Thank you… Especially coming from a beast mode expert like yourself ![]()
Very kind, thanks. I’m too keen on food for it to be a complete overhaul. I’m OK with that. ![]()

Did:
-Shoulders
-Abs
-Finished glutes from yesterday
Still going strong with this. Day 10 tomorrow is a rest day but I wont be resting as Im finding it easy at the min. Looking to create a good habit of doing these exercises as soon as I finish work each day.

Day 6 November challenge
Youre arm muscles are popping!! Great job on ur workouts!
Weekend are rest days for me. I feel accomplished tho after this weeks of workouts. I tried some new exercises that really got my muscles working. I focused on good ROM and time under tension. Will continue doing Progressive Overload this coming week. Although my routine will be different as its Fall Break for my son and he doesnt have school Mon, Tue, Wed (hes not feeling well so it may even be longer than that). Hoping for another good week!
I finished my plans, not sure what will be in the schedule today. I started eating a bit more carbs (from healthy sources, like buckwheat, spelt, millet)… The result is more power and less freezing! Which is positive isn’t it? At the end it is hard for me. It is calming my nervous system either, but I am so damn afraid to get heavier. I found pictures from 5 years ago where I had around 30 pounds less. This was hard. I would love to have this back. Anyway, I did not look happy on these pictures.
Wow ..this realization. I am working on realizing that weight isn’t everything. It does not define me.
I see you being super active. This is wonderful. The body / weight will adjust in time. We are fighting a lot more than just good diet and exercise. Hormonal and age changes play a huge role. Keep kicking butt Jules. You are inspiring ![]()

Look fantastic man!
keep up the good work
hoping your diligence is handsomely rewarded ![]()
i know what you mean. i got really sick this summer and lost like 20 lbs. i am still working on getting my strength back. have you prayed about it? i try to think of stuff that will help me accomplish my goal then ask for those things from my higherpower like for fat loss:
- help me get my hr up
- keep me from getting too hungry
- help me pick lower cal foods that’ll fill me up and satisfy me
- help me cut out calories i won’t really miss
(life hack)
same here but still like you, going to be active and healthy
nice choices errr’body have a great Sunday
