Been doing online surveys for cash. They're kind of fun. Made 27$ this weekend.
Yeah, I could be doing better things but eh.
Sometimes its the little things. This pays for the protein I ordered lol.
Found a great sale on that. 21$ for a Hershey one I like. Usually goes for 44$ got some high quality bars too.
Don't mind me. Working over 50 hours a week will make ya eat weird stuff when you don't have time. Got to maintain these gains somehow.
You know what I noticed? I can talk to some people about how much I love working out and they'll listen and some might even get inspired. Which is a bonus but not something they have to be inspired about.
Then there's the other people. "I want to eat food that I like. I only live once."
"I don't trust the chemicals in protein powders, bars." "So much saturated fat!!" "Creatine will give you a heart attack and shut down your kidneys."
First of all, I do eat food that I like. In fact, I'm supposed to include more salt into my diet. Second of all, put your ignorance in a blender 'cause you guys smoke, eat McDonald's and sit on your ass all day. I don't think i want advice from someone like that. And lastly, just because I was talking to you about MY hobbies doesn't mean I was imposing them on you. Stop projecting. Let me be clear again, I ENJOY myself. So stop shitting on me for liking something productive instead of playing video games. I'm too poor to play games (laughs and cries inside lol)
Why should I have empathy towards people who do absolute shit in life? You get what you give.
I recently got into protein bars in September. I cant really afford them compared to when I find the powders on sale. I don't like sweet drinks or shakes. It makes me feel sick. So I mix them in my coffee once in a while or in my greek yogurt which takes my from 20 grams to 45.
The catch is that I'm supposed to avoid dairy right now. Not intolerant, not cholesterol (see below), it's that it inhibits iron and I need that without taking pills. I have a blood disorder.
So what i do is time when I have my dairy. Honestly I could live without dairy, I don't really crave it that much. But it's the easiest thing to get in me with the protein boost right now.
Also, I always go full fat, I cannot stand skim.
I know I mention this in an earlier journal or at least I think I did. I had my cholesterol tested just because I wanted to. The doctor was reluctant but allowed it.
I am extremely proud of the results. Guess he was right but now I can be smug about it. My HDL is a little lower than normal but I can fix that easily but eating more healthy fats. So many are happy about how they look on the outside but I am amazed at how well my insides are. The numbers don't lie ;)
Total Cholesterol (Cholesterol, Total): 138 mg/dL
HDL Cholesterol (HDL Cholesterol): 49 mg/dL
Triglycerides: 62 mg/dL
Non-HDL Cholesterol: 89 mg/dL
Cholesterol Ratio): 2.8
I did some training with my vest tonight. Then decided to hold my uneven weights up to my shoulders in each hand as I walked.
Vest: 40 lbs
Weight:20lbs
Weight:30lbs
Altogether 90 lbs. It made me feel so alive but I only did it for a few minutes cause I know its not good for the knees.
