    I’m going through a significant downswing now. I ate a small pack of Starburst last week and I’m not sure if that triggered it; I also had gluten-free soy sauce while I was on a date on Saturday. A few weeks ago I visited my mom and ended up having some chewing gum, and some pre-packaged food like gluten free waffles, and I’m not sure if that derailed me.

    On Friday and Saturday I managed to stay asleep much longer than normal, and I got 9 hours and then 11 hours the next day. This is potentially a good sign because i can hardly remember being able to sleep that many hours in a row, at least on a back to back day basis.

    That was followed by days of 5 hours (foolishly listened to music at night which took me out of sleep mode,) and then 5 hours again last night (was too amped up,) so I’m exhausted, as usual. It’ll be nice to be able to sleep until 9 or 10 AM and just work later, unless I need to speak with a client earlier or something.

    Shortly after my last post, I also hit a rough patch emotionally for several days, and that may have also caused the downswing. I ended up not going to the gym for 3 or 4 days last week because of how anxious and distraught I was.

    Last week I eased back into the gym after the skipped days and I only did 10 sets instead of 15, because I really wanted to leave the entire time. Better than nothing. I also did HIIT on Saturday and Monday.

    I’m approaching Week 4 of the prohormone cycle and I don’t know if I should stop at week 5 or 6, if I’m getting suppressed or not.

    There is no ryhm or reason for downswings other then your bodies natural cleansing cycles. You can't really bring them on or turn them off. They happen. Constantly up and down with more ups and less downs as you progress. Dont' beat yourself up over it.

    The only thing you can do is ride it out and stick to the protocol STRONGER then ever until it passes.
