Everything was great at first and I would say things are better than they were but I’m getting really bad acne on my back and my mood has been somewhat lackluster where when I started I was crushing life. I’m not sure if it’s E2 or what so I’m looking for a little direction I should be going over labs with the doc next week. I can’t complain about the progress in the gym or anything I’ve been adding weight to all my lifts and holding myself back to not get hurt. I was a gym rat before but it’s been crazy to see the progress come again. I definitely see my hard work pay off but I want to feel good out of the gym too which is why I got on.
The acne is crippling I don’t want to take my shirt off in public even though I’m like 5’10" 200 pounds with visible abs now. I had an itch and popped a zit under my shirt at the gym on my back. I’ve never ad anything like it. I got some acne body wash with salicylic acid and a scrub brush so I can actually scrub my back which I can’t tell if it helps. I’m not happy or sad really kind of cynical and don’t have the drive I had when I started a few months ago and can’t seem to get motivated. I made 45k in a q4 2020 when I made 40k in all of 2019.
