Brains, Brawn and Bamboo

Colitis is still there, but subsiding. The blood loss has been having an impact on me (getting cold when I wouldn’t normally, feeling tired and weak), but the frequency and amount is starting to stall -all without medication. I’m hoping that this is a sign that my body is self-regulating; finally beginning to heal itself. Time will tell if I can get in complete control again.

I’ve been casting half an eye to the future. As usual, I’ve lost weight…again…thanks to colitis having a tantrum. I’ll record just how bad it is tomorrow. As for now, I feel I need to put on some weight. I certainly want to get back to 170lbs as quickly (but as safely) as possible. I’m considering what to do with my diet (thinking more liquid meals, as less digestive stress) and potential training. Anyone with mass gaining tips/workouts etc., please feel free to help a skinny wretch in need of serious mass!

Have been thinking that, until colitis is properly subsided and under control (and hopefully that is the direction I’m going in, rather than suprise aggresive flare-up!), I might try some weighted-vest walks. Build some strength endurance with relatively low physical stress, combined with walking meditation, maybe?

Of course, I’ve also been considering 20-rep Death Squats supplemented with crazy mass gainer shakes, just to shock some weight back on. I’m an idiot like that.

I’m feeling better, even if I’m not better. Looking forward to increasing my training soon. Hope everyone out there doing fine - stay healthy, and be kind.
