Wow you guys, I’m flattered that you all took the time to check up on me :).
Things have been muchly improving. I decided to stop powerlifting and focus on losing weight. I find if I get too heavy (like over 135ish) I get depressed. Maybe its hormonal, maybe its that I prefer myself a certain way , maybe both.
In 6 weeks I’ve lost 4lbs, which is the perfect rate in my mind. I’ve cut out little things each week and I am continually progressing. Not only that, but I’m enjoying my workouts again.
My split is quite similar… Saturday I squat for higher reps, and do glutes and shoulders , and triceps. Sunday I do back, back ext , cable pull through and hamstrings, bis too, monday I rest , tuesday I pause squat for lower reps and do military press and rear delts , shoulders and bis, Wednesday I rest, thursday I do front squats , chest, quads and tris, friday I rest.
My workouts aren’t strength focused, but good fully body sessions and lots of bodybuilding movements after my compound lift. I’ve also added in some blood flow restriction training for my resistance machines.
It’s all been a very nice, welcome change of pace.
I hope to lose another 5lbs or so and try to just maintain.
Work has been going great. I don’t know if I mentioned I’ve been doing very well, I’ve been asked to mentor and be a back up support specialist . I’ve also been assigned a special side project about a new thing being added to our website.
Everyone is giving me a lot of praise work wise , and it really is the most important thing in my life right now. I’m trying to make it a priority because I’d really like to be with this company forever and work my way up . I love my job and my managers and my whole department.
Love life wise is fine too , you might not agree though lol. I dont care about the guy I was sleeping with from work anymore at all. I’m finally free.
My old ex went missing back in feb. I never told you guys because I didnt want to even announce I was looking for him. I was worried he was dead or something, but his sister messaged me from his Facebook and told me he was in jail. She told me I could write to him so I did.
It was tulmoltious no doubt, but I missed him deeply and writing a letter was so therapeutic.
He added me to his phone list and calls me every day.
Hes finally sober, he has been for 4 months. I’ve never known him cleaner than 4 days. I’m really hopeful for him.
He apologized to me for a lot of things. I never expected that, always wanted it, never got it. He says a lot of nice things when he calls. In a weird way this is the healthiest it’s ever been. He will be in a halfway house when he comes out so I hope he can stay clean then too.
Gabe is enjoying his summer, and I have time off at the end of august for my birthday. Oh, and I found a rocketman costume for comic con. The one elton wore at dodgers stadium. I cannot wait until it arrives!
Take care all. Thanks for checking in
