LP from the bottom to Competition

It looks like you are down only 15 pounds since your August post--great job! You're on my list of those I'm rooting for (etc.).

Must figure out how to eat more

[kpsmiley]

Do you have a blender? Easiest way to get in a bunch of calories without having to eat. I have a Vitamix.

Yes blender. Unfortunately the chemo can kill taste buds among other things. All tastes and smells are vile. It’s supposed to go away and probably is but it’s painfully slow. For awhile, bottled purified water tasted and smelled like ozone. All eating and drinking has been by will, not desire.

I have been able to get at least a scoop of flavored protein down a day, sometimes 2.

What’s weird and worth pondering is that so many people struggle with overeating. I get it, but I’m more cynical lately.

Anyway thanks for looking in!

Exhausted. Bad eating and sleeping. Should have skipped a day but can’t lift tomorrow. Skipped squats.

Intentional light day. My goal is to continue LP as long as possible, but don’t know if I can until eating gets stable. Maybe soon?

Not a lot of time. Been eating a little better. Just a little. Under 200lbs for first time in 7-8 years. Discovered (rediscovered) Nutella. Why the fuck didn’t someone tell me? I can eat it on soft bread without gagging.
