AgentsSka Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 how was kay? Lots of fun. She was definitely shaking the rust off a bit. But, it was really good to see her perform. It was nice to hear a bunch of Cleo tracks too. But, it's so weird to see her on stage playing with USA. I can barely stand to be at the same soccer field as my ex, let alone playing music together.

nightlight Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 yesterday's workout: 8 min to build to a 2RM Power Clean and Push Jerk33x1 (2 reps obvs) 53x173x183x193x1103x1113x.5 i got one rep, but got lazy and didn't hook grip on the second rep and lost it. i felt like someone said this: i was also dizzy and pukey. so much that sydney bristow (asshat's bff) said "d, you look pale." then, 3xME power clean + push jerk at 80% of above, rest 60 sec between sets.since i felt pukey, i just did 83lbs, and capped my ME at 5 reps. WOD30 unbroken wall ballsrest 2:120 unbroken wall ballsrest 2:150 burpees20 unbroken wall ballsrest 2:130 unbroken wall balls 13:49, with an 8lb wall ball. Sydney Bristow had a bad hip that is acting up, and you know, i'm weaksauce, so we did 8lb. if i had to do RX, i would have died. i got an ab cramp. it was really weird. and we had to do the wall balls unbroken, or everyone in class had to do extra burpees. Today, coached 3 classes. (demo'd lots of power snatches at 65lbs, and box jumps at 24inches, and wall walks and nose and toes) then:drop snatches:33x353x363x3x273x3x5 my back didn't like these very much. i think it was more weight on my spine in the back rack. oy. split squats w/ 10kg in each hand3x5 on each leg ring rows focus on lats3x5 (these were humbling) then everything hurt and i was hungry. it was 3:30 and tin_man and i ate breakfast at 10am.

nightlight Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 also, i'm having a really bad night.like. crying at the drop of a hat night. don't read the spoiler unless you're ready for tears and lots of stupid feelings. i just want the feeling of being kicked when i'm down to go away. i want to believe that when my friends say i'm really awesome, that they mean it. i want to believe that i am awesome. but right now, i feel not awesome. i feel lonely and sad the only people i want to come and hug me and make it better are people who could care less that i even exist. and i hate that. i hate that i'm so weak. i hate that i can tell other people to be great, and go out there and don't give up, but here i sit; pretty much giving up. i wonder what i did wrong to deserve this. and then i feel even more awful because i have a great life. i have amazing friends. i have a good job that pays the bills. i have two part time jobs that i love. i'm pretty healthy, my family is healthy. but then i just can't be happy with that. the things i want so much, the things i have always wanted, i just can never seem to have. i'm always alone. and when i put it all on the line? as i do always? it doesn't fucking matter. i'm tired of being told that things will be work out. and that someone is out there. i'm almost 35. i'm done. i'm the happiest single person. i don't NEED anyone. i don't need asshat. but that want? it's sometimes extremely overpowering. and not even for asshat. i've had this dream about the woman i assume i'll marry. i can't see her face in my minds eye. i know what her hair looks like, and how tall she is, and how she walks. i know what she feels like and sounds like and how i feel. i've been having this dream for over 10 years. and i'm just tired of having had that (like, to a tee, with asshat) and waking up next to that and then having her freak out and go away. i hate that this person i've dreamt about most of my adult life is someone that walked away. i know i don't want what most people have. i know i want something amazing. and i deserve that. i'm just to fucking tired of waiting and being told that it's out there. because it just seems like a lie. and no, asshat has not done anything. i haven't seen her. or heard from her. i just want to go to sleep and wake up in the morning when it will be better. i can't sleep. and i can't stop crying.
