@button No thank you. I’ve ordered a pull up frame from the motivation alone.

@button you still playing smash tho???

 

[button]

@jesuschaser1982 Very rarely, a few months ago I picked it up again for an afternoon and was able to still 2 stock a lvl 9 cpu, but haven't played since then. Definitely was my favorite game for a long time. Mained Falcon and Pikachu, Ganon when I wanted to bring out the extra salt...

@button So inspiring! you're where I would like to be!

Could I ask where you live? looks really nice with the plants etc. looks hot too.

 

[button]

@silentmatthew I'm in Northern California, a small town called Livermore. And yes it can definitely get hot here, not as bad as the desert but not far off lmao

 

[silentmatthew]

@button Sweet. Just thought the scenery etc looked cool, but that could have been down to your interior design ha.

 

[button]

@theholinessinme Yes! they should, my diet was just bad, and I wanted to highlight that I was still able to make progress without being optimal with what I was eating. Definitely not suggested to eat like that lmao

 

[theholinessinme]

@button Ah, I see. Thanks for clearing it up.

@button I have lot of back issues. Is there anything you can recommend for that? Any stretching exercises or something you did that helped you. Thanks

 

[button]

@hikkeydodger Could be so many things, but if you're spending your day mostly sitting like I was/am its easy to put an unnecessary burden on your back muscles. I also try to spend some of my time on my laptop or working, laying on the ground on my stomach. Its a great way to open your chest up and make your posterior chain not stretched out all day.

 

[hikkeydodger]

@button Yes I am and in my workplace I don't think they'll take nicely to me lying down on my stomach haha.

@button Damn, similar physique to me; I need a beard. Just as a related note, take a look at Fibre Fueled (here) which may help with your digestive issues and move towards a 100% plant-powered diet.

 

[button]

@jadorarie Awesome, thanks for the suggestion! I'm definitely going to check it out, been interested in learning more about gut health after going through all of this.

@button Thanks for this. Interesting read and impressive pics! However, one thing:

Always low on protein and high on Fat & Sodium

Would you mind elaborating on this? What do the numbers tend to be?

 

[button]

@brandyorrange Usually only made it near 75-100g of protein a day when I was actively tracking. Fat almost always was over 100g. Carbs were around 200g.

 

[brandyorrange]

@button And sodium...?

 

[button]

@brandyorrange Between 2000 and erm 6000 sometimes. There is so much salt in everything lol

 

[summerfun113]

@button You look great, but pull your damn pants up !

 

[button]

@summerfun113 Hahaha, note taken, wasn't always cognisant that people would be seeing all of that.

@button This woman finds you very hot.
Wow.
3 years of hard work pays off.
