. As I don’t want to allow my levels to remain out of whack for too long. I’ll keep the T and E bloodwork as normally scheduled though. Since my last bloodwork was gtg vs them now, I’ll allow another 3 weeks to see how it goes. If it’s still out of whack I’ll start tweaking the dosages to a safer more effective level.

What a day... long long work day it turned out to be. Back to back to back emergency calls... then off to the gym... then off to give platelets... now home and my brain is in hyper drive as I’m trying to get it to slow down and stfu already so I can get ready for some sleep... early to rise tomorrow for a brutal day of my favorite work to do, Demo day! Whoop whoop! It’s going to be rough n tough and I will be exhausted beyond exhausted... I love it.. destroy but maintain its integrity. Dismember and dismantle, while adding and securing... love/hate... it’s the perfect combo lol

So today I decided to hit legs first this week as I want to try to double team them for a while. I really want to see some additional size pack onto them. Felt good at the gym. At least I wasn’t dragging my ass like a wormed dog on shag carpet... I’ll keep upping my iron until I find a happy medium... keeping in mind my donating is going to bring my levels down and I’ll need to start ramping up and keeping closer tabs on that... need that iron in the blood. It’s pretty vital lol..

Felt good on my workout, in and out in an hour so I’m back to my before surgery pace. Not where I was strength wise, but not too far behind either.

Curveballs thrown from every direction. I was on a pink cloud all day though and completely unaffected by any stressful situation. It was a pleasant change of pace.

Very physical work day topped off with an arms day.

Energy was there, strength was not. I struggled to hit my reps. My breathing was off and I felt my self speeding up my rep pace in order to check the box... I can not get in this habit. It’s taken a long time to get myself trained into slow and deliberate reps. I would not be a happy camper having to re-train myself.

I’ve been getting dreams lately. A lot. Vivid and strange ones. This is good I think yeah? It means I’m getting deeper sleep? Or at least hitting sleep levels..

Side note, I’m definitely seeing a difference with my body and it’s definitely changing... but the tape measure is not moving and my weight is swaying within a 5lb +\- .... but my body is definitely toning up and I’m looking bigger. Which is a feat in itself if my brain isn’t processing me as the fat ass in the mirror anymore... but I’m suppose to be bulking... so I’m going to need to up my calories... maybe it’s time to go buy some grapenuts cereal lol



Daily gratitude item:
Today I’m grateful for an attitude of gratitude.... it really made it a great day tbh. It was a positive day all day regardless what obstacles were thrown my way. I sure can problem solve so much more effectively!

Just call me day slayer bwhuahahaha! I slayed the day. Had some challenges, rose to the occasion, got through everything without freaking out mentally. Yay! Doctor appointment tomorrow, hopefully I get cleared to have him file the paperwork to get me into that program to try the narcolepsy meds out. Crossing fingers!

Hit chest today. Muscles are feeling fatigued today. So I kept it slow and controlled. Got through the routine even though it took longer. So far I’m failing at adding in abs to my routines... I keep hoping for that second wind and it’s not coming... maybe I’ll just keep it more simple and do ab work at home and in between chores or something... just to start getting in the routine...

Mentally I been having to fight myself lately it seems. Hopefully this will pass sooner rather than later. It’s annoying AF.
