Burly's TRT journey

[burlyman30]

Approx 60 hours past the 200mg injection:

Overall, I feel ok. Neither overly tired, nor overly energetic. I'm quite sure I have retained a bit more fluid, both intra and extracellular in nature. I am on a short vacation over at the Oregon coast, so I don't have a scale to weigh myself to indicate how many pounds I've gained. I'd guess somewhere around 5 or 6 total. Some of the gain could likely be dietary. Between family meals and vacation meals since Thursday, my carb intake is higher than my usual, and I would expect a certain amount of fluid gain. But not to this extent. Granted, I'm not overly puffy. Just a bit. Veins in my arms are clearly visible.

My blood sugar has remained stable and my appetite seems relatively normal, possibly elevated a bit.

Sleep... I continue to sleep more than usual, but being on vacation, this is more the norm. However, I think I slept 9.5 to 10 hours last night, which is still out of character for me. Mind you, it feels pretty good, but 7-8 is the most I would normally sleep even in these circumstances unless overly exhausted for another reason.

Attitude... pretty good considering I have 10 and 12 year old nephews (no wisecracks, DJ lol) with me and my wife for the last 2 days. I'm a little less patient than I was two days ago, but no temper flares. I think it's circumstantial, as I'd grow weary of them after a while, regardless of cycle or not.

I am curious how the body composition changes will manifest over the course of this. Even with in-range testosterone being the goal, it will still be quite an improvement from the prior sub-range period.

I will definitely report on this. I am equally curious. Obviously it is too early to report any real improvements yet.

It is probably important to note that over the past couple of years, when I would do a "bulk", even while on anabolic compounds, I found I would easily put on excess bodyfat and when leaning out, I found it much more difficult to do than in years gone by. This was, in part, a metabolism that was 20 years older than it used to be. But I have no doubt that there were hormones (or lack thereof) fighting against my efforts as well.

Is it bad that I just pictured fpr and burly cruising down the road in a convertible, with test vials and dermacrine in the back seat?

Bur.. While explorting TRT, are you watching your cholesterol and bp readings more closely? I'm curious to see if they are impacted in any way.
