Surviving the holidays

This life, this earthly experience, is really fucking hard and unfair. We all have to grind to navigate the obstacles that are thrown at us. I used to think life was full of wonder, but lately my mind has been clouded by doubt and heartache. When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade, but all […]

Mental health updates

Oooh, what a cryptic headline! What could he mean? Who is he now? What has changed? Not much, I’m just happy. I have the Lord to thank, my son, my friends, ashwaganda vitamins, a consistent gym routine, a supportive group chat where I can vent my mental health frustrations to, proper diet. I don’t have […]

Delusions of grandeur

Hi, my name is nathan beck and i’ve decided to be completely delusional for 2023. My head will be in the clouds for all of this new year and hopefully the following year as well. Call it farfetched but I am welcoming all blessings and manifesting great things for myself and my son. I am […]

My 2022 fitness summary

Much like Sp0tify Wr@pped (no free promo here bitches!) where it summarizes your music at year’s end, I dug into my 2022 fitness stats. I found a lot to celebrate: 86+ gym workouts, monthly averages of 1100+ calories burned, good sustainable heart rate numbers, etc. So it got me thinking, wouldn’t it be cool if […]

Moments of clarity

The past 3-4 months have been heavy emotionally at times, I will often wake up sad like that is the expectation. News is heavy, life is heavy, and meanwhile I’m being triggered into emotional trauma and it’s all very heavy. But the past week I’ve reconnected with God and it’s been refreshing. He’s given me […]

I attract love and goodness

Over the past several weeks I’ve noticed more and more people gravitate towards me, at random even! What does it all mean? Especially the last week, I was in line at a gas station when someone started complimenting my tattoos and I look back and he’s got this awesome neck tattoo so we got to […]

Creatine usage, keto gains update, etc

I stopped taking creatine, my reasoning was that I felt it was hindering my weight loss and the positive effects weren’t enough to outweigh that (yes this is a joke). There are other factors and i’ll definitely use up the powder at some point, it’ll just likely be revisited during a bulk. I use the […]
