Capitalism does this. Leave us feeling alienated. I wonder how many people truly like their jobs? But imagine life without one..filling in all that time... so much freedom...like too much...1 -

I can think of many, many ways to enjoyably fill my time. Unfortunately, I haven’t found anyone to pay me to do any of those things.5 -

Seriously though. My body hurts all the time. I am tired. It might be late winter depression. It might be trying to do too much.
I have lost the joy I used to have in working out. I still love the idea of being someone who lifts weights. I like that it became part of my identity. But it might be time to do something different for awhile.
I’m not changing anything just yet, but I think in a week or two I’m going to switch to walking and hiking as my primary exercise. I already do those of course, but they are the only parts of my physical activity I’m still enjoying so I might as well go whole hog.
I was scared to admit this to myself.13 -

Do you ever deload or take a week off?
Sounds like over training...
But your plan sounds rather nice either way 💕2 -

I deload every fourth week. It was “supposed” to be every fifth but I learned to go with my body’s natural cycle. PMS and all that.
It used to be I hated to deload & only did it because it was good for me and after I was rarin to go. But it’s not working anymore. I don’t feel strong and refreshed after.
I love what lifting does. Hopefully I will love how it feels one day again.4 -
Why is it so easy to get disappointment from the expectations we place on others?!4

Second of all...good plan. Winter definitely does things to people but I’ll be interested in hearing how you feel after switching things up a bit. 🤗1 -

That I am still bothered by a comment made more than a year ago by a person I knew and trusted.
The conversation was talking about my past and my rather promiscuous nature as a college student. Keep in mind, not as promiscuous as I could have been or even as promiscuous as people who hung out at the bars and clubs downtown (was never my scene), but still, promiscuous enough to be judged in a semi-small, Midwestern college town.
The comment made was "You really were the village bicycle, huh?" This comment coming from someone who has slept with more women than they can count, who doesn't even remember their names and who was not aware (even though I told him at the time), that my choices were my own. They didn't pass me around like a rag doll, I willingly made my choices to be with each and every one of them and am not apologetic nor regretful of my choices. Each choice was safe and consensual and I am still in speaking contact with most of them, even if that door to the past has closed.
It just reinforces one of the many reasons I no longer talk to this person. Perhaps he only meant it as a comment, not intended to stick, but it stuck nonetheless. And funny thing is, if I had said the same (or similar) thing to him, he would have flown off into a sulking narcissistic rage and thought nothing of it.11
