How are you today?

[AquarianDragon]

^ So am I , but feel the same :-(
I'm finding rainy days and depression are conducive!

[Miles]

Suddenly I'm thirsty again. Doesn't take much to set that off it seems.

[Beau]

Happy, but a little lonely right now.

I feel all right, but summer lethargy is getting worse as the humid days come...
I've been losing my appetite too. It's too hot to eat anything but sorbet and tea.

Ooh, funny story from today. I went back to work because it's Monday right? Well one of my coworkers in my department asked if I was feeling better because I had taken last Friday off at the last minute. I should have said "Yeah, I'm feeling better. Thanks." Instead I tell him I took a personal day off because I had plans. Well now he wants to know all about my plans. I'm a little annoyed at him for asking me about my personal time so I say "I took three days off to date a man. It was a man on man date that lasted for three days" and walked away. He just stood there in stunned silence. lol

Later he came up to me and wanted to point out he's very accepting of alternate lifestyles. I said thanks for understanding and complimented him for not passing judgement people. He was quite happy with me saying that.

So he's another guy that's stunned I'm gay. At least he's okay with it.

Not too good. there was an emergency at work.

Really tired. Pushed myself to the edge in the gym particularly for leg workout. I enjoyed walking lunges with weights. Result's really showing. I'm happy but again, tired. My legs are sore.

Today is my rest day. But I still have to drop by to the gym because Mr T left his training book in the gym yesterday. I honestly think he left it on purpose because I saw him packed all his stuff. The training book was right in front of him.

Yesterday, he asked if I was going to come to the gym today. I said no. His face fell. So the training book ... hmmm. Maybe it's just me but I'm suspicious.

I need to do workout on my chest and biceps tomorrow. My chest is lacking. It's also my weakness.

Regarding to my former personal trainer, I decided to follow his training for another a month or two. Mr T wants me to try a new workout but I told him to wait for it. Whilst my former personal trainer can act 'awkward' once in a while, I decided not to hold judgement whatsoever on him. He was my teacher (And I still see him as my teacher) so he deserves my respect as long as he respects me. What baffles me is why he likes to wink at me.

I've implemented Interval Training into my morning exercise. I've been doing it since last week. I do it twice a week. Mr T was the one who suggested me to add Interval Training into my exercise schedule.

I do not follow exactly Mr. T's Interval Training workout. I have changed it a little to suit my body particularly my injured leg. I've replaced Jumping Jack with Push Ups.

My Interval Training Set:

Mount Climbers - 30 Sec
Burpees - 30 Sec
Push Ups - 30 Sec
Rest - 30 Sec

4 Sets.

I'm regaining my weight but my fat percentage is slowly reducing. I feel like I'm slowly getting leaner. Keeping myself busy at the gym helps to distract me from thinking about my surgeries.

I am good today. took the staff meeting at work today. The second part of my youth work training course starts soon.

I'm doing quite well today, but I've also noticed the lump between my middle finger and palm is growing.

I know it's a cyst and it's a common problem but it only appeared about a year or two ago. It's getting quite painful now, especially when I'm using a rolling pin or accidentally hit my hand on something. It's that type of pain that feels like it's going on longer than it is, as if you're breaking something seriously.

On the plus side, my old history teacher lent me a very pretty and expensive COLOUR text book for me to study for a resit exam

^^^ Get it examined by a doctor. If the cyst is interfering with the natural movements of the fingers it could lead to permanent deformation of how your fingers work. If its going to keep growing, now is the time to get it removed too.

I'm getting better everyday, a wee bit per day.
