WARNING: GYNECOLOGICAL INFORMATION WILL BE DISCUSSED IN THIS POST. LOOK AWAY IF YOU MUST.
No training today. Went to the girlie doctor instead! Wheeeee. This was my first visit with her ever. Oddly, she was very enamored with my stomach; she even poked me (in the stomach that is). She said that I had great muscle tone and asked what I did to get that way. It was a bit bizarre. I mean a great compliment for sure, but?..I would never say something like that to a first time patient.
Anyway, all appears well in ladypart land. Even my fibroid, hasn?t grown too much over the last decade. This is good, really good in fact and I believe I owe that to training. More LBM and lower BF = lower estrogen = less stimulus for fibroid growth. See ladies, training is actually good for our collective uteri!
Annnnnnd finally??Today:
Feeling very tired and spacey today. Also cranky and hormonal.
Gym:
Sqwatz
Barx15
95x10
115x8
135x6 (These felt like shit. Form sucked and I was wobbling all over the fucking place.)
Lunges:
65x10
75x8
85x6
Set up for DLs, started with 115x6. Go up to add weight to the bar and aborted mission. My back felt way too tight to be fucking around. I have an old back injury so I listen very closely to it. When it says FU I say OK.
Leg Extensions:
110x10/130x2 (Ugh!)/90x10/90x8
Single leg Hammie curls.
20x10 for 3 sets.
I took my ball and went home. Very disappointing day.
Eats (P 136/C 99/F 57):
M1: protein bar, banana, tea
M2: 2 whole eggs, half cup whites, olive oil, ff cheese, broccoli, ezikiel bread, butter, coffee and half and half
M3: chicken, tomato curry, broccoli, salad with olive oil and balsamic
M4: protein pancake with peanut butter

Thats really good that you have been UPPING cals and staying the same weight wise.
I need to work on that soon. Although, at the moment I don’t keep track of cals. I feel like a tantrumy 2 yr old when I think about doing it.
But from a scienc-y stand point it would be good. And thats what this all about. How much food can I eat to lose/maintain/gain?[/quote]
I know. I am freakin’ thrilled. It also means that I am getting the glandz dialed in too.
BEAR! What u feel is optimal for fat intake as far as %/kcals or g/bodyweight?[/quote]
I’m not going to try to suggest either one of those numbers, because i know you have some stuff goin on healthwise already (bloodwork and whatnot), and i don’t wanna make a suggestion that’s gonna be harmful.

Chris: Uh, yeah that will do it. It never ends up where you want it. I would like to channel all of my excess weight to muscle and to my tits thank you. Unfortunately, it likes to hang out everywhere, and not as muscle I might add. Thank you for the back comment though! I am working hard to get back (pun intended) to that. Speaking of… how is Holy Mac? Is he still active on the boards?[/quote]
Yeah, he pops in every once and awhile, but he’s probably in the suck right now.
Bear: It’s cool. One of my Docs has been busting my oves to eat more fat, so I have been medically cleared!
Chris: The suck just sucks. I hope he gets home safe.
Greg: Hahaa! I LURVE the army men. Especially the one ‘on his way out’. So, regarding your question… I COULD do my own pap smears (although it is physically awkward) but as far as the internal exam is concerned (where they check the size of your uterus and ovaries) it is really difficult to do on your own especially because I have short fingers. Better to have it done right
