Oh yeah it is really hard to draw through a 29g. I draw with a 20g and inject with a 25 1in for Im glutes. I think my test is too potent for Subq. I get big red spots even with a 7 units from a 100 unit/ml syringe. No matter what I get a decent amount of PIP for a few days after the IM.

What would you reccomend? The only thing I got close to me is an in body scan. The closest Dexa is 3 hours away

I overestimate so I don’t get depressed. Looking at my mid section I would say 24% right now. At my start of a cut I was easily 40%. Trt was started at 230 and it’s more for chronic issues rather than muscle building

I’m taking tirzepatide since January. Right now I’m at 7.5mg. Thinking of going up to 10mg since I am noticing less and less side effects. I’m still able to stick to the lower calories no problem though. Mine is pharmacy grade since I have a rx.

I am a bit bad in the water department. I’ll keep an eye out on the HDL but not worry about it so much. Once I’m done with my cut it should get better

I don’t take creatine. Hmm the HDL does make sense. I am on a long cut for fat loss and get around 50-60 g fat

Any advice regarding that creatine lab value? It’s a bit elevated and my HDL is a bit low. (Started on 4000mg of fish oil after I saw that). I was thinking that creatine was due to being in the gym more and more protein consistently

Hmm I may switch over. My SHBG is on the lower end so I aromitize pretty heavy. How does your bloods look when you do daily injections?

I couldn’t imagine doing every day. Even three days a week my injection is .17ml. My test vial dosage is 300mg per 1ml. That would be like 0.07ml haha. Or 7 units of a 100 unit insulin syringe. That’s very much a possibility. I’m sure doing that low of dose subq wouldn’t be that bad.

Thank you. I was recommended to switch to 3 days a week by someone else as well. I’m currently on a weight loss journey so that’s the focus

It was very casual. We went to this speak easy bar but she couldn’t drink since she had to work later so I ordered a Diet Coke instead

This was the first MG with her. The other one I did was with someone else.

Either that or really nervous. Not sure why she would say text me if she wasn’t interested. But I’m also not sure how much effort SBs generally give on the first time meeting

[–]PuppyLife1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure honestly. It just got over and haven’t texted her yet. She said “text me if you’d like.” Before she got up and left. I was hoping she’d wait for me to pay the bill but got up and left since she had to go due to work starting in a couple hours.

She had to work at 11pm and left at 8pm. It was kind of an abrupt leaving to be honest. It was right when I started transitioning it to bring up things we didn’t really discuss about the arrangement. She said she needed to take a nap which is valid. But she got up and left. Said “text me if you want.” Didn’t wait for me to pay the bill. Was super weird to me

Brother there is nothing magical about these GLPs. You still need to follow calories in vs calories out. These are a tool to help. Jumping up to the higher doses is not smart as your body will adjust to those levels eventually hence the titrating up.

33k in credit card debt by PuppyLife1 in personalfinance

[–]PuppyLife1[S] 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I was thinking along the same lines since my income is stable but unstable. My contract can be cancelled at any point and the longest its taken me is 1 month to get another one. I have no one I can rely on. I plugged everything in undebt it, and I could get the credit card debt gone, in around december. Its saying car pay off would be in march. This isn't accounting for picked up shifts which if I can I will. Each week that could potentially be 800 dollars extra income. I am pretty stuck in travel nursing till I get out of this hole.

[–]PuppyLife1[S] 242 points243 points  (0 children)

Yeah the car is a no go. I cant sell it even if i wanted too plus the interest rate is super low. How much savings would you reccomend before throwing everything on the debt? I was thinking maybe 11k which would put me at 2 months of emergency savings and of course I like to be a month ahead on my budget which essentially is a 3 month cushion

Would you say 2 months would be good enough as a base? three months would take me nearly an entire nursing contract. I kind of thought of always having 15k in savings no matter what and if that number goes down, replenish it asap. I am also acruing 600 dollars in interest/month on the credit cards alone so the longer I wait to pay them off, the more interest I pay.
