I thought it would help that I have already gone through Jug once before but nope! Very close to throwing up but I finished the workout. The main issue I think is trying to pick the most appropriate maxes to use for calculating your starting weights. I don't think it's supposed to make you puke! But if it gets better after this than you are probably golden. If you keep dying then maybe adjust the weights? 3 Quote Jǫrð, Delvian Nomad - Level 12 { Battle Log } Link to comment

Lol yeah its cuz I have spent the last week being lazy and eating like crap but loving every minute of it. I had a protein shake when I got home and it calmed everything down. But yeah I definitely see Jug as a guidline and I change the daily weight depending on the time I have and how Im feeling. 5 hours ago, Laghail said: Jug not, lest ye be jugged.

What kind of science/medicine do you want to do? I'm not a scientist but I work with physician scientists and science is.... I always loved science thanks to my dad (he had a chemistry degree and was a pharmacist and made us all equally obsessed with science) but the real kicker was my medical DISASTER and so now here I am having a useless MSW but instead working with physician scientists as an administrator. 3 Quote Jǫrð, Delvian Nomad - Level 12 { Battle Log } Link to comment

Lol thank you! I am planning on maybe going for anesthesiology but who knows. Thats cool I don't think we have any family members in medicine so itll be a first I am excited about this degree because its like all the major fields of science had a baby so there are alot of interesting things to learn. Thats very cool that you get to work with physician scientists. I am new to the science game cuz I am trying to transition from the i.t field over to medicine. Right now I work on the computers in the hospitals around here so I am so close! 1 Quote Link to comment

Volki Posted May 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Hey everyone just checking in So far I have treated this last month like an Amish youth on Rumspringa! I have been eating, drinking and smoking all the things while riding the rollercoaster of life stuff going on. My wife is working out of San Antonio (hour and a half away) so she is gone half the week while I am watching the kids when I am out of work. Summer vacation is coming so I will probably have to find another job so I can work nights and be able to watch the kids during the day. I am doing well mentally. Physically I am losing weight and I think I lost about 15 lbs this last month from the no lifting that is going on. I have just been swimming and walking with the kids and I haven't had the willpower to get back to the gym. Also I do not want to leave the kids at home to sneak off to the gym since they are still too young (7 and almost 9). I will be moving be San Antonio again sometime in the next few months so that will be another cluster cuss. Oh also I am still stuck with a Go phone so rockin the flip phone no internet life and honestly I kind of like it. I am forced to actually pay attention and find things to stay busy that isn't browsing facebook silently and sometimes verbally judging people This has helped me get closer with my family and it helps to keep up with the chores around the house. So lots of ups and downs but I am hangin in there. I can't promise I will be back next challenge but I don't hate the idea. If I do come back I think I am going back to my Turbulence 500\1000 routine and doing the walking and swimming stuff. Anyway hope everyone is doing well!! 4 Quote Link to comment
