OK, so I’m not quite He-Man yet, but a lot of the benefits of the Sustanon testosterone injection are kicking in. There have been a few unwelcome side effects, but all have been temporary as my body adjusts to this influx of hormones. I have also had a follow up blood test, the results of which make interesting reading. First … Read More
TRT Update
You may recall, on my last blog about TRT, I posted an update to say that I had moved from gel to injections. Sustanon, in fact. It’s very odd. I’ve been lifting weights since I was about 18 years old. During that time, I have avoided taking any kind of steroid, preferring to stay natural and, frankly, because I was … Read More
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
Thankfully, I am getting older. Of course, there are aspects of it I am not too keen on, and I resent the bits that used to work quite well playing up a bit, but it is better than the alternative. Dead right! It has long been known that women in middle age go through a massive hormonal change which interferes … Read More
No Such Thing As Luck
I’m not a big believer in luck, it is the destroyer of ambition. I know this because it has lurked in my background, encouraging me to be a bit daft-slash-lazy at times in the hope that the one-in-a-million may happen without me having to lift a finger to encourage it. Of course, this never happens. Once you unburden yourself of … Read More
The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same
I had reason to visit the doctor last week. This is not something I do often, or willingly, but there was a mental issue I wanted to discuss. I had watched a documentary on Adderall, the drug commonly prescribed in the USA for children with ADHD. The doc posited that it was being overprescribed to anyone that pretty much wanted … Read More
Don’t Dream It. BE It.
I was never a natural singer. As a kid, I would sing along to my favourite pop songs but no-one ever stopped me in my tracks to comment on how good my voice was. I could sing in tune, but I had no style, no control, no technique. When I decided that I wanted to be a singer, aged about … Read More
Challenge Your Long-held Beliefs
Something we are seeing a lot of lately is the phenomenon of Cognitive Dissonance. Brexit. Trump. Creationism. Religion. Terrorism. People are not only refusing to accept new evidence or listen to different points of view, they double-down on their own position, regardless of what they are presented with. Take Trump, for example. Most rational people thought it was a bad … Read More
Why Goal Setting Is Important
It’s January 1st 2018, traditionally a time to reflect on the previous year and look back at achievements made. It is also a time to decide what goals you should set yourself for the forthcoming year. But why is this important? If you were on a boat, setting sail on the high seas, you would want to know where you … Read More
Feeling S.A.D.?
Now the clocks have gone back, tens of thousands of people in the UK will start the downhill trek toward Seasonal Affective Disorder, or S.A.D. – as apt an acronym as I have ever heard. I hate to use the word “suffer” – it makes me feel like a victim – but I do experience S.A.D. Over the years, it … Read More
17 Years Not Out
Vikki and I had our 17th anniversary on the 18th October. She was just 17 when we got together (nearly 18 – her birthday is on 23rd), but that small fact means that I have been a part of her life for HALF of her life. That is crazy. What is crazier though is the fact that we have made … Read More
