Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 1)

I got high and ate 2/3 of a bag of sour cream and cheddar chips.

But the weed was in edible form so Flame Free

I thinking… sour cream and cheddar drinks? Ewwwww!

I initially wrote drinks, I’m thirsty.

I bought San Pellegrino clementine and peach seltzers which are decent but I’m high so realistically they’re probably a solid 4/10

Would still have to be better than sour cream and cheddar, unless of course we are juicing that with the chicken from earlier. Not even sure being high could make that taste better.

Somehow chicken thigh, sour cream, and cheddar in a ā€œjuicedā€ format still sounds appealing.

I got sick of eating clean for the last three weeks so I made carbonara and dumped an entire pack of bacon and half a pack of spaghetti in it. Too much in the pan, so the eggs curdled a bit.

It was delicious.

I need to vary my diet a bit more.

The last two evenings, my main meal has been 4 hard boiled eggs the one day, and 300 grams of cottage cheese the other day. Plus various snacks like pickles, pepperoni-ish meat snacks and so forth. And while I actually like all these things, I feel like I need an evening with some high carb items drenched with sauce and cheese and whatever. I literally salivated over the idea of a chicken/sour cream/cheddar smoothie, that sounds awesome right now.

So I weighed in at exactly 200lb this morning. Looks like that’s my 5 weeks of not dieting over…

2lb a week was worse than I was expecting from easing off a little, I still have abs though, so not a complete disaster.

Back on the bandwagon as of today, time to start tracking macros I guess. Probably should have joined T-ransformation.

Posting it here in the hope that someone keeps me accountable.

:disappointed_relieved: it saddens me when possible epic threads are taken down. Especially before they have a chance to mature.

I understood that we could join late if necessary. It’s still January!

Do you do juice fasts?

I could totally see eating brie or goat cheese for breakfast (or any time) but would have a hard time with the stronger cheeses first thing in the morning.

I’m sorry about the possible egg problem - they’re so easy to make and inoffensive to eat.

Ill get a pic up tonight then! Not planning on competing this year, so no excuse to not get properly lean.

I’d like to get to a new all time best physique wise before I hit 30 later this year.

Curious, what’s the heaviest you’ve been?

This was one of my longer diet breaks, but I’ve probably been up closer to 210ish at my fluffiest, but I’m not one to weigh myself all that often outside of competition prep

A little late to the game here, but a lot of times vocalists will change vowel sounds to ā€œeasierā€ vowel sounds during live performances. You pronounce things perfectly in the studio because you can do one song at a time which isn’t super fatiguing on your vocal cords, or even if it is, you only have one song. When you’re on tour and performing live, your vocal cords get pretty beat up so you change vowel sounds to give them a break.

For instance, long ā€œaā€ sound is easier low, because you have to open your throat to make the sound, while long ā€œeā€ sound is easier high because you have to close off your throat to make the sound.

A really good example of this is Myles Kennedy from Alter Bridge. He damn near uses nonsense words live because he’s changing vowel sounds to keep his vocal cords from actually bleeding.

Have took a couple of days off

Had to put one of my dogs to sleep. Became ill at the start of the week and deteriorated.

Heart breaking moment watching him go. Tears were flowing.

Back on it tomorrow with vigour :+1:

Sorry to hear about your dog. I had to do that to my last dog 15 years ago and it still makes me sad to think about it.

Ha. I’m honored! Often these simple truths take the longest time to arrive at.

I have handed off Bullpups training to someone else.
