Woke at 209.8 lbs again. Win.
My wife leaves the bed if I have one. She can’t relax because she thinks I’m going to hit her. I feel terrible about it but I can’t control it. I only had one last night.
I’ve heard they’re a result of falling asleep too fast - like your brain and body are on different pages and the body fights back by twitching…?
Mine are always dream related too.
Same. My wife gets them more than I do, but I had a big full body twitch the other night. In my dream, one of my crutches went through a catch basin. Even in my dreams, I’m on crutches…
I only get them if I’m falling asleep in a chair or on the couch. Never happens in bed or a dream. Always right as I’m dozing off and then bam!
I get them too, usually right as I start drifting off to sleep. I think the rate which you fall asleep has to do with it (at least in my case), seems if I start dozing as soon as I hit the pillow my body reacts to entering the dream world.
Meh, I’ve hit my wife so many times. We have a king bed that’s split down the middle with pillows. My arms are long, but the pillow wall is taller than Trump’s so I can’t reach her. This seems to be the only effective way to manage it.
I do it at least 2 times a week.
My son was very jumpy when he was a baby and he kept startling himself awake, we swaddled him and that solved it. That could be an option!
Can’t help but sitting here chuckling, I once slammed my wife quite hard right on her head… And she had just been to the dentist and have had a teeth operated out. I wasn’t her favorite the next couple of days.
It’s been a while since I’ve had them though, but at times they’re pretty bad.
This happens to me too. I usually wake up after wife has returned the favour and punched me in the ear. !
I rarely get them as I fall asleep - I take a while to drift off - unless I’m really tired. Mostly they seem to happen in the morning when I’m dozing between wakes.
Woke at 209.2 lbs. I haven’t officially been tracking my food but my two work meals are still measured. My work meals have been a chicken sandwich or cheeseburger and veggies the past two days and it’ll be the same today.
I’m fighting off another cold/virus. I think it’s killed my appetite which is helpful since I’m not very active these days (at least it feels that way).
Could just be what I call “office flu”. I feel pretty crap everytime I have to spend a say purely office bound. I put it down to lack of activity.

Hey man, how is everything going after the T-ransformation? Are you gonna try to maintain your current leanness?
Woke up at 209.8 lbs.
I’m holding at 209 pretty well. I intend to stay right here as long as possible. Last year’s bulk and this year’s cut taught me a very important thing:
And for the record, I feel like I commit quite a bit of time to the gym by Average Joe standards!
Nice man. I think that’s probably a good place to be
checking in for a shoulder and new job update. Hows the recovery and how is the desk job going ?
The job is a learning experience. Taking complaints from people is the easy part. Today I got a new task. I get to review an incident where an officer shot a dog. It was justified but we still have to do a review/report.
The shoulder is doing good. I’m already getting to the point where I forget that I’m not supposed to move my arm and I start using it. It’s going to be a long eight weeks.
Usually pain will stop you before you do too much, but yeah, you’re a strong dude, so try not to rip any tendons off their anchors!
Good to hear that the new job is fine.
Whenever we’re using firearms (which is very rare) it’s being reviewed by another office.
Still I would find it very weird to investigate my colleagues, how do you/they treat officers working in that department?
Oh don’t move the freaking arm.
Woke at 209.6 lbs. That’s a huge victory - we had pizza and ice cream for dinner. My son turned three yesterday but the party is on Sunday. My wife wanted our boy to have a treat on his actual birthday.
We understand it’s a necessary part of the job. We open a complaint every time a citizen calls or comes in to accuse an officer of something. Most are garbage and cleared as unfounded.
Example - yesterday a lady claimed she was sexually assaulted by a post arrest search that was done by a female officer. She also claims the gloves were covered in pepper spray and it caused her skin to burn for the 72 hours she spent on jail. It’s a flat out lie but we’ll look into anyway. I think my new boss wants to track every single complaint to track the stats of false allegations. No one can say we didn’t look into their complaint.
