Distractions

[Ox 51]

I know several guys on here are going through divorces right now. I'm not there yet, but my marriage is on the rocks. It is killing my current cycle. I'm not eating enough and I'm not hitting the gym enough. And I know I've only got a few weeks before the dreaded New Year's Resolutions pack the gym.

I hear you buddy . I talked about losing the "love of my life" two weeks ago . Not to sound too dramatic but I have never loved like this . As a result I have never felt such pain and now even anger .. It really hurts when your love is not reciprocated . I have "acted out" in the last few days and I'm NOT so proud about my behavior . I thought I was way cooler & better than that .. I have barely eaten and I've dropped some weight .. I'm such a hard gainer it will take forever to put that back on .
So ...I have decided to "step back" and try to remember what this time of the year means . Health , family and friends are what's it's all about . I should appreciate what I have and not what I lost . New year around the corner with endless possibilities . I'm collecting 'the fixings " for my cycle starting in Jan. I'll run it past you guys then .. I think maybe my focus should be physical right now and really use the gym to keep my sanity .

I'm glad you are looking for positives, buckns. There is nothing you can do to speed that recovery, just have to stay strong while your heart heals. I have trouble eating when I'm under this type of stress too. I've got to fight to get in what food I can and it's mostly junk.

This could just be because I'm a dick, but anytime I've gotten into a fight with an ex or even my girl now, it motivates me to go to the gym because my head gets headed for the door and I know that if it is over, I need to keep my body together to impress the next girl

Not to mention that I use the gym as a stress reliever, I can go in there in a piss poor mood ready to rip someone's head off, but when I leave, I feel relaxed and stress free
