Again, felt great. Trying to stay as close to J.M Reactive Pump training as I’m able; without chains/bands and the like. I have scaled back my ‘everyday warmups’; to save the energy and focus for now.

Also keeping better/more track of my nutrition.

Finished alright; just no energy/ bad attitude to often these days.
Searching for a new home.

Slept in today (wens). I’m off the next two days. Gonna train hard, eat, and try to find a new place.

Onward and Upward.

Well, no news is bad news.

Right. So, I trained Thursday, which was a decent lift, and have not done much since. Went Tuesday, felt weak and shaky, and left after about 45 minutes.
Not eating, sleeping or feeling well overall. All from the ongoing domestic issues; looking for a place, and planning to move. My upcoming Ex. usually travels often for work; not so this month, making things worse in general.
Such is life sometimes.

So now it’s Wednesday evening. Planning on lifting the next two days, along with all the rest of the crap I need to do.

Onward and Upward.

:confused: Sorry to hear you’re going through a rough time, bud. :frowning:

Best of luck finding a new place! Its of course quite awful, harrowing, and frustrating, but I still hope you get a nice one!
