Thanks for hopping aboard, @TrainForPain! Your advice is always welcome. A maxim in the legal field is “reasonable minds may differ”, and I believe your divergence from @T3hPwnisher’s order of operations falls squarely in that category. I agree that physique-oriented training turns on one’s diet. But that’s no fun to talk a out, so here we are. I’m reading and digesting your advice and will reply more fully when my laptop is charged.

Thanks for checking, Chicken! I had to go to the ER 12 days ago and was put on another antibiotic for my gut. It’s working ok, but I’m not 100 percent yet. I’ve stopped exercising to not place a greater recovery strain on my body. Maybe next week, I’ll be able to alternate walking and swimming days, but I want to feel better first. I’ve had a Summer of Sickness, and I’m sick of it.

How are things for you?

A nice little lifting session, which I hope is a return to regular exercise.

The intestinal infection was a kick in the gut, dominating the majority of my summer. For several weeks, I only had energy to drag myself to work, drag myself back home, and lay exhausted on my bed until I could fall asleep. I spent a day in the ER and had to take four days off work.

Two antibiotics later and, thank God, I’m slowly recovering. Hopefully I’ll fully recover soon and return to full health and strength.
