I was absolutely cooked last week from how hard ive been dieting. 31 lbs down in less than 11 weeks while regaining my pull strength and maintaining push strength got to me. I took a deload and ate right around/above maintenance. Back it today.

My last ex also reached back out a couple times and we reconnected. We are taking things slow but seeing each other again. Staying private but committed. Im not letting it detract from training or fitness this time.

Haha totally get it. Both of us are in Christian male and female groups working through codependency issues and finding our own peace. I know won’t be seen as a smart choice. She reached out this time. Will see where this goes.
