Long time no see…
It’s been over a year now of false starts, but, I find myself finally close to where I left off.
Lifting, sadly, is still mostly out of reach for me. My wrist remains pretty effed, but I’m trying to go at it very, very gradually, in the hopes that strengthening the muscles around it will allow me to support more weight.
It’s been a very, very rough month for me. My fiance declared he was having a "breakdown", and things deteriorated from there. He got very nasty. He took off, with a bunch of my things no less. Turns out "breakdown" is ******* for "girlfriends". Good riddence. My father, so very relieved that I’ve been dealing with this by throwing myself wholeheartedly into fitness has put up the funds for a personal traininer, which I think will make all the difference in getting as much muscle back as the wrist will allow.
In the mean time, running has become my lifting-replacement. I’ve fallen in love with it, thank goodness. I blog about that over on Runner’s World, under "josiethefiend". It’s been keeping me sane, and it’s gotten me lean again. I’m one pound and two bodyfat percentage points away from where I was the day I was hit.
Alright. I’m ready for my "up yours, ex-fiance" six pack.

Sounds like you’ve taken a few kicks - but it looks like you’ve got the attitude to keep your chin up! Hitting your fitness goals is one of the best ways to stay in good spirits! hang in there - we have bad times so we can tell them apart from the good!
