Anyway ,

Some not-so-interesting news :

I developed feelings for an adult human male. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS. I legit really liked/was attracted to someone that wasn’t Marshall shit bag.
He is just a guy who works out at my work and he seemed funny and unique to me. I realized that maybe the reason I have a hard time getting into relationships is because of my selective woman parts only becoming attracted to a very few people. It’s not like I only go after perfectly hunky Thor-type, quite the opposite in fact, it’s just very rare and random .

But yeah because I cant even talk to guys I told the evening staff if he comes in to tell him that morning desk girl says hi LOL, he came in last night and said that’s very sweet, but he’s not available .
WHCIH I THINK IS CODE FOR I DONT THINK YOURE HOT

but I could just be insecure and paranoid
I COULD be those things

WElll I mean I KNOW im those things, but in this instance I don’t know if I know if im those things


K
whatever

Bottom line is I am not dead inside, just dormant

YES normally I wouldn’t be so doubtful, BUT in this case I have literally never ever seen him with a girl and nobody else has either. Wouldn’t a girlfriend at least one time try the gym out with her boyfriend at some point ?

Maybe I’m just too wrapped up in the gym world to believe someone wouldn’t want to partake in lifting with their man !

No. When I used to train outside my garage, I always worked out solo. Wife was on a different schedule and worked out at home.

I’m not available either - but that’s because I’m not emotionally ready to be in a relationship, not because I’m not interested in someone or because I’m not single. I am just not prepared to be supportive of another person right now.

He might be saving you from another Marshall type situation.

Trust me, it’s not you.

Ok thanks for saying so buddy.

I just think like well ya, I look like crap at work like I mentioned before starting before 5am doesn’t give me much time to make myself look good . Not to mention my work shirts are less than flattering 

And I can’t wear contacts for extended periods so it’s glasses all day every day.
Also, my face gets really shiny
BUT IF U SAY SO
haha

You’re good peeps.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and sometimes dudes are just unavailable, for whatever reason. The dude might be gay. Or maybe celibate to heal himself up from a traumatic relationship.

Love yourself!

Not really. Last year when i was going to the gym i could never imagine going to the gym with a girlfriend. It was annoying enough if they called while i was training lol. Unless they had a genuine interest to go of course but otherwise

Interesting what 20lbs can do. Those pants on the left are a M and are snug. On the right it’s the exact same pants but in size S and fall down a bit.

Shits too great right now, for realz . You don’t know freedom until you’ve been trapped .

I’m just so grateful to be happy. I still have bad days obvs. Anxious days, emotional days , horrible sleeps , off workouts , etc 
 but it doesn’t affect me like it used to. Like it doesn’t ruin my whole day or cause me to make poor decisions . I feel fantastic for the most part, and doubt myself far less than I used to.
Keep on rockin

I saw Jurassic World yesterday . This might be the only place i am willing to admit this because surly i could never tell my son, but it wasn’t very good.

They kind of just combined the first 3 jurassic park movies. Some scenes were even like identical (on purpose)
also this one kid in it that was supposed to be like there for comedy was a bad actor and wasnt funny
also not enough t rex too much velicoraptor
not enough jeff goldblum
also stupid story line
and stupid ending
not enough of the theme song
.


it was bad.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

K so im on rest days now until Saturday . This week I had four rest days instead of three because last week I only had two instead of three. Just had to switch it up a bit with my long weekend last weekend.
AND THIS WEEKEND cause im top desk person and I can book off randomness to enjoy extra time over the summer with my son :smiley:

I have to say, going from one or two to 3 consistent rest days a week is a huge life changer for me. Stuff that used to be chronically tight is now only tight after workouts for a while and then it seems to sort itself out MUCH faster.

I’m still pretty crooked , but shit doesn’t feel so trapped anymore, it’s wonderful. Not to mention the mental aspect of it. I find it taxing just to prepare my gym stuff to take to work . it’s like UHG I have to carry three pairs of shoes!! Work shoes, squat shoes and chucks . So not having to do that very often makes the week seem less daunting.

Anyone who is like how I used to be with hating rest days/always feeling like more is better, I am just letting you know I have crossed the path and the grass is def greener on the other side!!!

I am officially off my probation period at work now (3month mark) and I feel really settled. I guess I should have already, but now I find I am peacefully organizing my office and what not to make it my own which I wasn’t really allowing myself to do before.
And everyone I work with is so awesome!! We got a new hire who is named Jennifer and she is short and has brown hair and guess what!!! She talks really fast because she has high functioning anxiety, LOL . INSTA BESTIE !!!
