Not stepped on the scales in around 10 weeks.
Mirror = looking bigger and leaner. Best shape you have been in
Gym performance= strongest I’ve ever been, setting weight and rep prs
Waist measurement= down 1.5 inch
Posture and shoulder health = 100% better
Scale = you weigh the same dick head
Me = crying on the inside.

If waist measurement is down and weight is the same, I guess that’s a great sign!

Yeah I’m only messing, scale weight is a terrible measure sometimes!
I have been ignoring scale weight for a while and only stepped on the scale because work mates would not believe I was lighter than 88kg + in weight. Wish I hadn’t stepped on, but it shut them up.

I’m a fanboy of Godzilla, Ultraman, and other cheeseball Japanese culture. Ultraman and the Space Giants were the first giant super hero shows in Japan made in the 60s (Space Giants beats Ultraman as the first by like only 5 days). Believe or not, for a short time in the early 2000s, Ultraman was the 3rd highest selling character in merchandise behind Snoopy and Mickey Mouse (Chesseball japanese super hero shows like Power Rangers, Ultraman, and Kamen Rider are really popular in Asia, South America, and Africa. It’s mostly the west that does not give a shit).
Something about seeing two colossal creatures/robots/characters fighting and colliding into buildings and mountains that is just so enduring IMO. Also, I will take rubber suits and model cities over fart and sex jokes any day of the week.

Am I the only one who’s tried egg whites and oat flour pancakes and doesn’t like them?
Idk why but EVERY single Italian fitness YouTuber or Instagram “”“celebrity”“” that I happen to see online is always talking about breakfast pancakes. Like really, there are like a million better options.
It sounds like something I wouldn’t bother trying.

Yeah, it’s really just egg whites, oats, and baking soda. Everyone seems to be crazy about them in Italy.
They have them with jelly, peanut butter, coconut flour, cocoa, protein powder, anything. But really, they don’t taste all that good.
Apparently those people never tried egg whites + blueberries + maple syrup or scrambled eggs + bacon + cheese + hot rice cereal at breakfast. I also liked to have a bit pita with eggs, cheese, sausage, and veggies last summer for breakfast. Sometimes even french toasts with ham and cheese. Pfff, pancakes LOL
Ahh, those stupid stupid italian people (that I’m one of coincidentally).

I hadn’t seen french toast in forever. Then I went to Singapore last year and it was everywhere. I haven’t seen it since I got back, it was like a timewarp haha
Yeah tbh it’s not very popular in here either.
I just happened to see a pic online once, and being the pig that I am I wanted to try them out and I was hooked.
Thinking back of last summer, I can kinda see why I got soft lol
My husband got persuaded into the intermittent fasting thing that’s been around for a while.
Conversation went like this:
Husband: “have you heard of this new diet thing?”
Me: “probably…yea”.
Husband: “Intermittent Fasting. I’d like to try it.”
Me: “Yea I’ve tried Intermittent Fasting. Matter of fact both of us have. It’s called: Paying all the Bills first”.
I laughed at my own corny joke, and he just stared at me.

Here we have the “Kodiak protein pancakes” that are equally as meme-y and stupid.
If you’re eating pancakes, just make peace with your decision.

Seems like there are two types of people who are very successful eating a very healthy diet. One finds way to make very elaborate, very healthy food that mimics the taste of less healthy options. Others just eat simple clean foods almost exclusively and limit the more extravagant food. Both work, just different takes, from what I have seen anyway.
My dad, who has never been a paragon of healthy eating or being in shape, said something that made so much damn sense on the topic that I’ve never been able to shake it. During the atkins craze of the late 90s and early 00s, my family bought in and we were doing the low carb thing (which is where I still get it from). My mom stocked up on all the atkins friendly cheats. The low carb cookies, ice cream, candy, pizza, etc. Aside from the fact that all the sugar alcohols go right through you, my dad said to my mom “Alright cool, you have your Atkin’s cookie: it would still be better for you if you ate NO cookies rather than eating an Atkin’s cookie.”
That same thought went through my head when I found myself snacking on Halo Top everynight for a few months. And, consequently, once I stopped doing that, I lost the 3lbs I had gained “out of nowhere”.
The tl;dr is that my dad is a wizard.

I bought some fuel cleaner for my truck and left it in my cab, unopened, until my next fill up. Well, I didn’t realize the cold + heat from warming my truck up made the seal crack. I got to one of my job sites yesterday early morning, throw my hard hat on and can’t shake the odd auto smell. My job site is an whole wearhouse that am auto body just moved out of so didn’t think too much of it. For the rest of the day tho, it’s all I can smell. Then, last night, at a board meeting someone asked if they could smell it. I finally realized, upon showering today, that my hair still smells of fuel cleaner. Didn’t matter how many times I shampooed.

I had to look it up after seeing a few particular posters say the same stupid crap several times. There is a site called “Natty or Not” that disseminates this type of garbage.
It says so on the internet, so it must be true!

Yeah if I hear ONE more fucker tell me about delts and androgen receptors, I’m going to hunt him down, lock him in a dark room and force him listen to U2.
Go inject 2ccs of oil into your delts, add in the ability to retain more fluid on roids and see what your delts look like. It’s fucking common sense and self-proclaimed “experts” can’t even figure this out.
