Thanks, i had read some bits about it, but not how dramatically it can affect. Might be worth a test to see what my levels are.

I am using a calisthenics app and I really like it to be fair, but augment with the resistance bands and some cardio.

But I want to be ripped now!

I do have a before photo which I will use as a bench mark.

Oh I was not fit before! Fitness was always tomorrows problem. I am definitely starting to feel changes in my shoulders, and my arms feel tighter.

Its hard not to focus on! But I try not to dwell, and keep pushing through the exercise.

Good work.

I dont eat a lot of meat anyway, but god damn I love beef. Maybe its time to start looking at vegetarian alternatives like Quorn, its great in a pasta sauce.

Thanks, that makes me feel hopeful!

The diet and exercise is making me feel hungry, because I was eating out of boredom I am eating a lot less, but I am now drinking a lot more water, so I am getting up to pee in the night more.

I should have just stuck to the cakes.

I am currently in the honeymoon phase and enjoying it. Apart from cardio on the exercise bike, because the daily squats turn my legs to jelly.

Thanks, I appreciate the input.

I understand that this whole process is going to be more difficult without a gym, but financially its not feasible just yet. Also because I am at the beginning of the process, I figured I would wait until I knew I could stick at it, rather than start a subscription I dont use.

It absolutely is perfect
