MMSLP has home repairs under the Nest Management section of the “good” beta traits. You are spot on that I’m fixing things for me (or should be). Every time I work around something broken or see something worn out or avoid a room because it’s cluttered it saps energy.

Yup. Fifty weeks should show some good progress. But I have no illusions about how long it will take to unfuck myself.

Makes perfect sense. I’ve been down the “diet” path enough times that I know it needs to be sustainable and not a quick fix.

You're probably right. Currently SL isn't too hard because I'm working on form and going through the app's progression (trying to avoid injury). Once it gets heavier and harder I'm sure I'll need to cut back on cardio.

Have you had a bad experience with it? I've had no side effects, but besides increasing my T number in the lab I also haven't had much in the way of improvement.

Staying power has gone AWOL. If it's not improved in three months I'll make sure to get broader blood work. Meanwhile everything I'm working on could improve it...

I haven't had estrogen checked. I have a follow-up in three months with my GP and I'll ask him to add that to the panel. Some fat will be gone by then which will improve the numbers. Thanks.

Fat and weak is a condition with a simple and reliable cure. I might need to put this on a poster or something.

Good point - I might need to adjust macros as I go. And a good reminder about covert contracts, my marriage has been full of them. I need to read NMMNG again...

Thanks for taking the time on the detailed reply. I'll switch to Rational Male for the next book. And all my wife needs to know is I'm going to the gym more and eating different...

You're right: all just talk so far...there will be some action on the next OYS. I was avoiding weekly because progress will be small ("yay, lifting ten more pounds") but regular accountability would be good.

Thanks. There's a great quote in Get Shorty: "You're trying to tell me you fucked up without sounding stupid, and that's hard to do." I don't understand men who post here asking for advice while simultaneously claiming none of it is their fault.

Solid point. I'm responsible for me. I can't control how she reacts.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
