Wed 28 November
Today is Day 66 of UMOP in total & Day 9 of the New UMOP2 = 66:9
Day 4 of cycle 2 - meaning that tomorrow will be my 1 day of rest.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Slept around 4am I think, maybe 4.30am or 5am.
Woke around 1.40pm today and realised I had committed to my friend of being in the gym at 4.30pm.
He had messaged me as I had asked for gym prices before sleeping so woke to his messages which compounded on my mind of the commitment I made to him.
Hes a good loyal friend, probably the first of his kind because hes made it clear to me that hes only pushing me for my health, for my sake. I am lucky to have a friend as this very much so!!!
I woke to snow. The city is in the minus/negative 1 (-1) degree C temperature now and snow is falling yet I knew this could not be an excuse.
I ate breakfast got ready and took a taxi to the gym. My friend got there 1min before me.
He took me around the gym to see and then left me to do my 20min cardio - very low pace walking, whilst he did whatever he wanted to.
He came to check up on me 3 times. The 3rd time he joined me to chat whilst I stretched. I didnt realise but he actually did fuck all there, he actually came all the way through the snow just to be with me at this gym.
I couldnt believe he went to all this trouble for me.
I saw myself in the mirrors whilst stretching and didnt like the way my face looks, im an ugly fucker is what I thought so @
Shannon will need my self esteem worked on later bro! lol
anyway I got back home on the tram, he went to a gym near his home to train - wow what a friend!!
I got home, I had 1 litre of water to drink that I hardly touched at the gym so decided to drink this and chill, get the apartment warmed up and then shower.
Instead I drank all the water and now realised im starving so put a vegetarian lasagne in the oven - will take 40mins to cook so came online to type this update up.
During the time I was sat drinking water, I watched a tv show im glued to and did a boost on tinder. Not sure if you all have this in your own parts of the world but apparently it shows my profile at the top of all others.
A female matched with me, we got chatting on tinder to each other, shes a cabin crew girl or as I call them an air stewardess. Is that term still used? anyway she didnt have snapchat which is how we could have a phone call without swapping numbers and I dont use facebook which is what she offered. I do have facebook but though its not personal with private info, its just generic and i havent told her everything about me so dont want that info visible to her.
She said she needs to sleep its only 8.30pm here approx so shes an early owl. She said shes on tinder to find friends (whatever lol) and maybe a boyfriend. She never asked me but im a DMSI user so im not on tinder to find friends lmao.
anyway so im now here, ill eat and then go shower.
The gym was great! I felt no inferiority though I have been dreading going to the gym due to this insecurity to be honest.
I plan and hope to go to the gym every day now until Friday, and then have weekends off.
I havent decided what to do tomorrow at the gym but just doing a 20min walk on the treadmill tomorrow will be 200% more than I ever do!
I couldnt get a taxi back home yet walked through the slippery icy snow to the tram and off it to my home and this hasnt put me off going to the gym.
If I can traverse this harsh terrain which I have then I can go gym any time and not have any excuses now except time!
so thats all. As yet nothing new to report, except that my friend motivated and encouraged me to get off my ass, get to the gym and get moving. I appreciate this. I hope for the day when the subs do this for me.
thanks
