So beyond a blocked nose and a cough, no other symptoms whatsoever for me. I’m very fortunate in that respect. I can’t wait to get back in the gym but just have to ride out the iso. I’ve been very careful to stay secluded to not get the wife sick and have been successful so far

So food wise, I’ve been managing to eat consistently+ get my shakes in. My weight is sitting about 82.5 in the am fasted and 84 in the pm which is good. I just need to hold this for long enough for it to be my set point. I’m in no rush.
I’ve started taking digestive enzymes with B/L/D and it seems to be helping A LOT with digestion and making it easier for me to consume enough calories.
Something to consider if you’re someone who has trouble eating enough.

Looks like you’ve handled this well. My bout with it was a crap sinus infection via a horribly sore throat and a fever. The fever was the worst I’ve ever experienced - all of my joints felt like they were going to explode.
I think it’s altered my immune system altogether. I’ve felt the same horrible fever symptoms with every minor illness since my Covid experience.
Covid isn’t exactly an ebola outbreak, but it’s no picnic.

Nope. I was close to getting it and then it got all political again so I held out. I’m stubborn and didn’t want to be forced to get anything by the government. I got the vaccine after I recovered with the hopes of minimizing the effects of I ever get it again.

BJJ last night and this morning. Slowly getting out of the white belt spaz mode haha. The more relaxed I get the more I’m able to express my creativity. I’ve developed a very aggressive guillotine that I’m able to use to attack, sweep and reverse from many positions and give a lot of higher belts real problems. Trying to find a competition that doesn’t clash with my roster is a pain but hoping to get out again soon

What are you up to these days? How’s the wife? How’s the career?

Yeah career is going great man, I love it! I’m working in the city based out of the busiest strip in my state’s capital city so it’s always busy, but I truly enjoy it. Wife is great, we’re just working towards a financial point where we feel comfortable to start trying for a family, which is cool if not a little scary haha
