Moments at the park with my kids.
I recently took a few weeks off Twitter, Blogs, and Facebook.
As I did this, there were a few thoughts that I had but this one stood out:
You can always catch up on the tweets and posts… you can never catch up on the moments.
My kids are growing up so quickly… moments with my family are what I live for.
I love being so connected and forming amazing professional and personal relationships with so many great people. It is difficult to even put in words how social media has affected my career and life. The challenge for me is to continue to work toward a more balanced life that includes being connected. I don’t plan on spending less time using social media but I will be spending time differently.
I may be a bit behind reading tweets and blog posts but I know I will be there more often to catch the moments right in front of me.
Thanks to Dwight Carter for our phone conversation and his post that caused me to reflect. Thanks also to my wonderful wife for the reminders and the push.
So glad to hear that… no ‘cat’s in the cradle’ story in your life!! Great pics of the girls this morning… was quality time for me, too. Continue to grab those moments… they don’t come twice!
Thanks for the reminder, Chris. As a father of 7 year old twins I can attest to the need and challenge to Be. Here. Now in every moment. Thanks for sharing the photos of your girls. Be well, friend.
Yesterday I thought, “I haven’t seen Daddy Weej around for awhile,” and then I realized I’d been seeing so many Instragram photos of your little ones, and I knew you were spending your time wisely. 🙂
Chris,
I am so glad that you took time away from being connected to enjoy your family. Yes, they are only little once and it is gone in a blink of an eye, it seems. I look at my 3 and I am amazed at home they are growing up before my eyes.
Balance can be a difficult thing. I struggle with this as well. The person who loses out on time, seems to be me though, not my kids or my work. I am usually around a lot when I am not at work, playing with my kids. The difficulty is, once they go to bed, then I am back to work – online, on the computer, etc…. Last year, I often did this until 1 am. Yah, that meant that I wasn’t getting a whole lot of sleep each night (5:30am comes rather early). I seemed to manage all of it just fine last year, but I know that I can’t continue to do that – it’s just not healthy for me. I need to make sure I give myself the time I need for proper rest/sleep and recharging.
Thanks for the reminder.
Take care,
Tia
I have been feeling rather “random” (as my teens would say) with how I have been going about reading tweets and blogs lately and during these summer days.
As my kids get older it is always interesting to figure out what they need in terms of time and moments shared. Each summer can look so different in terms of that. It is often much later that you realize just how much the time shared meant to them and how it all fit in with developing relationships. Even with my older teens now, I still hear them talk about past experiences we had that I didn’t think they would even remember. Our shared moments may be less at their age now but it is great how we can share many memories and chuckles about things that they recall. It is often moments that were unplanned and just happened. It makes you thankful for the time you made, even if you didn’t think it was valued or appreciated at the time and you could have been off doing other “stuff”.
All the best in catching great moments ahead, Chris! You give great support to many through social media and I am sure however you dedicate your time will be supported as well.
Chris,
I always enjoy reading your posts. This one is especially important for the current digital age. It seems that unless we purposely put down the ipads, iphones and lap tops we cannot get away from the tweets, chirps, and bleeps that have become all too familiar. I know I fall victim to this each day.
There is nothing more important than family. My boys are now 18 and 16 and quite independent but that does not mean they need me less than when they were little – they just need me in different ways. My husband and I have always placed an emphasis on the family, the ‘ohana’ first. As I completed my first Grouse Grind in over 20 years yesterday, they were waiting at the top ready to give me huge hugs and words of congratulations. This moment reconfirmed all the things we have done to ensure a family that values being together.
Enjoy the time today, tomorrow and the next with your girls as they will always bring you to what is most important in life.
The tweets and bleeps can wait.
LGD-4033 is one of few SARMs that have had some human research done,
and the outcomes are impressive, with excellent muscle gains seen at very low doses.
With its particularly targeted androgen receptor activity, we
will see advantages in all related areas, but there are some
downsides with this powerful SARM relating to unwanted aspect
effects. Selective androgen receptor modulators are officially banned for use in athletic competitions sanctioned by WADA drug-testing insurance policies
and tons of different sporting bodies, corresponding to natural bodybuilding organizations.
SARMs are presently investigational drugs and due to this
fact don’t classify as a “dietary supplement.” Therefore, it’s
illegal to sell them as over-the-counter dietary supplements within the Usa.
We report two circumstances of liver harm in young males
who used ligandrol and/or ostarine for a couple of weeks adopted
by the use of substances for PCT. Acute liver injury occurred in each
circumstances after stopping SARMs while on PCT.
However, it’s necessary to recognize that the proof concerning these unwanted side effects is
largely anecdotal, with more research being needed to quantify them.
SARMs can be utilized for each slicing and bulking, depending on the particular sort.
For instance, Ostarine is commonly used throughout cutting phases to protect muscle, while Ligandrol is favored for bulking due
to its muscle-building effects. They provide a promising various with
fewer reported side effects and fewer impression on non-target tissues.
Deletion of this area eliminates nuclear localization and transcriptional activity of the
AR within the presence of ligand (34). The LBD of the AR is responsible for ligand binding, is just moderately
conserved among the many receptors, and contains AF-2 which is necessary for
the ligand-dependent full activation of the receptor.
While they do not seem to be but scheduled as controlled substances in most nations,
they aren’t accredited by the united states Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for human use exterior of
medical trials. Advertising SARMs as dietary dietary supplements
or for bodybuilding functions is unlawful. Nevertheless, SARMs
are often sold on-line as “research chemicals”, exploiting authorized loopholes that allow their sale and use without regulatory approval (FDA, 2017).
This user’s expertise indicates that low dosages of RAD a hundred and forty could improve the reward-to-risk
ratio, with him gaining 10 kilos and shedding a noticeable quantity of subcutaneous fats concurrently.
However, people prone to male sample baldness might experience some shedding on RAD one hundred forty.
Such telogen effluvium is typically transient and doesn’t end in long-term androgenetic alopecia unless RAD a hundred and forty is abused.
They are usually administered orally, much like pediatric medication. The DISC Trust is a
peer-based hurt discount service, part of the New Zealand Needle
Change Programme and a licensed drug checking service.
Nonetheless, the downside is water retention, that means some weight might be misplaced
after the cycle. Fish oil, NAC, vitamin B6 (P5P), and
Berberine are all beneficial ancillaries to support the potential side effects of
cholesterol, liver, blood sugar, and prolactin. Most importantly,
SARMs have a popularity for being so much much less harsh on the physique than anabolic steroids whereas nonetheless giving incredible advantages.
Are SARMs appropriate for women who need
to build muscle, enhance strength, and achieve a toned
and outlined physique? Find out all this and far more as I cowl
every little thing you should learn about the most effective SARMs for girls and the method to use them with minimal threat.
The key here is to keep up a low dose of just 10mg daily of
Testolone for the complete 8-week cycle since significant muscle gains
aren’t your priority on a cutting cycle.
Thus, it’s possible that candidate molecules similar to follistatin that
are downstream of AR and β-catenin and which mediate testosterone’e effects on the muscle may provide the specified selectivity of anabolic effects.
The AR-mediated signaling pathway downstream of
β–catenin may be a gorgeous reservoir of candidate targets for the development of selective anabolic drugs.
SARMs (selective androgen receptor modulators) are a new generation of anabolic compounds synthesized with the intention of becoming
a superior medicine to anabolic steroids. SARMs are a class
of compounds that act on the body’s androgen receptors.
These steroids act as keys to unlock receptors in our muscles Pros
And Cons Of Steroids In Sports (Newslabx.Csie.Ntu.Edu.Tw) bones, allowing a rush of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) into these
areas.
Suppose of steroids as a blunt software that can help
you understand why this is the case. Sure, they’ll assist you to build muscle
mass and improve efficiency, but in addition they affect different physique parts – sometimes negatively.
Although steroids may help folks obtain their fitness goals by aiding muscle development, different parts of your physique
additionally react to the substance, which may trigger varied unwanted
and undesirable side effects. Whereas SARMs are thought of much less hepatotoxic than some oral steroids, they don’t appear to be completely free from potential liver-related points.
Additionally, SARMs could suppress pure testosterone production, requiring post-cycle therapy (PCT) for hormonal restoration.
The rats required a 60-times greater dosage to copy the prostatic hypertrophy
of testosterone [37]. Dr. Ankit Batra additionally affirms that in scientific research, the
hepatic complications of RAD a hundred and forty “can be much like anabolic steroids,” despite
cases of hypertransaminasemia normalizing post-cycle [30].
SARMs are sometimes in comparability with anabolic steroids because of their anabolic properties.
The potential side effects relating to imaginative and prescient disturbances will understandably make a
lot of people hesitant to strive Andarine, and you’ll must weigh up the professionals and cons before deciding to make
use of this SARM. The advantage of SARMS over steroids is that they’ve reliable tissue specificity and are
capable of dissociate anabolic from androgenic actions.
More merely, SARMs can modulate specific androgen receptors, such as these present in skeletal muscle tissue,
without affecting androgen receptors within the coronary heart or prostate gland.
SARMs have entered the market within the Nineties and have since then turn into very popular within the bodybuilding community as they are introduced
as a safe and efficient different to steroids. Our take a look at outcomes show that SARMs decrease FSH and
LH by way of extreme binding to the AR receptor,
causing a decrease in pure testosterone levels. A lack of BMD significantly will
increase the chance of fractures and disability.
