Crooked Posted January 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I'm so EFFING tired of being the only person who cares about my admittedly insignificant extracurricular activities. I know that they're kind of pointless, but when I make a commitment I see it through. I'm sick of being the only person who seems to prioritize doing the work you agreed to do regardless of how checked out you might be. I'm crazy checked out of all these things, but I do the work because that's just what is done. Today I had to write e-mails for other people to send just to ensure that they would get sent.

Brometheus Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Actually felt like my workout today was approaching previous strength levels. Not there but getting there! I get asked pretty much every time I am in a weight room whether I'm training for something. I wonder how often men lifting weights get asked the same question. I would venture to say not that often. You're training at being more awesome! Really though, that's kind of sad...aren't we allowed to get strong without competing? I will compete, but just because it's fun. Most people don't care though. Going to a crossfit box does have it's merits... Link to comment

I feel you here. I have volunteer work I do and a board of officers who CHOSE to volunteer for their positions and I constantly have to manage them. How many times do I need to ask you to send that damned email? Grrrrrrrr... But nontheless - you've got other interests and you care so this is really good experience for later in life when you have slacker employees.

Crooked Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Yesterday was a rest day. That means TODAY IS A GYM DAY! Heading over there shortly but I realized the university gym will be closed for "gym class" when I ideally want to be there. I actually resent that they keep people who actually want to be at the gym out so that people who resent having to be at the gym can have the place to themselves. Comeback Challenge Link to comment

I actually resent that they keep people who actually want to be at the gym out so that people who resent having to be at the gym can have the place to themselves.ugh, that is frustrating. but i suppose it is a school facility and needs to be utilized for school things or else they wouldn't have gotten any money to build it in the first place. i hope your awesome foods yesterday fuel a fantastic workout today!

weirdquark Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 The whole gym? Or the part you want to use? I also use the gym at the university and the climbing wall is occasionally shut down for classes, though so far not when I've wanted to use it. I've never noticed the weight room being closed but then I don't use it much. I lift heavy things.

Recipe for future reference: Cut chicken into small pieces, cooked in a pot with coconut oil. Added curry paste and coconut milk, then a bag of frozen steamfresh stir fry veggies, chunks of pineapple and raw cashews. Cooked until I thought the veggies weren't frozen anymore. Put cauliflower florets in food processor, processed until "rice" sized, then sauteed in a bit of coconut oil as well. YUM. Yes ma'am! Comeback Challenge Link to comment
