Youāre right that was the 3.8lb for 65$ on Walmart site. I just paid 82 for the 5lb on Amazon. Always double chocolate.

I second this brand @Runningfree. Chocolate is good the vanilla is good, birthday cake is good, strawberry is good. I havenāt tried anything bad from them, have them on subscribe and save and I just check the prices and switch flavors for whatever is cheaper that month.
I forgot to say that this stuff mixes really well, no chunks.

I shall check out Amazon and try this brand! Thanks guys 
Double chocolate sounds right up my alley @Jasty2
The update no one asked for lol I found a 2lb tub for $35 and ordered that. I try to get most of my protein from food so this will last me a few months and itās not so expensive that Iāll feel like I wasted money if I donāt like it.

Last day of my 12 week cycle that I do. Time for 7-10 days off.
Good mental break. Good for the bodyā¦at least for me.
First time in years I got to 12 weeks without having to cut it short or miss a day due to pain or injury. Missed 3 days total in there - 2 because of gym closure (holidays), 1 because of illness.
Looking forward to an extended rest.

I watched a dude lift 990 pounds on an incline squat machine tonight. He did at least 8 reps. Only reason he didnāt do more weight was the rack could not hold any more plates! 11 45ās on each side. Just amazing!

Possible TW needed- Having a serious issue with my internal thinking recently. Iām sitting at 135 almost 10lbs up from last year. Iāve become more consistent with working out the past few months and I know that the weight COULD be muscle. I know muscle weighs more than fat but I am having the hardest time with the number on the scale. I need food to fuel myself and while I know that I still find myself trying to not eat to lose weight. When I look in the mirror I still see the 170lb me not the me that is wearing xs leggings. I donāt see a small person in the mirror. I try to stay out of the mirror because I will poke and judge and Iām so mean to myself. I try to remind myself to be happy with what I can do physically. Beasting workouts and runs but I donāt see that in the mirror. Even in this picture Iām picking myself. I can see a roll in my stomach area and it pouches out too much.
Just getting this off my chest. Thanks for reading

Thank you for the response Colin. I really appreciate it. Your words are so true and logically I know all of that so Iām not sure why my brain is messing with me lately. Iām always pushing myself and then days like today I beat myself up. I was going to run but ended up on the couch because of a random ice/snow storm. I worked out 4 days this past week and had a few runs in there too so I know Iām doing what my body can do physically but mentally Iām judging myself for my outside and I suppose in the end while it matters to me it doesnāt matter for others.
Have a great day friend!
And you are right about the eating like a bird part. Last year i wasnāt eating much at all. Some days I wasnāt even getting past 1,000 calories. Iām pretty sure I even posted about how I wasnāt eating enough and not building muscle like i wanted on here

You look fine, healthy. The number is just that, a number. That being said, as someone who also lost a bunch of weight after getting sober I am very hard on myself for consuming anything other than chicken breast or kale. Thatās no way to live. Sure, 5% body fat may look nice but thatās a miserable existence.
We are our own wost critics, the smallest flaws are exasperated in our minds while rarely recognized by anyone else. We all want to look good, it goes well with our newfound confidence.
I know you run alot, have you tried mixing it up with strength training?

I do weight training 3-4 times a week.
Thatās for sure. I also beat myself up mentally for eating things. The hubs isnāt a healthy eater in the least. We have 2 different sides of the pantry lol I had some oeros the other night and man i wouldnāt say what I said to myself to another person even if it was my worst enemy. I wonder if there are any good podcasts to help deal with this kind of thinking.

I know exactly what you mean girl, I do the same thing. Just challenge that and tell yourself positive affirmations as hard as it can be. And you look absolutely amazing so keep up the great work.

I think personal criticism of ourselves is necessary. How else can we achieve our goals if we donāt hold ourselves accountable? But weāre flawed, Oreos, fast food, Thanksgiving, it happens. Health and happiness is a balancing act.
Iām sure there are podcasts for this stuff.

You look great as you are but if youāre doubting anything I recommend checking out the MindPump podcast with any questions you haveā¦ those guyās have answered pretty much any questions Iāve ever had from injury recovery to diet to exercise in their videos.
Throw that scale away!
