    I wish I would have gone into the military. This is really boring.

    51 years old. Too old for military. I guess I'll deal boredom.

    That's actually a really good answer. :-)

    I wish I would have gone into the military. This is really boring.

    Not a rich white person problem. I mean no offense. I just feel like I'm not providing anything to society. I've wished i had gone into the military since I was pretty young. I just took a different path. I got into music, and then went to college, and then got into trading. I just feel...

    I wish I would have gone into the military. This is really boring.

    But, then again, my brother is a Southwest pilot who says he flies with guys who were military pilots, and they hated it. Too many politicians, too many commanding officers trying to earn points.. Trading is just so fucking boring.. I'm done by 10 AM central every day, and there is a 75 below...

    Creatine Loading

    I completely agree about the kitchen. Hence the strict diet. I've had to break some nasty old habits which I didn't know were nasty.

    Creatine Loading

    I'm on my way to getting the six pack abs I've never have. I want to finally get there. I don't have a percentage of body fat in mind. And i'm not concerned about my weight anymore, because I know I'll gain more weight as I build muscle mass. I just want to see progress in the mirror.

    Creatine Loading

    Baron, do you mind if I ask how old you are? One of the reasons I'm taking it is because I am 51, and I need all of the help I can get to do those extra reps and get more toned.

    Creatine Loading

    On another note, it's been a tough year for me, and I've hit the beer pretty hard on more than a few occasions. But creatine seems to dramatically decrease alcohol cravings. This was unexpected.

    Creatine Loading

    Very possible. I'll see how the next few days go.

    Creatine Loading

    I'm expecting this, as well, since I don't have much fat to lose, and muscle is heavier than fat. Especially with the additional water weight.

    Creatine Loading

    I only had one dose yesterday, and I was incredibly thirsty all day. I must have had 10 20oz bottles of water throughout the day. And I still had a bit of a headache when I went to bed. Excellent point.

    Creatine Loading

    Just to gain some more muscle mass a little more quickly. I've used it in the past, and it helped quite a bit. I'm pretty lean, but I still have some belly fat which doesn't want to go away. In my experience, creatine will help me do a few more reps of each exercise, which will help burn more...

    Creatine Loading

    Basically meats and greens. No bread, no pasta, no sugar, no junk food, very little dairy (not a milk drinker, but I'll occasionally have some cheese), no grains except for some occasional rice or corn, and very few carbs. Potatoes are also on my list of what not to eat. I'll have a cheater...

    That would be my first choice. I just took one dose about an hour ago.

    Creatine Loading

    I'm down 30 pounds since April 1st due to lots of jumping rope , body weight workouts, and a strict diet. I'm pretty lean, but I'd like to get leaner and gain some more muscle mass. I bought some creatine, and the directions say to load up for the first 3 days of using it. The normal daily...

    Trading and Emotions

    I don't trade futures. I only trade stocks which are trading on higher than normal volume. I've been trading a live simulated account through IB which is linked to Trade Ideas. Quite honestly, I've been losing a lot of fake money lately. Manual trading is going well, but I'm 51, and it's...

    Trading and Emotions

    That's a good checklist. I wish I had it in June. I'm not sure I would have followed it, but it would have saved me a lot of money if I had. Also, I've been working on automation more and more because of this.

    Trading and Emotions

    https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/losing-a-dog-and-trading.320367/ I lost a long term girlfriend and a 15 year old dog within 2 weeks of each other earlier this year. I kicked ass at trading at first, because I was in shock, and I was able to focus my anger on my craft. And then I fell...
