Much more than just a workout!
Muscleforlifefitness: The gym is a lot more than a place to move, grunt, and sweat.
It's a miniature cosmos where we can make contact with the deeper parts of ourselves-our convictions, fears, habits, and anxieties.
It's an area where we can confront these opponents head-on and prove that we have what it takes to vanquish them.
The gym is also a setting where we can test the assumptions we've made about ourselves and the stories underlying them.
It calls on us to demonstrate how we respond to the greater struggles of life-adversity, pain, insecurity, stress, weakness, and disadvantage-and, in some ways, who we really are.
In this way, the gym is a training and testing ground for the body, mind, and soul.
The conflicts that we learn to endure in the gym empower us in our daily lives, as well.
The concentration, discipline, and resilience required to build a great body are also required to build a great life. If you can do one, you can do the other, because the way to do anything is, at bottom, the way to do everything.
The gym calls on us to constantly attempt new things, and thus is also a source of learning.
It's a forum where questions are at least as important as answers, and it cultivates what scientists call a "growth mindset" by teaching us that our abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work- a worldview that's essential for great accomplishment.
The gym is practical, too. Not idealistic.
It's a laboratory open to any and all ideas and methodologies, and it gives clear, unqualified feedback: they either work or they don't.
In short, the gym can be so much more than merely a place to work out.
It can be a refuge from the chaos around us; a world of our own that we create to satisfy our most personal and primal dreams and desires.
This is why the gym can give us a lot more than muscle and strength. It can give us more life.

Tried something a little different today with my oatmeal, it turned out to be delicious. For those who want to give it a try, here it is!
I mashed up an over ripe banana, 10 grams of brown sugar, 28 grams of walnuts, vanilla unsweetened almond milk, Splenda and cinnamon to taste and to top it off a little (about 2 tbsp) of Redi whip whipped cream. I made the oatmeal with the almond milk in microwave, then mixed in the rest of the ingredients finishing it with the whip cream on top! It was really good, give it a try!

Here is my contribution to the positive effects of resistance training. The first picture is last October, I weighed around 195 lbs, this is also when I started my resistance training. ( I've been going for one year now, every Mon, Wed and Friday) The second set of pictures is one year of training, I weigh 196.7 here. I weigh more but my measurements are all down and I am slimmer. I am by no means disillusioned and think I am super muscular! Lol, but everything is starting to fill in. I also feel amazing, I feel 15 years younger ( I am 46 ). Cutting calories helped me lose the weight, but lifting weights definitely helped with my body composition. This is why the scale can be deceiving for those who lift.
As per the weight gain, since August 1st I switched things up and stopped eating at a deficit and started eating at around 150 to 200 calories over maintenance. So I've gained 5.7 lbs since August 1st, but also eating at a surplus for the first time while lifting is amazing. Lol. The strength gains are through the rough, not the first month, but the past 3 weeks I really noticed a difference. I'll keep eating this way for a little more, then switch it back to a slight deficit.

Is there a benefit to taking casein before bed?
The summary said this:
"If you haven’t consumed enough protein during the day, then taking casein before bed can bene t you, but the same can be said of any other protein.155 Time of ingestion doesn’t seem to matter: whether in the morning or near bedtime, a fast-digesting protein, such as whey protein, seems a better choice for increasing strength and muscle mass than a slow-digesting protein, such as micellar casein."
The article continues to say that MPS (muscle protein synthesis) lasts for the same amount of time between whey (fast digesting 3-4 hours) and casein (slow digesting 6-7 hours) protein. Therefore giving no advantage to casein at bedtime.
This was all new news for me, I believed there was a benefit to taking casein at bedtime, but it seems whey will give the same benefit. You can read the whole article at examine.com. They did a whole study on protein, it was a very interesting read.

Just tried these and they are good! Definitely worth giving a try. The quest chili 🌶 lime chips are still my favorite.
