I confess that I have tried lactose free milk for the first time because there was only two of these and a couple jugs of 2% milk at the dollar store. This milk tastes sugary, I mean it tastes good but, it makes me question if this is even milk.
I think I just heard someone say they need to do a few hundred bodyweight squats.

Thereās a solid chance Iāll get to climb a few poles in hooks. I know that doesnāt translate to most but itās quite a workout

No idea about the brand but lactose free milk is usually identical to regular milk except they add lactase, an enzyme which breaks down lactose, into two smaller parts (glucose and galactose) which we can then digest.

Oh, fun, fun, fun!
Im just glad that the last few times Iāve climbed it was in some nice ornamentals and I could just wear my regular sneakers, no spikes, no harness.

Glucose and galactose are ranked higher than lactose on the sweetness scale ā the milk tastes sweeter.

So Iām down 1.8 pounds this morning, hahaha.
I seriously think itās because this was still ringing in my head.
My confession is that Iāve been meticulously tracking water and food and following a plan since January 1st, haha, WTF?
I may try this lift more thing once I feel in better control of just stop eating so damn much. I donāt want to overlap programs too much!

Gonna overshare ā sorry for the novel, but itās weighing on me a lot lately as the date approaches.
I feel guilty about it, but I confess that I kinda donāt want to attend my best friendās wedding. Weāve been friends for around a decade.
I donāt know if itās going to be outside. I suspect many of the attendees will be unvaccinated. I have to fly to get there. More importantly, she has neglected our friendship because sheās supposedly so busy planning the wedding. Donāt get me wrong ā I am not surprised that planning a wedding takes a lot of time and energy, especially given her cultural background. I am more than happy to give someone space during busy times. I am good at that.
However, we genuinely spoke no more than three times in all of 2021. By that I mean a 20-minute phone call or something like that. I still sent gifts for her birthday and Christmas like we always do. She got too busy to return one of those things that did not work out for her so that I could get her something else. She didnāt send me anything, still insisted she wanted to. But I told her that it would feel disingenuous for me to accept anything, as if it were an obligation, because we had not talked in a long time, and I genuinely wanted to just video chat.
A couple weeks later she forgot my birthday and instead texted me on that day for the first time in months because she had a COVID scare. I greatly dislike my birthday, so I mostly appreciate it when people donāt do anything, but I wonāt lie and say that I donāt wish a little bit that my best friend would have said something. Still, I have definitely forgotten friendsā birthdays a couple times in the past, so by no means am I worked up about that specifically. It stings because of everything else before it. She remembered a couple days later and apologized. I told her how Iāve been feeling about the past year and all, and she took credit for everything. I thought she would recommend catching up again soon to try to make it up to me. Nope.
Havenāt had a conversation since then. Iāve told a couple people about this who were so concerned on my behalf that I think Iāve been numb toward it for way too long. Plus this is only one day; I worry about how ābusyā she will be post-wedding, and I know she and her fiancĆ© eventually want to have kids. How will I know that I can fit into her life?
I donāt feel like I have a choice. I mean, I know I do. But I believe that not showing up is very risky to our friendship. Itās hard to say no to a friend who knows everything about you. Plus she has traveled three times in the past to see me. I never expected her to treat me this way because we have handled long distance so well.
Ugh.

Thatās tough, all of it. In your place Iād go and try to do so enthusiastically, because I think that at this point itās the path of least regret potential. The decision youāre making, really, is whether you want to maintain the friendship or let it go.
I have tended to shut down toward people pretty easily through my adulthood, and find myself mystified by and very envious of people who maintain multiple long friendships. Iām trying to be more like those people, by not perseverating on disappointments and unfairnesses. itās hard, though. Iām an extrovert, but I wall off quickly in response to perceived untrustworthiness, which of course includes any minor betrayal or slight.

Random classmates have started telling me about their workouts

Itās weird isnāt it? People treat me like a diet/fitness confessional. Either they tell me about their recent victories or about some sort of screw up they made. I never know what to do with that information.
