Gym

I find the gym to be therapeutic, but at the same time I find myself in a love hate relationship with the gym. I think it is great for the most part, but then there are days where I don't want to go at all. I am either too tired or demotivated to even try. I especially hate it when I go to the gym and it is packed to the brim with people. That is particularly frustrating.

I was thinking about quitting, but then I wouldn't be building muscle like I have been doing. I have gained 15 pounds of muscle. I have maintained my waist size through the whole journey. I am lifting more weight than ever and now I can't even progress due to some injuries I caused to myself and because I don't have a spotter. Every time I increment my weight it gets harder to maintain as in lifting the weight to use it before I can even perform the main exercise.

I don't know what my aim is anymore. I still want to join a boxing gym. I want to learn self defense. As I am now I can probably hurt someone pretty bad, but the people I keep running into know martial arts of some form or another. I find that to be annoying.

I might visit a nutritionist at one point to learn more about how I should be eating.

The human body is a giant chemistry set and you can play around with it and see what results you get. It's both fun and terrifying.

I gave myself iron poisoning recently because I was eating too much kale. I had no idea that was even possible. I had stomach cramps and extreme bloating for a long while.
