The “career” job is most important. Glad you feel like you reached that goal. The others will come =)
yeah career job!!
oh man things are still crazy. found a room to rent in the old north area right near osu… where i’ll spend my days off so i have a place to crash when i’m out and about.
need to rent an apartment up north. hopefully will do that this weekend.
love work!!! get to operate one of those GINORMOUS cranes. it’s really the size of a damn house. fun as hell now… so i better enjoy it before it gets to be work.
hard hat, metatarsal boots, jeans n a plaidy slothered in mud. it’s pretty hot. =+)
already finding all kinds of weight plates too. gonna try to get a huge collection. have all the boys keeping their eyes out for em.
will get to the gym one of these days. work will pay half… but not until next month…so i’ll probably try to hit the gym next week. we’ll see.
happy to be makin bacon and busy busy.
time for basketball and a couple brews.
been sticking to low carb/low cal during the work day and then having a nice sized dinner with a couple beers each night. still chubby as hell. don’t really care at the moment since it’s rainy and blah. just trying to stay happy! =+)
Short North?
I should probably make you dinner.

WTF?! Oh Deja, sorry to hear…that’s insanity!! But I’m glad you’re feeling optimistic - you are a far, far better woman than I 
Hope lady luck gets on your side - until then keep that awesome attitude, good things will continue to come your way!
Have a good one mamacita!
That is such a bummer. I hope you get everything worked out as soon as possible with no further complications.
wow it’s been a minute!!
with the craziness of finding a place, starting a job, working a bunch, buying a car, etc etc i have managed to avoid training for a good 7-8 weeks.
luckily i’m finally settling down…although i still need a million things and am sleeping on an air mattress…lol… but i have a gym membership. and i find a bunch of weight plates at work so i’ll buy a barbell and set up a deadlift station in my garage. gonna go back to 531 in a couple weeks once i get my strength levels back up. think i’ll use fsq, mp, dl, and bp as my main lifts. luckily my gym has a squat cage so that’ll do the trick for all those lifts.
working five 12.5 hour shifts a week so don’t have a lot of free time. but as long as i get in the gym 2 work days i should be able to make it work.
today’s workout:
shoulder circuit
bb bench press: 65 x 10; 95 x 5; 115 x 3; 125 x 3, 2, 2, 2

yeah there is definitely some serious training in this neck of the woods. but i haven’t had time to even think about that yet. and won’t for awhile. have to get together so much shit for the house and am working an insane amount of hours. i’m focusing on getting in the gym and trying to get a few hours of sleep and really don’t have time for anything else right now. hopefully we’ll slow down at work in a couple months and i’ll be able to have more free time to explore!
going to nyc again in july though. stoked for that!
we should definitely have a pw meetup in ohio. =+)

wow that was a hard workout to motivate myself to do. worked 13 hours today. had to run some errands after work. and after i got planted on the couch for a few… the idea of going to the gym was not a pretty one. but i drug my ass off the couch and got it done. just wanted to get a couple things in and see where i stand on front squats (since i’ll be using those on squat day in 531).
workout:
hip mobility
bb front squat: 75 x 6; 95 x 4; 115 x 2; 135 x 1; 155 x 1
neutral grip pullups: bw x 4, 4
db lunges: 35’s x 16 total lunges
leg press machine thingee: 170 x 15, 15
and sadly, after that i could barely walk.
now to get in a shower…slug back a protein drink…and get to bed so i can maybe get in 6 hours before another long day tomorrow. luckily it’s my friday though!!! and i have a ton of relaxing on this weekend’s menu for once! yay!!!
yeah for weekend!
