I’m Back Again….

I have nothing fun to report in being back though. The biggest thing is now have to look forward to dealing with my wife’s eating disorder again going back into full swing. It is rather unfortunate because if it wasn’t for her doing her ANG PHA yesterday this wouldn’t be as big an issue but they told her her weight, so it was an instantaneous trigger.

Now mind you she was already having thoughts of allowing her urges to purge take over just because she was feeling heavier and seeing herself as always no matter the weight as fat, at least she told me about what was going on in her head. I already knew, I could sense it was coming.

Part of the problem is she has hit menopause and after putting it off as long as possible started doing the hormone therapy mainly to control the out of control hot flashes she was having, I think even the small dose of hormones has been too much and caused some weight gain over and above what she might have gained with her now more regular eating, which I don’t know how much good that has actually been doing because her daily burn is far greater than her intake still, but it is far better than before she did her first contest (she was problem running a -1,000) so because of that her metabolism is pretty shot out and in the process of correcting itself still.

On the other side of the coin I am now maybe about 14 weeks out from doing my first ever Men’s Physique show in May of this year, how is my prep going, questionable at the moment, I have a lot of work to do in order to get where I would like to be, mainly because I have gain more weight back that I didn’t intend to. I am currently working on changing things up so that I can get going in the right direction, i.e. in a downward direction. I am also working with a friend to do her prep as well, she is doing great so far and improvements are coming along weekly.

I have also been working on getting my Personal Trainer certs current again, two in particular right now my NFPT (National Federation of Professional Trainers) and NASM-CPT (National Academy of Sports Medicine), the latter is for Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Nutrition Coach. There are a couple of other things that I will likely follow up with cert wise with NASM but not 100% sure which ones as of yet.

I have also set up my LiftNw8.com website for my business and I also have an APP that is available to go with it. I have a couple of price points available and will likely add some more such as for Contest Prep going forward.

Art is still a thing as well, I have a current work that I have been working on but it still isn’t finished, I hope to get the inspiration to get that done as well over the weekend, something is missing from it and it hasn’t come to me yet. Then I have a couple of new wood panels I grabbed that I want to create some stuff on next.

Alright that is it for now.
