Rising From the Ashes (CL)

If I’ve been following correctly (and it’s very possible I haven’t), maybe it means methodically progressing calories upward week-by-week?

Well, I’ll just throw this out there - but if you’d like a complimentary dietitian/nutrition coach for this transformation, I’d be happy to assist. We gotta have strong representation in the “Over 40 and Still Smokin’ Hot” Women’s Division. I’m not going to do the transformation because those kind of contests/challenges do some not so healthy things in brain… So, if I can help any of the over 40 ladies that are, I’m at your service! We might be old - but we ain’t done!! lol

I don’t know what kind of transformation I will get. But smoking hot is most likely not it. Ass kicking strong maybe.

You’re right. I am unable to fully commit to this challenge. I just need to be realistic and come to terms with the fact that I have other priorities. I need to sit this one out.
Thank you!

OK well that didn’t go the way I intended talk about a motivational talk fail…LOL.

You know what is right for you and I support your decision either way. I was really just hoping you could think of some changes you could make to support your transformation.

I owe y’all an apology. @simo74 @QuadQueen @TrainForPain
I know you are just trying to help. Things are just really stressful right now. I have “peopled” too much lately… lol

Between Christmas fastly approaching, the dog dying, mom not doing great, Jed’s broken tooth, my 92 yo lady having new flooring installed (she been driving me nuts!) the car breaking, the roof leaking, the price of everything going up, this weird ass weather, and feeling “off” etc… I am just foul :hot_face::exploding_head::rage::roll_eyes:
The good news is… we are done at the light shop. I ordered some snake oil off amazon for dog, we will see if it makes any difference. My buddy is going to help me work on the car today. (Incidentally he was the one that tried to fix the heater and ended up with the water pump leaking). We have 92yo’s house back together. Hopefully things are looking up!
I told my mom she better get everything she wants from town Wednesday because I am NOT going to town this weekend!!! (It’s my happy dream, I dream it anyway I want. Probably won’t happen :face_with_raised_eyebrow:)

Once I get some of this stuff behind me maybe I will have more sense to consider training and diet.

Absolutely no need for an apology here! We all have these “everything is awful” periods an right now you are going through it. You’re super smart to not try to take on more - like, I aspire to your level of genius, smart.

Know that we are all here to support you and I’m not going anywhere - so, if/when you do decide that it’s transformation time or just need or want to talk, I will be here!!

Hang in there and keep fighting the good fight. You’ve got this because we all know you may be “little” but you are on Bad@SS Chicken!! :heart:

Thanks! Lifting always helps me burn off the crazy. Pretty sure NOT Lifting is what has exacerbated this situation.
I gotta get my shit back together :rofl:

Ditto - you absolutely don’t owe any apologies. You’ve got a ton going on, you’re a huge asset and a tough cookie! Whatever you need, we’re here to support, but you’re certainly not doing anything “wrong”!

You absolutely do not owe me anything or even need to provide an apology just to be nice. Firstly you didn’t say anything at all rude and I deff didn’t take offence or think you were being grumpy. Secondly, even if you were grumpy and rude (which you weren’t), that is what having friends is for (even if they are on the other side of the world). If you cant have a good whinge to your friends and loose your shit now and then, then who can you lose it too. Thirdly as a pome living down under I have skin thicker than roos tail. You are my friend and I like you chicken, you couldn’t upset without trying very very hard.

Those fcukers giving you that refurbished crap for sure.

I’ve got a DVR that has a super annoying delayed response to the commands from my remote; plus if I point the remote in some randomly “off” direction (which I can’t figure out since it’s like a half inch difference arrgh), the command doesn’t work at all. Skipping the commercials is an adventure evey.single.time. After I finish watching my stored up Good Witch episodes (hahah), I might give up on all my stored up Yellowstone episodes and demand some new equipment.
