@Sven Vandenberghe thank you it was a good read! I like the idea of retaining water in muscles so that “side effect” is a positive one to me.

@Sven Vandenberghe I was low in iron and after I supplemented a few weeks I found my energy and strength return so markedly. I went from days in the gym to 4 since fixing this. My next phase of “supplements” were to get water and protein close to 1 oz and 1gram per pound of my weight. So now I’m tired of peeing all day and would love fuller muscles instead of full bladder. 😅 I’m hoping to notice a difference in lifting and aerobic endurance and get a few more reps in. I’m also supporting hormones with vitamin D and a beef organ supplement pill. Other than caffeine, I don’t like to take anything that’s not food or that my body shouldn’t be handling itself.

Good reminder! I always have 10grams collagen in my coffee, and been having a vegan 30gram shake lately with it. It actually tastes good.

@Jens Vandenberghe It’s my first time trying a vegan one! I eat meat and dairy through the day so I think it’s helping me get some veggies 😬

I started with a nice upper body pulling my workout! Later some of my therapy sessions were really challenging, but I felt my focus was to stay comfortable and assure my clients of their own strengths. It was a good day.

I’m trying to drink 100ozs of water and get 100 grams of protein each day, but I’m not yet in the groove of measuring it yet.

@Jens Vandenberghe I also managed to go on 2 nice long walks last week! The beautiful weather gets the credit for that one.
