Br0din Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 It's been a while. when you last saw me, this happened... I've mostly stayed the course, but I reinjured my back again and spent all last year trying to get back to healthy. And the better news is nice drugs that helped me deal with the pain... burnt out my kidneys (kinda stage 3 for those who are familiar with that). Goals: It's now time to go from this to this My tracking Cals and reduce sodium. 2000 cals. 109p/298c/60f and ~2000mg Sodium continue to do physical therapy and core strength work and work on shoulder mobility so I can do more cool things! There, simple and easy. 8 1 Quote May Br0din bless you with mighty gains, and may your shaker bottle always be full. Wheymen ...and, if you die...

Br0din Posted February 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 hit my calories, Macro's were slightly off (I was a little low on Carbs and a little high (+8gr) on fats) but overall not a big deal). I actually felt good doing deadlifts in todays WOD. Worked up to 225lbs.

It's a new condition. The short version is I hurt my back (again) last march. I took drugs to prevent the pain; those drugs where not nice to my kidneys; I started getting massive headaches through out the year, but I couldn't figure out why, took the same meds to fight the headaches until T-day. 2 days after Thanksgiving, I got a massive headache and I was super lethargic. I contacted my doctor and he diagnosed me with stage 3 CKD. I've been managing symptoms via nutrition, but apparently, it will never get better. I've been feeling a lot better and no longer lethargic during WODs or doing routine things like getting out of bed. I just learned about reducing sodium, so I'm trying to make sure I'm conscious about my intake. The nice thing is, for the first time in my married life, my wife is fully engaged in supporting my nutrition habits and not low-key sabotaging me. I'm now 3 days into being conscious about salt and I feel great. Brain fog is lifting, I have energy, and no headaches. 1 Quote May Br0din bless you with mighty gains, and may your shaker bottle always be full. Wheymen ...and, if you die...
