today in unexpected consequences of grief: my appetite has gone down. i've made myself the same breakfast 5-7 days a week* for probably 4 years: a smoothie made from frozen strawberries and blueberries, two scoops of WPC, a spoonful of peanut butter (used to use yogurt but i like PB better), water, and a banana. it's a great breakfast. this morning, for the first time that i can remember, i couldn't finish it. i tried, it tasted good, but i was just plain full and i poured about 1/3 of it down the drain.

MattA, i admit to having had the thought, "well, i guess i can finally find out what online dating and tinder and stuff is like." but honestly (1) my libido is nonexistent right now, i'm not sure i could get it up even if i found myself in an insane porno scenario where a hot woman was basically forcing herself on me,** and (2) it's way too soon, the very thought makes me feel sick. i'm still stuck on the fact that i won't see her or do the things i was hoping to do with her this weekend. in time, i guess.

*except when i'm on the road, obviously
**it's funny because while we were together i would fantasize about other women all the time -- an old colleague who is literally my physical archetype for hotness, that one hot bartender at that bar, whoever -- and all of that is gone right now. i literally can barely think about sex.

i'm grieving, man. not depressed, but sad. i feel loss in a way that i did not anticipate and that i can't remember feeling before, although this isn't the first time i've ended a long-term relationship it's definitely the end of my longest and most intimate one. this sucks. i'm sure it will fade, i hope it fades, but right now it just sucks so much.

off to the gym, let's see how it goes.

EDIT:

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: unprecedentedly shitty, CNS dead

- warm up
tons of layups and drop steps as usual but i couldn't even do full-speed layups. so slow.

- squat 285 x 5,3,1,3,5
meh

- stretch

pretty much all i could muster tonight. no motivation at all.

Sorry bud.  :(

a parasite in something i ate or drank. no idea what. i usually end up with what one of my colleagues calls "loose movements" over there but that was the worst full-blown diarrhea.

4775
haha the only time people have noticed weight loss in my face is after i was in afghanistan for three weeks a few years ago and i lost 8-10 pounds from nonstop diarrhea. only time i've had hemorrhoids, too, from all the shitting and wiping. sucked. i think i was 166 when i got home. even my NECK was skinnier, and it's not like a carry a lot of fat there as it is.

Sucks man...not a fan of 'breaks' :/ You're either down or not in my book.

yeah it's not a break in our relationship, just a break in communication to give ourselves time to adjust to being away from each other. i don't think either of us wants to never speak to the other again, we still love each other, it's just that we want/need different things right now.

4777
gf and i broke up just now, i think. taking one-month break until checking in. pretty fucked up about it.

ETA: can't say i didn't sort of see it coming, i think we were headed this way for a while. and it's probably for the best in the medium term. but it still sucks a whoooole lot.

if your cardio really does suck -- and it's hard to say, not sure what "most" of 8 miles is -- then starting with an attempt at an 8-mile run probably isn't optimal. you're better off starting with shorter distances and building up gradually over time to some predetermined goal distance, like 5 miles, and then just working at that until it gets easy at a faster pace than you started at.

Forgot to add I like the idea of starting strength, Texas, boring but big and the pavel 80/20 one but my main concern is having to backtrack and start off relatively light with a much longer build up.

why are you concerned about that? you don't have to drop back THAT far.

Gotta push through that shit man!!!! I usually switch up positions when I feel a cramp coming lol

oh don't worry, i pushed through. i just thought it was funny.
