I confess that, when I get off early from work and get to make my own lunch, I chose the following from the grocery store.
1.58lb t-bone
Quest bar
Zero carb monster
Surely THIS will help me recover from training

Yesterday about an hour before the work day ended, the A&W Mobile Float truck pulled up in our parking lot. Free Rootbeer floats for everyone! They were built in assembly line fashion, so they were a little light on the ice cream ratio, but still…
Damn!
90 minutes later I was killing it in the gym. For the first time in months I plowed through my planned workout without the crash halfway through. Efficient. Strong. And walked out of the gym standing tall. All things being the same -family stress, lack of proper sleep, some rushed crappy meals, stuck at my desk at work, etc… The Root Beer Float seems to be the only variable in this equation.
Therefore, I declare:
A&W Root Beer Floats are the best damned Pre-Workout EVAH!
I’ll see y’all at dialysis. Well, I won’t be able to see, either, but I’ll sense your presence.

I’ve found my best workouts come after eating half a family pack of Oreos and a 1/4 gallon of whole chocolate milk

I offer my wife the same exact logic. She believes that ‘she’s always wrong’ and ‘I’m always right’ simply because there is no argument from me when I’m wrong. About a year ago, said I never apologize. I then started documenting all the times I apologized for being wrong immediately. The next time she was wrong and said I never admit to being wrong, I pulled out my phone and listed all the times I admitted I was wrong.
…I found out admitting your wrong only counts if you started the argument defending your behavior and magically realize you’re wrong mid-argument.

I get the ‘why are you being so defensive’ when I’m accused of doing something I didn’t do (or not doing something I should have that I in fact did). My response is that I’m not being defensive, I’m just demonstrating the falsity of the allegations.
It doesn’t make for a very peaceful existence at times but I’ve learned the hard way that simply capitulating never ends well.

I did this exact thing for a different reason. When I showed her, she accusses me of making it up and going overboard being a dictator… Yeah, I’m the one who’s never wrong lol

My Holiday/Wedding/Honeymoon trip is coming to an end soon as I fly out of Hawai’i tomorrow morning and it has been the time of my life.
Its opened my eyes a fair bit to the lifestyle that Americans live as opposed to Australia. Just from the idea that the world and media alike spread about the US in general, I found the hospitality and general public in California and Nevada to be great. The biggest difference between the states and Aus is that there is a level of adknowledgement that is generalized in the states. In Aus, its a bit of hit and miss. A “Thank you”, “Excuse me” or “Hello” comes with a reply, no matter where or when.
Back home, its not all uncommon to be completely ignored when entering a shop or in public gathering.
I suppose my confession is that I had an assumption people Cali etc were going to be rude, and Hawaii which has a reputation for being kind and polite, I have encountered some of the most rude, disgusting induviduals ive met.
Obviously its only a short time frame ive been screened too, but from what ive seen, its been a real eye opener.

I w talked to some people who used to live in Hawaii and they all say the natives absolutely despise anyone not from Hawaii. Not sure how true it is but I’ve heard it from more than one past resident.

My wife was born and raised there. Her mom is 100% German, while her dad is Asian, and my wife took on the majority of her mom’s characteristics.
Despite my wife having been born and raised there, she encountered a TON of racism, to include systemic (schools preventing her from joining honors societies despite having grades well above those already in the program, flat out denied school acceptance, etc) along with violence.
However, she’s also spoke about those there that accepted her, and how much it was like family. Everyone is “auntie” or “uncle”.
Mixed bag, but she’s voiced to me she has no desire to ever return. Sad really.
As a CA resident, I’d say the only place you’d encounter rude people is LA, but even then, not really. People are too self-absorbed there to be rude. They’d have to acknowledge you first, haha. Surfer culture in the south means folks are laid back, the North will let you fly the freak flag, Central Coast is it’s own world (and an awesome one at that), etc.
Now Raiders fans…

Probably in the best shape of my life right now, I’ve been training 2x a day 5-6 days a week in grappling. Just going to suck because I’ll be lifting like 1/3 of what I used to and it will feel heavy and I’ll feel like a lil bitch.
Join the club!
Worked out in jeans today and didn’t warm up.
Oh, my bad. I thought it may have been a derailment of some sort.
The doms from a cold start can be brutal.
I was surprised, it didnt matter if I was in Calabasas, San Bernadino, Compton or Malibu… everyone was polite on face value and willing to help or speak about our trip. In Aus, thats generally unheard of.
I got to speak to a few ex-military Uber drivers and they really opened my eyes to how the locals strongly dislike the tourist industry.
Funny you mention Raiders…
I support them from over here, and have a few hats and shirts that I wear. The amount of hazing that I coped in Hawaii for wearing it was nuts. We attended the Pearl Harbour memorial and a guy literally walked up to me, said “You have some shit on your head” and smacked my hat off.
Absolutely nuts
