Venting and brain droppings and swears. Oh my.
I'm combating my anxieties and insecurities every day. I'm not doing it alone either. I cannot in words explain how ecstatically grateful for that I am.

So much I miss. Such specific people I miss it with. Busy and exhaustion take such heavy tolls.

Managed to put on twenty pounds since early July. I know why, and I'm as recently as at this moment working on getting back on track. Here's to getting older.

It's become a country music Sunday. Good vibe, may this carry.

I had about ten minutes today where the noise went away. No clue why, but I wasn't thinking about everything going on or coming up. It was just...peace. In the moment. I'll cherish that.

Of all the generational curses I've broken, possibly my favorite is the curse of recognizing something is wrong and still refusing to do fuck all to fix it. I'm probably being harsh as it's early, but good gods.

Things have been much, but by the end of any given work out I still feel more goosed up than overwhelmed. Just counting my blessings and making a note to ponder what's got me in a mood today.

There was a time I felt at home around the old timer barflies. Discovered today that that was not at all the case anymore. Don't know if that's evolution or regression but it feels like a change of some sort.

I took six weeks off from tracking food and 3 of the last 4 weeks off from the gym. I only put six pounds back on.
I'm not wholly sure why, but I'm proud of that.

It'd be easier to be angry. It's the hardest choice I make some days, not to be. I sleep better, or so I tell myself. Gym tomorrow and the weekend gonna hit different.

I must remind myself that no matter how I feel like a pox upon my own house, that does not make me one upon others. I'm blessed to have folks that help me keep it real.

I haven't drank nearly enough to cope with current events. Happy 4th or something.

I'm getting so much stuff done this summer, he said with a specific regret in his voice. At least shit is getting done.

The highs are high and the lows are terrifying. That said, I'm coasting well. Might not hit this weight loss goal but I'm surprisingly comfortable in my skin of late. It's been far too productive a two weeks, which I'm fairly certain nets positive.

Great show so far. Damned shame it got so emotionally exhausting so quickly.

My current compulsion are at odds. Part of me wants to karaoke tonight. Part of me wants to give in to the dread and just sleep. Not permanently, just fuck me it's so much dread about right now. First day of summer drinking be praised, or damned. Daiiii dai...duh dai daiii.

I needed this weekend. It's not perfect, but it was the right stuff with the right people. Bless.

Things are slowing down enough that things are feeling weird again. This is the cost of not running one thing to the next perpetually, and I gotta find ways to afford it. Also 22 pounds , and that damned 8 is being stubborn about becoming a 7.

Fifteen pounds in eighteen days feel hollow today. Like I'm proud of the progress, but blah days have power I tell you. Either way, good on me I spose.

8 pounds in 9 days. Not sustainable, but we're flying off the bat to start this one.
