[KindaFamiliar 3,867]

Southern New South Wales, Australia

Sleeved

Feb 25 this year

Not 100% sure at this stage due to not weighing in very often. My estimate is 60kg (132 pounds). Will update when I weigh in on Sep 9

I struggle with digesting Protein so I get mine from shakes. Syntrax Nectar/Matrix are my Protein of choice
Anything protein - Beef, lamb, chicken, fish eggs

Plenty of victories thusfar. I'm back at the gym five or six days a week, planning trips, going fishing.. Just regular, every day stuff that most take for granted.

Interesting fact? Ummmmmmm... Which one do I pick?? If I give away too much then the mystery will have gone... Ok, how's this..

I'm an ex-Jehovah's Witness

Thanx for reading my stuff..

Kinda..
