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 Harambe. But yeah getting to see the bonus family and the Fab Four around the holidays just kinda feels right these days. Then of course glen and I watched stranger things and got disappointed (dm me, I’m not trying to shit on it if you liked it but yeah). Then it was back home to work some more.
2025. Damn what a trip. I mean really i feel like i lived 17 different lives across the span of a few months. From the army legal thing resolving to Liz leaving, becoming a retiree for a few days just to annihilate my knee for the next 75 days. Surgery, recovery, return to the gym and the mars. Getting a job in the real world, starting this discipline project, and now closing out the year with a damn good path carved out for the new year.
Don’t let anyone set limits for you. Fuck that and fuck them. God i spent so many years accepting roadblocks as “just my limits” and inviting complacency in to rip all progress away. Being in to fitness while dealing with mental health stuff is a bitch because it adds a whole new level to put in place before starting the diet and exercise bit. But staying sober taught me that I can do literally anything I want to do (obviously within reason…barely with reason) and there isn’t a damn thing anything or anyone can do to stop me. Try me.
We all kinda went through it last year huh? That sounds hokey but i mean for my friends and family…the yall who read this whenever i post it…there’s been a lot of life that happened. For me, a big part of locking in to the future is accepting your past. On the whole, i was happy with my overall performance last year. But there isn’t a damn thing a can do now to undo that. I accept the wins and losses of the last season and look forward to pressing the fight into this year.
Eat your vegetables, drink your creatine, love thy neighbor and theyself. Cheers 🥂
