I Swear I'll Never Do It Again ...

I keep my nails cut short and I still wear grooves in the keyboard. I'll admit to not being the fastest typist out there. I try to work smart (macros are my friend).

She's damn good...She's actually the reason that I can type so fast.

When I was a kid we would have races. I had a program (can't remember the name) that would time your WPM.

I never even came close to beating her, but I damn sure tried. I can type 80wpm.

(I love this, I've hijacked my own thread).

I actually can type faster taking dictation than I can doing copy typing. I have no idea how fast I can type. I gauge my speed by the doctor, every doctor takes a different length of time depending on how much of a novel he dictates and how many phrases he reuses. Some of my doctors are cake and I only type about 1/3 to 1/2 of what they actually say, the rest is macro central. Some of them have to say everything differently every single time and I hate those bastards. I typed this broad last night, her follow-up reports averaged 3 pages single spaced. She had six total patients, three were follow-ups, 19 single spaced pages and I had to type every word. Took me over 1.5 hours. I don't make any money on that shit and it's unnecessary wear and tear on my tendons.

I HATE DOMS... LOL I enjoy the tightness that comes from consistently training but DOMS is the suck. When my skin care line comes out we will offer a product that virtually eliminates DOMS - no shit.

Would you believe me if I told you I am very nearly incapable of using my legs? Descending the stairs is a real treat, in particular, the first step is, as they say, a lulu

The bitch of it is that I managed the deads no problem, which is why I'm trashed today. I've managed to stay away from working out just long enough that I have lost very little, if any, strength.

I'm a masochist, I swear it ...

I can see taking at most a week off after a year's worth of training but not two months. Sometimes it's a good idea to take a week off but I wouldn't take any longer than a week off!! I don't take much time off personally!! But after a year's worth of solid training I do feel like I do need to take almost a week off from time to time to come back more fresh again. But not two months. I've been working out for a solid year. I got injured once and had to lay off a whole month. But I learned my lesson. I mean if you aren't injured there is no excuse for taking two months off!! Bottom line!!

Excuse me, but are you under some odd impression that I created this thread to so people could criticize me? I'm trying to figure out why I sabotage myself so severely and was looking for some ideas.

As for not taking any time off in a year, that's not an option in my life. I have chronic health conditions that prohibit working out sometimes. Additionally, I'm self employed and I physically can't workout after a certain time of day. Plus I go on camping vacations several times a year. So while I applaud your dedication and enthusiasm, that's not something that works for everyone.

It is possible that you sabotage yourself because you've developed a fear of success?
(Success related to fitness and reaching a body goal, not success related to work)

You have chronic health issues to deal with, you can't take stims and your schedule fluctuates.

Maybe your subconscious has decided that with those obstacles continuing to work out you will make the problems worse so it sends the message for you to stop working out in order to protect you.

I'm sure that probably sounds weird but in some cases of overweight people that I've known they start loosing weight and then start thinking about how their life will change. They start asking all the questions like: how will my friends treat me? will I keep the weight off? will I be able to do....?, will so and so still love me? they get a little scared because they suddenly realize that the life they currently have will change in big ways.

Then again, maybe you've reached a point in your life where the fitness lifestyle just isn't as important as it used to be and you're ready to move onto something else.

just my .02



I have some health issues and I can't take stims either. I can't even have caffeine. I'm not supposed to lift heavy and no HIIT so I lift lighter and do SS cardio. I listen to my body and stay consistent with my training even when my brains tells me no. It will take a lot longer for me to reach my body goals but I have to deal with what I have. BG says that sometimes you just have to work the body and wait for the brain to catch up.



In any case I hope things get better for you.
