5x a day

-
eating basically five times a day and lifting weights and taking in almost 100 grams of protein a day is starting to have an effect.

when i stepped on the scale this morning i was 131.0!!!! for the first time in 8 months i am back to weighing in the 130's.

and i am very happy about it. more muscle, more tissue and even more fat are all very helpful for me right now. it means i am getting stronger. that my intestines are adapting and working better despite my lack there of. i am building up a reserve. some extra.

we will see what the addition of starting jiu jitsu and riding my mnt bike will do. will i build more muscle or will i burn more calories than i can consume? back in 2008 when i started back at jj again i gained 5lbs of muscle in my first two months of going to class.

no matter what, i am happy in the fact that i am seemingly progressing. even if it is only in small steps. i still like it.

    Whoo hoo!!! I think the goal is for you and I to at least try to weigh the same, if not having you outweigh me.

The housekeeper said today I look like a gangster or mafioso. Do you agree? So I posted on FB a picture of my agility ladder and talked about how I use it for training for shooting. Most people kind of questioned it or dismissed it outright. Then I see a famous person posts a video of him today on FB using one and everyone thinks it's a great new idea. This actually makes me kinda angry. I don't like being dismissed or marginalized because my thoughts and ideas come from me, and not from someone "famous". Cause you know what, he isn't any better or smarter than I am. In any way. And just like MM93 grew up to take down VR46 I'm gonna do the same to all those who are at the top right now. Everyone is gonna know it and see it. Then there will be no doubting.

80% of individuals with MCI convert to AD within 3 to 7 years. Having both APOE4 allelles increases your risk 12 fold. Diagnosed with MCI this year. Amyloid PET scan in August. 3 to 7 years to Alzheimer's disease? That is frightening.
