I forgot my food at home and I don't feel like eating the fast food around here. Meh.

Come to DC. we can do partner yoga.

You could try being a little more subtle BTM, jeez.

I don't want to do that. I am going to partner yoga in a couple of weeks with a friend of mine. That should be fun.

Ok, this has encouraged me to look at the yoga schedule at my gym. Thanks a lot.

soulbro: i gotta try:/

How rude.

I checked out some Meditation Oasis this morning when I woke up, the Morning Energy one. I think it was ok, not really my thing. I think I'm going to continue doing what I was doing and get better at it. This seems best for goal related meditation. I have no idea if the other ones work better for other purposes.

I kind of drink too many kcals and do not care about it. So losing weight should be interesting.

bench press
195x5x2
195x7
The benches here are stupid and slippery. ****.

pullups

hang on bar to decompress lower back because lower back is a piece of ****
-a while

face pulls

sternum hurt so I stopped. Remember when I took off like 6 months with costochondritis? I do. Def not ****ing with my sternum.

ab rollouts using a rolling thing that I laid onto on my elbows because that's probably the way pussies do it as far as I can tell
3x10
the casters on this thing were stupid

Walking around looking at this girl who even lifts

Doesn't even matter. All she ever sees me do there is bench, press and biceps.

I feel small.

Have a great day.

I forgot to MSG you Saturday. I needed help. I tried to drink all of the hopslam at the bar, then I got hopslammed.

I saw some and didn't buy any. I like it. It's good. I think it's maybe a bit overpriced, idk. That's a ridiculous sentiment because I serially overspend on many things, including beer. I do not pretend to live a life free of contradiction though.

I'll PM when I drive out for a case of ZD. Have you been to 18th Street? It gets very good reviews. I have not.

It's time for a title change.

I tried some 18th st they had here, but didn't like it. I forget what it was.

It's permanent bro. You are just jealous of my one ab. It's ok. I understand.

"here"

Do you always post to 2p2 from a bar? That is awesome.

haha, not at the bar now, working. But, bar is third of a mile away, so close enough.

I was thinking the same thing but didn't want to say anything. I am tired of being the weightgain police. Sweet catch BTM.

How do you guys think I put up 195x7 on bench? Good looks alone? No. 20lbs in 2 days? Yes.

Just going through old posts and noticed I actually did this (in training), which I think is cool. k.

Old diet post / overall progress motivational thing for myself from Diet 1 11/4/2013-5/5/2014:
2/9/2015

diet check in

Diet:
week 0 - 2/02/2015 - 237.8 lbs (start)
week 1 - 2/09/2015 - 232.8 lbs (-5.0lbs)

Eh, just whoosh. Probably nothing, actually. I am eating pretty poorly. I also slept poorly because one of my kids was up, teething. And the other was pretty sad bc her mom moved out. Having a rough week. This week and next should be better.

I need to dedicate more time to meditation this week, it really helps make my subsequent/following days more focused and less anxious. For the most part though, just fine, being a human person, feeling feels etc.

In all likely hood you now weigh less than ytf again

I've found that a high protein couple days + low-ish carbs with a whiskey (or 2) before bed for 2 days in a row can be a major whoosh.

But I doubt you would live your life in that fashion.

I listened to Oasis Mediation when I went to bed last night, the 1st episode, relaxing as you go to sleep or something. I was very skeptical at first (per usual) but the stuff she was saying really surprised me. Like 'you are probably having lots of thoughts, that's fine'. Which was good and true. I thought she was gonna force me to clear my mind and rid myself of thoughts which is super hard. Next thing I knew I was half asleep, took out my earbuds and was zonked out. Granted I hadn't slept much the last few days so lol sample size. Can't argue with the results, tho.

Thanks for the recommendation.

I fall asleep to any audiobook if I try listening to it in bed lol

Jfon,
That's the main one I listen to. Probably have done that one 20-30 times. I am pretty good at running through that basic template on my own now, but I still find the guidance helpful and reassuring.

Tried 45 deg back ext, back said "Nein, danke." K.

walked a bit. A mile. In my shoes.

probably too-easy ab things

Sat in a squat for 2 mins. No back pain. My ROM is amazing. Too bad this is now completely and utterly useless.

Done.


Eating well. Everything is relatively good. Except my back. Back pain is near worst ever. Might start painting. I've never painted. Like art not the ceiling. Might not, too.

I hear fishing is pretty relaxing.

Was it Bonnie Rotten? I may have a thing for her.

Crash,
I grew up in the country (not grew up country tho) and I fished a lot as a kid.

BTM,
Fewer tats, smaller boobs. Much younger less been around many blocks look. Legit head turning vvhot though. Will chat her up if I see her in there again on the off chance she's into bald dads.

I think the dad thing will/is ending up a wash or a net positive. We'll see.
