While at the mall earlier, a young lady (comely young lass of virtue true, I suspect) was handing out flyers/invitations to a church, and she approached me with one. I thought that was quite brave of her, considering my… appearance.

Comments: Jesus Christ, missing the SL pissed me the fuck off (and the standard deadlift wasn’t easy). I only wish I could’ve translated that angst to strength. Maybe I was still dehydrated from the water pills? Maybe I didn’t sleep/eat enough today? I don’t fucking know.

Rack pulls next 3 weeks, maybe those’ll help.

Fucker.

Comments: Down to 303 lbs. (137 kg), again, possibly thanks to being dehydrated/hungover, but I’ll take it! In addition, I’m going to start taking some water pills (sodium and/or potassium manipulation has yielded next to no results) tomorrow and see if that can’t take care of some of this, because it’s getting ridiculous and kind of embarassing.

EDIT: OH YEAH, we fucking raced through this workout, getting done in 35 minutes. Maybe that’s why I feel like ass.

A rare, drunk, proclamation of affection for my e-friends here: I would hug/make the sex with/share a beer with all of you, sober or not. You guys rule, and don’t let anyone tell you differently. *nod*
