Yesterday was 15 mins of SI/Spartan custom. Feeling a little bit of an edge but I don’t feel like I need to back off it.
On the workout front, I’m having to pull back more and put a focus on recovery. I do a light workout on Sunday then Monday is pure strength. Max effort on 3 exercises for 1 set after thorough warmup. Well I thought I’d be able to hit another strength or at least power day by now, 3 days later. So I’ll have to be a bit more patient and focus more on the mobility and conditioning on whatever muscles aren’t sore. So I got glutes and abs that aren’t fried. I could hit a workout of single leg RDL’s but I’m thinking kettlebell swings for the conditioning/power aspect. So for now I’ll have to stick with the mobility daily and just play it by ear until my body adapts or I come up with a better idea.
I was just talking to the person who I’ve had communication issues with in the past. Well they were kind of in a mood, a bit snappy. Of course they would absolutely deny it if confronted with it. There’ve been times where they make me feel stupid and like an idiot, just with how they talk to me. I learn though. I actually will have insights and remember that wait, before I talk about anything with this person do they actually know? No! But they’ll absolutely talk with certainty as though they do and somehow make it into me being the dumb one, and when confronted with that they’ll deny. So I learn to come up with better ways of approaching.
So I realized the person was in a mood, that they don’t even know about, it’s so weird to me. Zero self awareness. So in the past if I had recon I’d maybe set a boundary or something or feel like I have to stand up for myself. But I didn’t take it on, I’ve been feeling pretty damn good again lately. So I didnt internalize any of it, I actually had a chuckle about it because when it’s happening it’s like wtf all this bullshit being thrown on me, but I didn’t take it on. So I go back to my room and then I’m like well, today is a day so I won’t talk to them. Well, I’m feeling good so I’ve got to get back into the mix and so I go engage the person again, not to stir them up. Just for my own curiosity. Asking questions is just kind of how I roll. It’s a bit of a habit so I just changed the questions, instead of me not knowing I went with the facts. This is true but I’ll ask it in question form. To me, blatantly obvious and I’d be offended if someone did it to me. But I just wanted to see something. So I go start asking the questions and the person is going right along with it! ahahah. I couldn’t believe it. No argument no making me feel stupid.
From a kid I know a lot of the adults in my life were so mad because they felt out of control, they weren’t okay with not knowing. So their absolute certainty and need to dominate me like a peon is stemming from their own shortcomings and insecurities. I just forget and fall back in the trap, but it’s no pleasant so I started to learn and experiment. Since I feel good it’s not from anger or malice, it’s sometimes from my own entertainment and curiosity. To my surprise I do learn things and get reminded that yea, not everybody reacts the same and you really don’t know so just try something and at the very least you’re gonna learn something and maybe have some fun.
So that’s why I still wish I had a spot for PCC. But I’m still attached to SSX for now.
