Balance in The Force (of your Weight)
Feb. 25th, 2022 09:50 pmAccording to the scale, I have gained close to 5 pounds of muscle this week. I'm also barely losing much in terms of weight, which is something Michelle is also struggling with. I swear, I think it's psychological this whole weight thing. On the bright side, she is still consistently less than me by 10 pounds, which is good since I'm 6'3 and she's 5'2. She's still not hitting below the 200 though and is hitting the plateau which is frustrating her. She's considering a return to the Ringfit which I hope she does.
I've tried to do three sets of burpees on one day, then revolve to arm weights, then switch back to burpees. It's tediously annoying but damned if I don't feel like I must be gaining something. Just wish I could think of more exercises to do with weights aside from punching the air and doing curls. Regardless of all this, I still feel a little soft imo.
The 35 pounder I got is starting to get a little easier. Emphasis on "a little." I just want to be able to lift it up well enough to lift jug bottles, is that so weird?
Michelle decided to be really generous with me and got me some Master Grade Gundam kits and a new chair since she could tell my spine was really funky from endless time at the desk. Then she get me an extender for the keyboard. I've been a bit speechless but she said that she knows I spoil her so wanted to return the favor.
Tax season is done with us and for some reason everyone undertaxed me so long story short I owe 4k. SIGH. I tried to see a tax accountant to see if they could finagle a way around this and NOPE. I now owe 4k and paid 300 for someone to tell me that, lol.
I think with that my savings that I put in a safe account are kaput. On the bright side, Michelle is getting a year end bonus and her company has been doing really well so her debt is getting a severe clearing.
I'm trying to RP with some other systems and groups in a discord for a gaming podcast and I think it's been reminding me that I need to find flexibility and allow improv in my own campaign.
Work's been making me realize I don't need to push myself as much. I mean, I still do push myself though, just move at a slower rate too because I want to avoid making errors. So far it's working? Part of the other thing is I'm also usually clearing up the annoying manuscripts people don't want to do so that eats up more time too.
So that's my sitch. Weather outside has been all sorts of wonky. Michelle is enjoying the new season of Miss Maisel, and I got Phantom Brigade on my computer so have been obsessed with it. It's been a year since I played so the updates are really good.
Between that, waiting for Space Haven to update and doing Pokemon Arceus from time to time. I don't need a life(?)
