What Business is it of Yours Where I'm From, Friendo?

Hope it’s cool if I chime in with some online therapy stuff for ye.

Not sure how old your son is, but while they are still fairly young even up to my age, kids just want to go out and experience the fun in life. I’m pretty sure he isn’t going to look at all the fun he’s having, and blame you for not being the one who Paid for it. When you express that you want your children to go out and have fun, and be kids, they remember that. I understand how as a mom you wish to be the one who provides these types of experiences for you child, but even in situations like these, let him know that as a mommy, you just want to see him happy. Kids watch adults and they see how they react to situations. I’m in no way patronizing you or anything, but it doesn’t make you any less of a mother for allowing your son to experience something he’s always wanted to, whether the money came out of your pocket or someone else’s pocket in the family.

Awe, thanks for saying that, what a wonderful post :heart_eyes:

I am glad he gets to have his experience and I know someday we’ll get to have it together and it wont be any less awesome just because he’s done it before. :slight_smile:

I think I remembered everything
it was busy and people were in my way
In my personal spppppace
which is huge btw,

good news everyone!!

I applied and was approved for a student loan .
Now all that needs to be done is for my to obsessively check to see if they accepted my application to get into the program in the first place!
Which could take a week or 3 months I have no idea…

it’s a 2 yrs program called correctional services
I could be a P O officer
yo, I got to go see my PO
That would be me
or I could work with troubled youth etc…
a rehabilitation program of sorts
I can learn about criminology and counselling …
I am excited so I hope they hurry up and let me know soon or it’s gonna be a lot of tummy aches

145lbs x 1

was really hoping to get 140 x 3
and actually did 2 sets of 2 but my first set sucked and I knew I could do better
so I set myself up better and got 2 again that felt perfect and when I watched the video I realized I probably could have gotten 3 so I got mad at myself and did 145 x 1 to make up for it
cause 140 x 2 and 145 x 1 seems to be better than 140 x 3

so ready for rest, three killer ones in a row . Save meh, I can’t moveeee.

Ive been trying to rephrase stuff in my head instead of deeming something a “bad workout” or whatever I just say to myself or correct myself like “no, it wasn’t bad, it just bothered your OCD.”
The fuck, I don’t ever have bad workouts. I have amazing manic workouts and workouts that bother my ocd. NUFF SAID

this was weak AF today so it upset me, IDK why… I think I was making sure that my elbows never flared so I probably couldn’t do as much weight as the first time I tried this when I was less aware .
So basically something good happened and I got upset about it, hmm

anyway I decided that if I am going to powerlift I have to just accept the fact that some little things are just going to hurt here and there for whatever reason and I don’t need to freak out about every little twinge .
I am smart enough to know what is an actual injury and what is just normal wow I’m hard on my body this hurts, shit.

Also, need to stop obsessing over my crooked so much . It’s annoying, but I’ve gone to at least 8 different chiro’s and multiple massage therapist and none of them have ever been able to help me. It’s all like, oh, you’re pelvis is twisted/ Or oh you’re hip is out and it’s pulling on the other hip. Or oh your one hip sits higher than the other, or oh wow you’re a puzzle < AKA I have no idea wtf is wrong with you" Wow even your collar bone looks crooked . OH wow you are the tightest person I have ever worked on. Blah blah
K IM TWISTED IKNOW
I squatting itself never really causes me pain so I should just enjoy it I don’t know if there’s much more I can do to De pretzel myself. IDK

So yes… my bar path was off for like 3 reps so I got upset. Also 135 was slow and I realized I was benching 135lbs paused for singles like a year and a half ago so I’ve gained zero pounds on my paused bench …
I think I used to bench more frequently

anyway, ya pretty disappointed.
My not paused bench does have the occasional PR but my paused bench always just goes down or whatever
Even tempo bench seems to increase steadily so IDK.
I think I am going to make sure I always bench 2x’s a week now
Squats always push everything else out of the way

I think Ill have one important for reps bench day and then one other accessory bench day
either tempo + CG or pausdd + board press
And Ill make them not like PR trying days
Just lighter work with really long pauses or really slow descent
like I could bench 130 x 1 for a really long pause with perfect bar path instead of 135 for an anxious pause and weird bar path

k today went pretty well considering I woke up and literally started crying about how much I didn’t want to go workout today.

NOW, I know what you’re thinking, well clearly take a rest day then, duh. But no, I realized I keep waking up and wishing every day was a rest day. I keep having to argue with myself and tell myself to go, because it’s a depression related thing and depression ruins enough of my life without allowing it to interfere with something that’s so important to me.

So there, I went, I looked weird and I had to wear glasses , but I went.
