Looks like you've made terrific progress, going by what I can recall from one of your earlier journals at AL.

I took quite a bit of time to myself in January/February and figured out how I wanted to work toward progress in life in general (what sort of career to work toward, my bbing goals, how to work toward happiness and what things fundamentally seem to bring me the most happiness etc.). Regarding bbing, I made a long-term decision to focus on bulking and gaining strength. Took a long time (until may or thereabouts) for me to get a good enough handle on my binging tendencies to quit major cyclical dieting and go for straight bulking. Fattening up a bit helped a ton too. Quality of life = much improved living at setpoint.

From what I can tell your time away seem to have been a positive experience. You seem a lot more at ease with yourself and composed.

I have taken quite a few ideas from your old journals and writings and have been able to make good use of them. Even little stuff like keeping a fairly simple diet with few basic foods that you enjoy for example. Helped me understand a fair amount about satiety and how to achieve it.

I like the people here, because it's a laid-back and thoroughly pleasant community. It forces me to behave

If you establish ahead of time what you're generally going to eat, you'll obviate the need to count calories, falling into a trap where energy is spent obsessing over numbers. Lifting should benefit your life, not detract from it.

As for your routine:

There are always elements that can be rearranged. So long as it's simple, without any excessive overlap between bodyparts, then it will be effective so long as volume is moderated.

Most people cut their cookies with a cutter, and limit themselves to what worked for others. So if you enjoy the routine you've set up, milk it before it's dry, then change it up. If you're ever depressed, or in need of a serious jolt, ROB-style training (very low rest intervals) is absolutely splendid.

How do you feel on the bromo? Speaking in general, anyone who's dealing with depression should avoid it; they should definitely avoid pergolide - that's just ridiculous.

I'd take nicotine over bromo anyday - again, speaking in general. Mastersmarketing.com, if you haven't checked them out, may have a better price. I've always been pleased with their service.
