Don't Wait! Start Extra Today. 4th Month Day 3

Go by how you look and feel.

Exactly. I don't weigh myself very often, I don't even know what I weigh. I care a lot more about how my body looks than what the scale says.

Like your scale says (I think), it's only a number. I only weighed myself to see where I ranked for power lifting by age and body weight. That wasn't even a great idea, it just made me push myself too hard. Go by how you look and feel.

I feel skinny at 135.
I like feeling skinny.

When I was doing a lot of training, I used to cut open dates, remove the pits, replace them with coconut oil, some cinnamon, and put a walnut or pecan on top. Nice wholesome snack.

The pecan is supposed to go inside where the seed was. Then you roll it in sugar. Deadly!

I took my belt in another inch and my pants still want to fall down.

Clorox bath water is ready. Time to go exercise my trigger finger. Shovel work only awaits the filling of the hole.

What is it that you're constantly shooting? Shouldn't it be dead by now?

Tacked on a quick 1/2 mile run in the back yard this AM for my extra. I am not a runner but I needed the cardio boost

Did some core between Zoom meetings….also stretching for 10:00 after my 11am meeting. More extra later!!!

Elbows?

Halfway to Saturday

It's working.

Well now I have to work out. You're thirty pounds lighter than me. I did actually get some extra in last night after the elbow work out. The neighbors cows got through the fence so I was wrangling them half the night.

I feel skinny at 135.
I like feeling skinny.

Me too. That's my goal weight again.

Feminism is pervasive in our culture, and the toxic aftermath is that all men are perceived as misogynists just because they are male.

Like with anything, when it is taken to an extreme it's obnoxious. That includes feminism, religion, "toxic" masculinity, veganism, dieting, politics, etc. Even typing with all caps is obnoxious. Some bad fruit on a tree doesn't mean you should cut it down. You discard them and use the good fruit.

Yes! I hate how our culture wants to make men the bad guys or wants to make them look weak. Why! I hate it so much, it's just messed up.

I...what? I'm having trouble with this idea that our culture wants to make men the bad guys. What culture? And remembering a fun rule from couples therapy, don't use absolutes, such as always, never, or all. No culture tries to make all men look like the bad guys. Except for maybe the mythical Amazons of Greek imagination. Secondly, wants to make them look weak. How exactly? I guess I just need it spelled out.

I like feeling skinny.

If you added 5 lbs of muscle, you'd feel even better at 140.
