Today I got my gut labs back. Pretty much what I was expecting to see, and not at all what I WANTED to see. Definitely connects the dots with intermittent issues I can remember as far back as 15 years ago. IBS with a side dish of SIBO isn’t what I bargained for this offseason. 🙄 HOWEVER…. Suspecting these results were coming, coach started the ‘fix’ two and a half weeks ago… so already that much closer to the finish line of getting back to the next growth phase. Had my little pity party. It’s over. We pivot. We prevail 🤘🏻

It's always an interesting conversation when guys at my gym who only workout for about 30-45 mins doing various exercises, machines, texting, taking pics/vids, for their IG feeds. Complain to you that they see no improvement. Then u try to give them a lil advice and all they have are excuses. They forget this isn't a hobby, or phase, it's a lifelong lifestyle.

DON’T WORRY. BE HAPPY. Kicked off Day 1 of Round 4, 12-week challenge. This 1st week will not push it too hard. Lifted lighter than at the end of last Round. No extra Reps on Set 5. Why? Because I fainted on Sunday from dehydration. Yes again at church (last time was in January for Anemia). My doctor wants me to drink a quart of Gatorade on Monday’s, Wednesday’s and Friday’s and boost my water intake to 90-100 fluid ounces. Drank both today. Felt so much better. Hubby & I went out to dinner with friends. UPDATE: Pumped out a 5-25 UBWO at home.

Getting it done 💪🏾
