I managed to keep still and avoid fidgeting while my girlfriend fell asleep on me as I sat on the couch.

I will be attending a special event at my old high school. Even though I haven't been what others would traditionally call successful, I have matured a great deal and now have a decent, varied life.

Since I was last moved, I sit at “work” (it feels deeply wrong to use that word, but whatever) almost in front of a haughty hottie I know essentially nothing about, nor do I really wish to, with a glass in the middle. My only interaction with her so far was more than a year ago, when we all walked to the top of a nearby hill. She apparently noticed something off about me when I walked past her, because she felt the need to make a loud derogatory remark, explicitly about me and definitely intended to be heard by me, but, as usual, addressed to someone else.

The good news? Well, I’ve paid basically zero attention to her so far, so I’m ahead in the who-pays-less-attention-to-whom game :jester:


I'm gonna have to withdraw my tiny contribution to this thread. Today, I ran into the haughty hottie when I went for hot water to make a litre of tea. She was talking peppily with a co-worker, probably trash-talking someone, but I didn't pay enough attention to be sure.

The thing is, I'd put a tea bag in the neck of the bottle, hoping it'd be easily washed down by the water, since I couldn't push it farther in without rubbing it and the inside of the bottle too much for comfort with my inevitably dirty fingers. Having forgotten about this minor complication by the time I got to the machine, I began to pour a mighty stream of hot water into the bottle, only to fill immediately the small volume at the top of the neck and have it spill to the floor, cooking my fingers on the way down. I let out a thinly muffled curse, still loud and sudden enough to startle the haughty hottie, who turned her head in a split second to see the mess I was making, and her companion. I apologized quietly like a moron, cleaned the floor and the machine with some paper and got the hell outta there.

I guess she's finally ahead, for good.

You made an embarrassing mistake, she was a b***h, intentionally, you're still ahead.

I mailed my fan letter to Denis Istomin. I hope he answers it.

Alright, time to actually gtf back into shape. Winter has been taking its toll. Monday I weigh in and start my healthy eating diet that I'm actually going to stick to for at least 2 weeks. Tomorrow is planning, buying groceries, doing mindset exercises so my head is in the right space. My housemate is doing the diet with me, which should make it more fun. New (financial) year, new me ;)

(After the two week primer, I plan to incorporate weight training exercise and keep up the healthy eating.)

In a few months I might actually be dateable again :D

Don't forget that the weight training will add weight so it might be an idea to take measurements before you start that otherwise it can be really disheartening. I think you wise not to start the diet and the exercise at the same time, that's just exhausting.

I'm into my sixth week of mindful eating.

Weight training aids weight loss, well, fat loss. It's pretty crucial for my long-term goals and health. But I'm so out of shape right now that I just need to shed some fat to get started, without the hassle of having to train out in the freezing cold garage! I really hate Winter. (Oops, we're supposed to be positive, haha.)

I'll be weighing myself because I do lose weight quickly and it's nice to see, but really it's about the way I look and feel :)

I managed to get out of bed this weekend, did some dishes and 3 loads of washing.

Bought a new crash bandicoot game which I’ll probably play tonight.

I saw a bunch of guys eating red pills off the floor & taught them some table manners.

got the washer and dryer mostly back into place after cleaning a gallon of laundry soap [the wet kind] off the floor with the GD jug decided to fall off the dryer, soaking the carpet and getting all underneath the dryer, then replacing the GD dryer vent hose when it tore when I moved the GD dryer out of the way to clean the GD floor. that was a royal PITA.

Not sure how some of these relate to L&D! :lol:

Body transformation Day 1, I've weighed in, had my first healthy meal, and am craving the crap I'd been eating lately - but I'm resisting :)

Also had a convo yesterday with someone to clear up where we stand with each other, so that feels good to have clarity.
