Kicking backwards when I stepped. The sense of freedom comes after you take off all the weights, ugh. Notes: I got scanned by doctors today, but naturally, everythings inconclusive and I have to go somewhere special for further tests. Sigh. Guess my leg exercises will continue to be running, bridges, and weird banded stuff for the foreseeable future. Great job!

Usual evening rings was cancelled. Felt really down about food stuff and weight. Its so easy to put on weight and so hard to lose it. Weight going up despite 1800 calories a day and cardio. Have to plan food for a pre wedding party this saturday at our place, and so I got obsessive and felt all bad and stuff. Didn't binge or nothin though, so theres that. Catfish for dinner.

Did a bit of music, and played videogames for most of the evening. Hardly ate, and my cognitive skills went into the toilet, for a while I just watched bill nye on the couch. Watched a bit of MST3K with my giant barnyard clusterfuark of a dinner (chicken, beef, bacon, cheese, eggs) and went to bed. Great job!

tcw295 Posted April 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Tuesday I worked up to a 235x3 front squat, then did some ridiculous farmers walks, at least 300 pounds between the two handles. Where hamstring goes into glute was sore since fridays deadlifts, and now feels bruised, so I refrained from rowing on wednesday. Thursday I benched, and although I got 180x1, I failed a bunch of reps and felt bad. Also, in expplicably weighed in at 190 on the dot so I moped and my inner child yelled at me to eat sugar all day. Today I went to a climbing gym, and got that wondering 'cant close my hands' after a few minutes of climbing. It goes a way after a while, but boy did I miss it. Effed around in their as well, did some ring stuff, some bridges, headstands (which are way easier than I remember) and ran on the treadmill for 10 minutes while watching some guy do really awful half reps of 225 in between playing with his phone and drinking gatorade. Legs still sore, so no long run tomorrow. Trying to stay busy these days, fighting alot of inner turmoil over tracking and maintaining weight and just wanting to go out and eat things. Wedding soon though, so thats a thing. Put together 10.5 hours of videogame music for wonderful background tuneage.

Did a ton of walking on saturday and saw ghost in the shell (super good I think), and came home at like 11 pm with groceries and got a headstart on lunch prep for the week. Made some falafel that ended up turning out pretty awesome! I finally ordered a standing desk. Im getting to be pretty anti sitting, trying to move around alot, so its about time I get that going on at home as well. Oh, and I bought my first bag of coffee. Decaf starbucks pike place.
