Things that make you go :-)) take two!

my favourite phrase "it is by will alone i set my mind in motion". it's only an ideal for now, but i'm having a damn good measure of success with its opposite, identifying and pre-empting some of my stupidest trains of thought before they lead to stupid actions and potentially bad consequences. now i gotta aim for a 100% success rate at mind-stopping .
 
Surviving severe allergic reaction to spider bite on the face today makes me extra happy. Seriously, I thought I was gonna die.

Thank you!

I'm taking it easy for the next week or so because I have to go back to Stockholm for 4 days next week, so I'm just easing into gym work again. I'm also still pretty limited with the upper body stuff I can do, but it's nice just being able to pick up some heavyish stuff and my shoulder is letting me front squat now!
 
i have just realized i'm an idiot!

when i joined the gym, i thought "ok, i'll lift light. 10 kilo plates should do it". but i had forgotten the weight of the oly bar and thought it was half of what it was.

and now, three gym sessions later, i realize that i had only been counting ONE of the 10kg weight plates. so i had started out again thinking i was lifting 20, then thinking i was lifting 30, when in fact i was lifting 40 all along. which explains why i got so frigging sore, but makes me go because it shows that my strength didn't go to waste as much as i thought
 
I've done the same thing myself when using ankle weights for reverse leg lifts -I though they were 1lb when they actually were 2.5 and 5lbs!

And Quality Street Green Triangles make me go :-))
 
I am violently shaking and lightheaded from exertion, but happy. Had a nice evening lifting and listening to some metal. Pumping iron solves everything.
 
I have just become a home owner... Finally, my very own castle...
