Notes:
No caffeine today. Shud be interesting! Wasn't got a pretty good headache in the evening and it stayed until i fell asleep. Ate a package of cookies and some chocolate. Not proud of it but long story short, that girl i mentioned earlier, i managed to keep her interest for another week but yesterday night she texted to say take care. Have not dealt well with it, she was probably the one but i wasn't present and blew the chance.

damn that sucks.

dno about "the one" tho.

thanks bro. i think she was more 'the one' than any other girl before her, if that makes sense. She's 32 so she had no time to play games i guess and i was thinking of taking it slow but she's not willing to waste time on someone she might feel is not that serious. Grieving today.. watched my goto michael scott dealing with heartbreak in the Office which always cheers me up with how OTT he is about it all. And i shouldn't take life so seriously. But then the cold realisation sets in that i waited aimlessly for about 2 years since the last girl i was actually interested in marrying and it might be a long time til the next one comes. I just can't bring myself to invest emotionally in these things anymore .. i feel i self sabotage cos i have a protection mechanism that prevents me from falling and getting hurt etc

know the feeling!

regardless, nothing wrong with any of that as long as you "learn from it". maybe at least think about what you would do/not do next time a similar situation comes around, just prepare a bit more for future scenarios (if they mean something to you, which it seems like they do).

pc!

Yep. I've started incorporating a little bit in and really enjoy it so want to do more.

I thought with your squat being what it is you could capitalise on that and get the side gains for vert as well. I remember gukl being surprised how high his vert was after not jumping for ages.

i think i def wanna run an oly program. but ive learnt my lesson from trying to self-learn lifts. had to unlearn a ton of shit cos of the bro-science introduction to lifting i had. lol. so hopefully i can do someday, esp when i get tire of normal gym stuff (already there only thing keeping me going back is not having reached the goals)

5 minute rests, took about 80 mins total.

btw just wanna point out i got my bloods back from last week (day after ending the cut) and apparently im still hypothyroid. so that sucks. it explains why i get so fat when i gain weight. also why cutting is harder for me than most ppl (but i just work harder i guess) .. shitty genes..

doc still wants to monitor it ofr another couple of months. he's pretty conservative on treatment which i respect. but it's will be like 8 months since i first got the diagnosis so im getting a bit impatient but whatever..
