DMSI is in Testing Status... v2.5

[4Kingdoms]

Day 21 - v2.5 (end of week 3)
( sigh) My vacation is almost done. Two more days off and I go back to work. I bought a weight bench and adjustable dumbbells (IronMaster) months ago, finally assembled them and started a 3 day a week exercise routine 5X5 Stronglifts, my variation of it.

I tried doing 'Escalating Density Training' first and found it to be too exhausting. Great concept, give it a try sometime. 5X5 Stronglifts is supposed to be done with a barbell. https://stronglifts.com/about/ From Losing Armwrestling to a Girl to Squatting 190kg

I have a strong desire to exercise.
I have a strong desire to clean my home, more than usual.
For the moment, both seem to be more important than going out and meeting women.

Having time off from work, gave me some quiet time to think about my issues I have with emotional bonding.

• All my male role models were womanizers. I saw how 'hurt' the women were because of it.
  
• I've watch men and women lose their loved ones due to an illness and the 'hurt' they had afterwards.
  
• A guy I work with cheated on his wife and was devastated when she filed for divorce, my Dad acted the same way when my Mom divorced him.
  
• A guy left our company to get a job in another state to join his wife who had moved to find a new home for them. When he arrived, she told him she found someone else. He got stuck there, because he sold his home before he joined his wife.
  
• This woman asked her husband to move 50 miles from work so she could be closer to her best friend. She just bought a new car. After they moved, she quit her job and hasn't worked since. My friend got a second job and drives an hour to and from work each day.
  
• Another guy was forced to move back in with his parents after his divorce because the judge based his child support on his overtime wages. Net pay (take home) $8.00
  
• One coworker keeps to himself, great worker, too quiet for my tastes. Found out his wife and child died in a car accident 20 years ago and he's never been the same.
  
• On a more personal note, I take care of my Mom, 72 y/o blind since 30 from a tumor that pressed against her optic nerve. I don't want to take care of someone else after she passes. She's as healthy as an ox, does the 5x5 Stronglifts with me. She may still be around when I retire.

I love the respect I'm getting from using 2.5 and hope it continues as DMSI improves.
I'll just take one day at a time, keep exercising to stay healthy and Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera)
