Leg Day
Today has been a hard day. I entered the gym wiped out. My boyfriend and I are breaking up. We are trying to ease out, to make it easier, but it still hurts. We have been together for 2 years, and its hard to watch it all go. So needless to say, my workout suffered a bit. I tried to push it out, but I had no interest in sitting on a treadmill or an elliptical today. I do a lot of reflecting during that time, and I couldn’t really handle it today. I am a little scared of being alone, and seeing him with someone else, but I know its for the best. There is someone out there better for both of us. I thought we were it.
So, despite all that, I did manage to PR my squats. I did 150, not that impressive I know, but its an improvement so thats all that matters. I really put a hurting on my quads today. Squats, hack squats, extensions, and abductions. I also went on the stair climber and did my calves for 5 minutes after traditional weighted calf raises. At least I got some work done.

Way to take out the stress on the legs! Sorry to here that about the two of you. Hope you don’t mind me giving my opinion and I hope I’m not out of line but here it goes. Easing out of a relationship is the hardway to go. Especially after being together for two years. A clean quick cut always seems hard right at first but the long drawn out lets try and ease away from each other but still kind of hang out just sucks in the long run. Its very draining emotionally and physically. Usually the guy likes that kind of break up because he still feels in control of things. Unless there are kids involved a quick breakup is the best in my opinion. But then again I’m just a guy. Just tell me to mind my own business and shutup!!

Aww Cnstnce, Im sorry to hear that, I think that at some point we all go though a bad break up, as a young man it happen to me early, But your rite in that there is someone out there that IS ment for you, you should use that as a driving force to help you reach your goals (like having a bomb a$$ body, which you already do) and get that somebody, But as i remember it at the time, I didnt want to hear that I would find someone els, It just takes time.
Good luck with your goals and life.

First off…..HOORAY PINK!!!! And thank you for the smile today! Purely selfish, I know, sorry……
Now, I know it feels right to be saddened by your breaking up, but here’s some tough love that I’m sure will send many a folk into an uproar because of my callousnes: If it’s over, it was meant to be! Don’t spin your wheels thinking and dwelling on what was….look forward to what can be! Everything happens for a reason….We are not defined by our victory’s, but our losses……it’s our choice (YES, our choice) as to how we define them……..Here’s to a better day, today!!!!

Sorry to hear you are having personal trouble. At least you are able to vent on here and get some good opinions. I totally agree w/ jason and bodyauditor. I was dating a guy for 1 1/2 years and we broke up about 8 months ago and it was a slow break up.. and it killed me! everyday I would think "what am I doing.. if I am not dating him, he doesn’t deserve to know about my life and still talk to me like we are dating." So it took a good 4 to 5 months for me to realize I couldn’t do this anymore and got my feelings completely out of it and I let him know that. I still talk to him every once in a while now but nothing like before and I make sure I don’t care what he says. LOL… Hope that makes sense! I know what u r going through if you wanna talk
feel better and workout harder!

Good luck with everything, I guess at least it wasnt longer than 2 years. Just picture yourself with that perfect guy that does everything that you have always wanted this guy to do for you. It will happen you will see. Time heals everything. Keep up the strength…

If your mind isnt into it, your body wont be either. Youve got to leave distractions outside the door of the gym. Its hard, Ive got plenty of things on my plate too. Breaking up is hard, but its a step in a new direction. At some point working out was a new direction too, and by your pics, thats worked out great. Dont lose focus. Tough situations make us grow stronger.
