Ahh. I wanted to see if you had the same thing I did without being able to recover from these bouts of illness. I have never been able to get back to the level I was at before.

Im in the same place with you with the pics, I know ck mentioned it and treil also. We'll be in it together.

Yeahhhhhhhh.... I've got them too Takes me an extra ten minutes to get dressed all the time because I don't know what fits and what doesn't

Why 3 different kinds of protein? (whey, casein, hemp)

Whey is good post workout because it is quickly digested and utilized.

Casein is good as last meal of the day (or mid-day) because it takes longer to digest.

Choices in protein depend on meal timing and workout timing. And individual needs, of course.

And the prize goes to Daisy!!!! lol Now what exactly is the prize.... lol I don't know.... ok ok ok I'll do my happy dance for you


LOL


Well at first I didn't have my casein so I was using just whey, but I prefer to use 1/2 whey and 1/2 casein during the day, cause it's in the body for longer than just whey. If it's before bed I'll use only casein.

And as for the hemp, well it tastes like dirt, so I only use it occasionally, lol. It's a plant protein. I can't eat chicken 5 times a day (because of past issues, and my system is sensitive now) I'm not ready to f*ck it up all over again just yet. lol Animal portein is acid forming in your body, so that's why I try and use something that's alkaline or at least right in the middle.

Oh just great, this photographer wants to do a shoot next week, I told him I'm off-season, and don't feel shoot ready, weight is at 120. He's seen me before at this weight, and apparently this is the look he wants me at.... Just great, lol.

Twinny this is very hard for me to deal with too, the idea that you are at his ideal and not yours, can really affect your confidence level. It is so important you have that confidence & comfortable level. Do you remember that switch that goes of when on stage or when your in front of that camera? It will come back on when you need it, after the inital panic. GO for it.

Plus this is a GREAT op to add these to your portfolio, a variety of looks literally at different sizes. Youll have your comp ready ones soon enough. Diggin' the variety
