That’s the face to face time but your nurses and admin are doing a crapload of information collection for the doctor. The time the doctor spends with you is just so you have a face to the name that’s making calls that impact your life. Otherwise it feels a little like:

Nope, the purpose of the internet is still porn.

The internet still seems to be about dicks then.

I just got done with high volume deadlifting, and eating 2 lbs of potatoes with ground beef and sautéed mushrooms and spinach, and now I seriously wanna quit lifting.
And eating

One of the only things that keeps me going is that I get to do high volume deadlifts. Love that shit.
Edit: holy shit that’s a lot of potatoes.
Good thing this is the flame free confession thread…
On that note, I confess I am looking far more forward to my half marathon on Sunday than I was to my strongman comp I had last week. However, I think it’s because I’m looking forward to it being over.
I also confess I got fatter while training for a half marathon, which I think means I’m doing it right. But on that, good luck trying to outrun a fork.
I also confess that the world needs more Matt Dimel stories.

This needs to be trademarked and disseminated everywhere.

My stomach is killing me now. I’m a fucking idiot
I don’t believe anyone does slow eccentrics out of the occasional 4-6 week block where they think it is a good idea. Then they snap out of it and drop them.
You don’t have to believe it, but it’s a weird thing to not believe.
They’re pretty awful.
What do you consider slow?
My lunch and snack for the day…
Confession: I’m sick of doing this every. single. day. By the time I started packing the above, I’d already cooked and eaten two eggs and worked out (poorly…the lemon grass and rosemary didn’t help my back at all, @SkyzykS…I couldn’t even run slow and flat) (well, I DID run slow and flat, but then wound up with mild mobility issues, even with 600 mg of Advil onboard).
Anyway, I’ll keep doing it all, and I’m not even in a bad place, motivation-wise (thus the injured back) (or failing kidney). Just…sick of messing with the food. What would it be like to be all “I think I’ll grab a sub/pizza/McD’s for lunch!” and not have to spend Sundays shopping and prepping?
As a side note, here is a personal issue and a photo of my ACTUAL LUNCH. I hope this puts to rest any question there may be about the quality of info I share!
(J/K…I don’t think I really share any info unless it’s the stability running shoe question that comes up once a year or so.)

May I ask what happened?
I had major kidney problems for much of 2019 (17 years of undetected hydronephrosis for the win!!!) and it was horrible- not really physically, but mentally, no deadlifts for 6 months!!!
I much say I had it really good though
I’m not sure, but I’m joking about kidney failure. I just tweaked something working out on Monday. I didn’t notice it happening, just that it tightened into discomfort over the course of the day. I was doing hill sprints on the treadmill and kettlebell swings, cleans, and presses. I think it would have been completely nothing, but the following day though I planned to just relax and get some light cardio in I felt good, so wound up doing more (higher, faster) sprints, then went up and down the five flights of stairs at work several times and then…roughhoused…with my husband after dinner. As I tried to get comfortable for sleep I noticed what felt like kidney failure. Then this morning it was back to being mildly sore, so off I went to screw it up again…
I’m sorry about your illness, though! Hopefully from here on out it’ll be smooth sailing!
The perpetual 12 year old boy in me snickered way too much at this.

Another euphemism or?

If that didn’t help you might not actually be injured.
Are you an empath? I bet you are. One of your close friends may have hurt their back and now you’re feeling their pain.
