Haha I wish I had an answer for you Mead.. Maybe its just years and years of routine? Just routine hammered into my brain that i can't seem to change? I would definitely chalk my workouts up to a soft addiction.. U ever feel guilty missing a gym day? And i dont mean like a rest day, i mean like missing a day you planned to lift on? that shitty guilt feeling? Same exact feeling i get when eating food the world looks down upon. Doesn't help im in seattle, home of organic everything.. I dont know mead.. But i'll keep up on calories, im not giving in totally.. Appreciate the kind words man.

if I take 1 day off I feel like I don't deserve my bed

last night as I rounded the corner that leads to my neighborhood I realized I was so high on endorphins it was intoxicating and I couldn't get the smile off my face

exercise is addictive, and when you been doing it a long time you don't just stop or take a day off, we all have our crutch or our passion, mine is my bike.

I like walking and jogging just as much but spending an hour on my bike is something I don't want to go even one day without.

I try to encourage people to never ever go to a gym, you can do 90% of your exercises outside with the exception of certain types of weightlifting * you should do this when you get home from intense cardio sessions *

Glad you feel that guilt too man haha. That guilt is also motivation though, not all bad. Guilt is a powerful tool haha.

Eat healthy dude trust me. I’m 53 and I meet some people my age who look like they could by father. I’m a decent looking dude but in America, being decent & healthy means you’ll look significantly better than your peers because they’re eating velveeta and other Kraft-Walmart garbage

THAT SAID, how the fuck did you come up with ground turkey, cottage cheese, and brown rice? What seasoning???? Was it good?

Hahaha all my meals are usually stupid like this.. As long as the macro's exist in the meal, i eat it. I'm not a foodie. Never was. Getting it down and in, is more important than how it tastes.. That being said, i still like tasty food haha.. Like when i went to texas and ate this at Terry Blacks BBQ.. Hands down. Best BBQ- Definitely love Texas Patriam [You must be logged in to view images.

And FYI, guilt has destroyed my month of gains.. I have let Mead and Skarlorn both down.. I am still trying to keep the amount of food up though.. But it's getting tough on day 3... Last night, i crammed my face with a spoon and peanut butter to stretch for some macros.. Enjoy this photo of my lunch..

A dog would 100% eat that. You blew your cover

Also Jeff, stop buying plastic water bottles. Not to be a hippie but I have grandchildren and those will destroy our planet way faster than the CO2 and methane

Thanks man!

HAHA! Dangit! In my defense, i was at work and there happened to be a unopened water bottle in the lunchroom, so i grabbed it so i didn't have to get my water container at my desk.. That was me being lazy, but i promise i do not drink or buy plastic bottles on the regular! I have a sweet purple starbucks mug with a straw [You must be logged in to view images.
