The ACV I used last time was from a Naturist store, they cost an arm and a leg and I was to take 2 in the morning only. This time I bought a bottle at Loblaws for 6$, and it’s 2x3 daily. It seems like they are all different and all smell bad. Must be the amount of active ingredient.
Had planned on going to the gym tonight, but I got weird blisters on the soles of my feet from the boots I wore to work. By the time I got out of them I couldn’t put any direct pressure on my feet, so decided to do what hopefully many other Canadian families were doing… watch our Juniors complete the Drive for Five (gold medals) at the Hockey U20 World Junior tournament.
The pic is of my puppy Lila. She was in on the action too. I ended up cutting my dad out of the pic because she turned her head. They were lying down sharing the same pillow and it was adorable. We flipped to basketball during commercials and she wasn’t nearly as interested. But when hockey was on she was ignoring you even if you called her name and said the ‘treat’ word.
I’m heading to the gym tomorrow to do what I planned on today… mobility, bi’s, tri’s, abs (all 3x15) and a bit of cardio. I haven’t had an easy day at the gym in ages and my body is still sore from Friday and Sunday, so I just want to get some blood flowing.
I’ve used liquid ACV as a regular supplement (for blood glucose or something). I’ve never tried it as a diuretic, but I might now!
You and Ouroboro on stimulants is seriously cutting into my work time. The number of posts have increased dramatically. I can hardly keep up.
Good luck cutting weight.

We’re both rather high strung to begin with… it’s like us on speed. We’re bound to cause a scene at the new gym tomorrow.
Note to self: HOT-ROX + ACV + Fishoil = a bad combination for Court’s stomach. I haven’t pulled an ouroboro yet, however I feel like I may barf yet…
I rushed into my office, took off my coat and dropped my bag and started booking it to the bathroom. I run into a coworker (someone not on my team, but on my floor that I say hi to on occassion) in there on my way out and she says I look pale, am I feeling alright. I say no. Doesn’t she say “Morning sickness? Are you pregnant?” Seriously. Who says that to a 24 year old? Who says that to anyone? For the record, I am not pregnant, I’m just fucked up on a wide variety of pills. I opted to say no, but thanks for asking instead of telling her why I felt like shit.
I then talked to one of my project managers whose twin brother is and trains MMA fighters. He understood my pain. He also gave me his brother’s contact info if I need some help making weight because his guys weigh in right before a fight as well.
On a more positive note, I figured out how to change my scale to kg and this morning weighed in at 69.3kg, or 152.7ish. Since I just started the ACV this morning, I’m okay with that.

No kidding! I gagged from the smell of the pills alone. I can’t even imagine what the liquid must smell/taste like.
At least I only have to deal with the smell once a day (3x in the am). From now on, I’m keeping them in the blister seal packets until it’s time to pop them. I put them in the container with the rest of my pills and now they all smell like that shit…

I actually kind of like the taste, but I really dig sour/bitter things. I would take two tablespoons in 16 oz of water, and sip it through a straw.

I am throwing 5-6 tablespoons in a glass of water. I’m not very scientific. I figure if some is good, lot’s must be lot’s better. No wonder it takes so bad.
Oh, and speaking of puking in attempts to make weight…
Last year before Raw Nationals I had to make weight, so I was doing broccoli and protein, easy enough. I steamed a bag of raw broccoli in the office microwave, and it stunk so badly people thought something had died. It stunk up the whole floor.
Anyway, after that adventure, I decided to eat my broccoli raw. No big deal, I like raw broccoli.
I ate a 12 oz bag or so, all while drinking a crap ton of water. About an hour later…it all came back up.
I was in my office and didn’t have time to get to the bathroom. Fortunately, I had an empty 16 oz cup. Yeah, I am disgusting. 
I guess we all puke a lot, don’t we?

LOL, and well no, we dont all puke a lot.

I’ll give you big gross points on that. I puked again this morning with a full bladder. There was some intense heaving that lead pissing on my socks. This, by the way, is a side affect of having babies. I totally blame my kids.

The bladder issues, more than anything, have delayed my decision to have children.

PMPM, thanks to you I had to clean up half-chewed tuna that was all over my desk. That is disgusting, but so hilarious.
Firebug, I’m with you. The less puking I do, the happier I will be. I’m getting closer to my weight class and will be thrilled if something I eat/drink/take doesn’t make me puke before then.
I feel left out with all the puking.
Actually I feel like puking when I’m training now, so it’s all good.
Court- in honor of you I took two HOT-ROX this morning before going to the gym. I didn’t know whether to dance a jig, or lay down and look at the pretty lights, LOL!!

Puking while training is much better than puking just cuz of your supps.
If I were to take HOT-ROX within 2-3 hours of going to the gym I’d puke, kill myself by dropping a weight on my head, or pass out. I tried it once (just with 1 pill) and had to leave because I was so spacey and jittery.
After it took me 1.5hours to get home because of train delays I was entirely unmotivated to go to the gym last night…especially because I wasn’t doing PL training. I asked a friend for some motivation to get going and was told “Get off your ass because you still need to drop some weight”. It was exactly what I needed to hear. I groaned, rolled over and proceeded to grab my stuff and go to the gym.
Regardless, it was a pretty bleh session. I did a 2x12 total body of sorts. Stiff-leg deads, tricep pressdowns, bent-over rows, standing calf raise, decline skulls and standing EZ bar curls, standing cable crunches, planks. Didn’t really care about the weight, it was more to get me moving and extricate my head from my ass.
I walked on an incline on the treadmill after for 30 minutes. Varied my speed, my incline, etc as I got bored. For a while at the end I was even doing cross-over walks lol. Started with mobility and finished with a crapload of stretching.
I feel better today than I would have for sure. Mentally I feel like shit because I’m starting to PMS. I’m pretty short-tempered and definitely not cheery-happy-Court.
I did hear some promising news about the gym ouroboro and I are going to tonight though… I confirmed it’s ‘hardcoreness’ and was told I’d love it there and they’d love us. It’s chock full of testosterone, heavy lifting, all metal plates, etc. I’m definitely looking forward to it.
Oh and I weighed in at 69.2kg this morning (or 152.5lbs). That means 3.7lbs left until I’m at the cutoff to my weightclass. Woohoo! My body is horribly unattractive at the moment with all the food, supps and water I’m putting in it. At least I have ouroboro to talk about feeling gross with

I can hardly wait to experience the hardcoretasticness. I’m a little scared of you though. Can you add happy pills to your supp list?

Nope.
However my mom wants to know what happy pills you got and would like me to buy some for her. We also plan on slipping them in my father’s food.
