It's that time of year again. To keep myself sane around this time, I usually bulk for 6 weeks with creatine, and don't really follow a diet because I like to indulge myself during the holidays. Does anyone else do this???

I have no willpower, so I have 2 choices. On one hand I can indulge, take the creatine, try to eat enough protein and start cutting in January. On the other I can keep tracking my calories and feel guilty every time I go overboard....

How about not keeping track of your calories and just eat wisely? How about not beating yourself up for it?

Just eat wisely 95% of the time, go ahead and pig out on Thanksgiving (it's normal! ) and then just get back on it and do what you do in January.

Sound like a plan?

Creatine in a nutshell helps get your muscles the nutrients that they need to perform, recover and grow. If you're not working out like you need to, feeding your body right and allowing the creatine to do it's job....why take it anyway?

Just a thought....trying to help my girl keep her sanity all she can.

I agree with Fit ... don't beat yourself up about the holidays, but I'm also a believer in why making loosing the weight in the new year harder than it has to be. I think it comes down to:
you know you body and how it responds to exercise
you know your goal(s) and how hard you will work to get it

If you can reach your goal(s) while enjoying the holidays, great, if you don't think you can, then you need to make the decision whether the sacrifice outweights the outcome.

Honestly? I've always bulked at this time of year, but I really don't feel like doing it this year...I just dont have the time or the desire to do it! I am gonna follow Fitty's advice, I'm gonna eat as well as I can, but I'm gonna live a little

I really don't have any goals at the present moment. I have been so busy with school that I haven't had time for "me" goin to the gym is just part of lifes "routine"

I'm out of the gym for a few days, this sinus problem I've been having has gotten WAY worse, the closes appointment I could get was Monday at 3:50 I'm hoping the doc can make me all better before Thanksgiving!

Just curious, but if you don't really have any gym goals set, why bulk?

I just ask because most that speak of bulking are body builders who pack on the muscle and then cut for a competition. Be careful not to get caught up in equating bulking with free for all eating.

Jellybean, do you guys have Prima Cares or Care Nows or anything like that where you live? I'd go to one of those today or tomorrow morning if I were you. Those are no appointment necessary and you can just walk in. You might need a cortisone shot.
