Notes:
2:19 PM: Really need to get back to eating well this week. I'm almost done with the 90 days and it looks like I'm going to come in at around 10 pounds lost, which is okay. The next step is to try and get under 255 by the end of June and I'm already thinking ahead that if I can make that goal, then getting to 245 by the end of September should be very doable. But, for those things to happen, I need to get back to eating right and working out 4 days per week. Last week I only worked out twice.
A problem I think is that, on a day to day basis, I'm so generally unhappy that it's easy to reach for stuff like ice cream. But, I've been noting in my head as well that the ice cream gets routine when I let myself have it like I have lately. I actually enjoy it more when I haven't had it for a few weeks. There's a term for that I believe, which has to do with decreased levels of dopamine production (or uptake or whatever) when you have ice cream (or meth or whatever) over and over again.
Then I come in to work on a day like today and just can't get things going. Man, I just really hate it here. Now I'm stuck in this office completely isolated from the world and I have nothing but incredibly boring tasks in front of me that don't matter to anyone but Steve. There's no family at home. No dog or cat. No vacation to look forward to. I don't have any books that I'm excited about right now. Baseball is kind of interesting, but not really a passion. Game of Thrones is interesting, but of course I know where the story is going. The best part of this last weekend was sitting at the Allegro talking to Steve and Garrett. Basically, I don't have a life is what it's getting down to. I hate my job and I don't have a life outside of that job, and so nothing much to look forward to or work towards on a daily basis. Of course, I have CrossFit, but that's more like something that I just subject myself to than something to look forward to.
10:47 PM: Excellent combination of volume and heavy load on the squats today. Not sure if I've ever done that kind of a squat workout before.
