Personal struggles today
I went to do legs today and my heart wasn’t in it. So, I dragged myself there and did it anyway. I totally skipped the leg press, smith machine, etc. Instead I focused on the more painful exercises. Squats with a 45 lb plate in each hand and 2 plates under my feet, the same with deadlifts. 110 lb leg extensions and 70 lb curls. I did my glutes on cables and my horizontal leg press with feet ducked out to the sides. I max repped each set until I got dizzy and cramped up.
Today I realized that no accomplishments mean anything if you have no one to share them with. If you meet a new goal and get excited about it and have no one to call and tell, it just doesn’t feel the same. Everyone needs that, thats why we come here. I no longer have someone to call and it really sucks.

Please do not feel sorry for me. We all have lonely days. I just have to get my personal life together.

I know it is hard to make good friends in your hometown. But take consolation in the fact that your online friends get as excited for you as you do for yourself!!

Fern,
Take a few minutes and go back and read some of your blogs; and then take the time to read your PMs and answer when people care about you and your progress.

Hey Fern. Your accomplishments do not lose any of their meaning just because you believe you have no one to share with. And you do have people to share with, everyone here. Always remember, your toughest opponent will always be yourself. And a ruthless opponent you must be.
Stay Strong

You are an awesome role model. We all have the days we don’t feel like working out or just feel lonely. It shows great strength to do it anyways. I know, as many people have said, we enjoy hearing your accomplishments. Tomorrow will be better. God bless

It’s always nice to have someone else who gets excited about the things that you enjoy and that excite you but thats not always the case. I workout for me. My accomplishments excite me. Hell I havent even been out on a date since my divorce in 05!

I hear you. Online isn’t quite the same as having someone in person to share with. Still, everyone here gets excited for you!
