Week 35: double oops

 I will post on a Monday, i swear i will. But like this week it was an off day and then yesterday was scouts and today was BJJ and etc etc etc…I’ll fix it. Today is Wednesday and not Thursday…so by that pattern i should be back to normal on the 16th…mark your calendars.

Actually that’s kind of what I touched on last week but i severely need to touch on it again. Between chores and family in town and ink therapy i haven’t exactly had the most “by the book” weeks. I’m not getting four lifts in, I’m not getting three BJJ classes in, and I’m certainly not meal prepping as much as I should. Having the wherewithal to call myself out on my slacking: great! Fixing it: not so great. Again it’s hard to antagonize myself considering my excuses have actually been really good and safe reasons, but now that those excuses are out of the way i really REALLY need to get back into a rhythm and get back on track for my larger goals sakes. Step one: admit the problem. Step two: fix problem. We are at like step 1.5 currently so stay tuned.

Yeah dude family in town was hella fun! From watching the Astros and longhorns to taking in a Vibes game (minor league baseball here in the springs) to Sandy’s and pikes peak…it was a loaded few days for sure. Love you guys, thanks for coming up and spending some time with me…don’t get enough of that these days. Outside of that just more chores, meetings, work, and complaining about work. Oh and 1000 medical appointments but what can ya do.

It occurs to me that the way life is right now is the way it’ll be for nine months next year…yeesh…better get used to it. Anyway, forgive yourself and be kind to others…i may not align to any one religion/political party/cult but I’m pretty significantly anti-asshole.

S2 Bonus: ACL recovery

Image
It’s funny how this whole blog project started as an accountability thread for getting back in shape, which then mutated into a weekly log of my mental health recovery journey. Ups, downs, victories, and set backs run through this last year and a half and it leads to the understanding i can withstand just about anything. Then i tore my ACL. Now im stuck on the couch and my house will be a revolving door of family and friends helping me out over the next few weeks. All of that said, the first couple of days are gonna be intriguing to say the least so i figured I’d start this thread as a day by day check-in. It won’t be separate posts for each day, just additions to this entry so check back! Day 0: surgery and hell I was up at 4 for a 5:30am check-in time. Put on my cleanest cut-off shorts and lifting shirt and was ready to fuck this thing. I only really started panicking once they made me change and hooked me up to all the shit…but by then it’s like when they lock the rollercoaster bar ...

S2 E21: the end and beginning

Image
 Welp, it happened. Whole ass officially happened. Last Friday I took my uniform off for the the last time, snagged some stickers and a flag on the way out, and medically retired from the United States Army. Yeah, the target since fall semester of 2009 and the job that has defined my identity has all come to an end. Lemme pull this side thread for a minute because tackling how I’m feeling in its entirety is seemingly impossible right now. So Friday i pierced my nose, rather I went to my tattoo shop and paid a professional to stab me in the nostril and fill the hole with a cute little shiny stud. Coming from a blood line with already big noses, the swelling I’ve had since Friday makes me feel like inoki from Shippuden which is just excessive. Can’t wait for the next six months to fly by so i can swap out the stud for a ring but in the meantime its all saline solution and not laying on my face. It’s hard to put into words how im feeling. On the one hand this event has been on the hor...

S2 E52: Respite

 Damn, alright folks shake it out and off and away. What a fuckin year huh? Sorry it’s been a few weeks, it’s been pretty rough and tumble the back half of December to cap off an already chaotic year. Let’s get in to it. So the last entry dropped a week out from NYE. Christmas Eve i worked with my buddy then went home and spent some quality time with the dogs. Christmas Day was spent being disappointed in stranger things volume 2 and playing Xbox all day. The last week was just slugging through it at work before taking off for NYE in Ohio. Nothing much to talk about, just lifting and rolling and eating. After i realized i was doing the inbody scan every other day and letting the numbers hurt my feelings, i stopped fucking doing that 🤣. Be real with yourself about expectations and realities kids. The conundrum of my diet persists and so do I. Ohio was awesome, as always. We hit the Cinci zoo for the lights festival (Kyle, Kris, an absolute pleasure as always). Gotta pay respects to...
