At the fancy hotel now. I gotta say, nothing against the guest houses I stayed in over in Afghanistan, but there's something to be said for great coffee and temperature control. Also, I just got a real shave for the first time, which has me feeling manly as shit. Gonna go work out now and try not to spontaneously impregnate any of the foreign chicks in the gym.

last few days have been exhausting, working at least 12 hours every day. have still managed to get in some mobility and stretching in the mornings but no workout until today. oof. it's also really hard to stay fully hydrated here. the baseline sweat level is super high so i've been downing like 3L of water a day, plus coffee and tea (and the occasional glass of coke).

BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = moderate, which is weird because i slept for 8 hours last night and the night before: benefit of being completely wiped out

- warm up
joint circles x 10/each direction
glute bridge 3 x 15s/e
posterior rocking x a bunch
bird dogs x 10/e

- BSS ISO hold x 60s/e
LR, surprisingly easy with the left

- stiff leg ankle hop 4 x 20

- push up w/2s hold at bottom 3 x 10

- scap wall slides 3 x 10

- plank 2 x 30s

- stretch

30-60s rests between pretty much everything. very easy but got heart rate up for 35 minutes or so and it's better than nothing. gotta pack up then i'm making the drive back to kabul. keeping my fingers crossed that i'll get to ride in the land cruiser and not the hilux, but we'll see. there was a suicide attack in one of the towns we have to drive through (motherfucker killed a little girl and himself. fuck you, asshole, i hope there's a hell so that you can spend the rest of eternity dipped upside-down in battery acid while a rabid dog rips your balls off over and over again), so the big fear is that i either won't get to leave, or i'll have to drive north to mazar-i-sharif and catch a plane down to kabul. either option would suck.

what are the name of those elite nike socks u got? they basketball specific?

hahaha, anyways, the missus's sis went on her grad trip around the US, got her to buy me some of those nike socks, i told her i wanted long ones, unfortunately they only come up to mid calf. 

i read "missus sis" as like a drunk way of saying "mister suss," which is what i call my dog sherlock.

they have baseball in singapore, right? can't you get baseball socks?

well, the good news is you probably have some decent muscle under all that fat, so progress should be easy once you get your diet on track.

fantastic user name, btw.

today i woke up at 3:30, then spent 9 hours in a car. now it's 8:40 PM and all i've eaten are a bowl and a half of mueslix, some lemon-flavored cookies and soda. i'm not even hungry. it's so fucking hot. i'm tired as hell.

no workout today.

night before last (first night in kabul) i dreamed that i was hanging out with my family, possibly at the beach where we always go, and my youngest brother abruptly told everyone that he was bisexual. don't remember how it came up but i think he actually said, "i'm 50/50, guys." i don't think he's bi in real life, fwiw.
