I hope I'm able to get it all in order. A lot of times I just feel like I'm spinning my wheels and not really progressing.

Signed up at new gym. Really nice but seems like the sauna is always going to be broken, so may have to switch to new gym next month.

Second day back at the gym, started new program. A lot more people tonight so social anxiety was way up. Had a few stares and one guy staring me down and laughed, while pointing me out to girl at front counter. Kind of discouraging, especially seeing as social anxiety/awkwardness seems so hard for me to solve. Feel like my brain is broken, just need to figure out how I can rewire it. Back at it tomorrow.

One Day these things won't even register for you.
You're doing a great job, really.

Man, fuck that guy, he's a douche, ignore him.

(It was probably in your head bro, don't worry about it, keep on with your routine.)

Back - 15

Biking - 20 Mins - 4 Miles

Treadmill - 20 Mins - 3i - 3.5s

Calories - 2,050

New routine calls for way lower number of sets, higher weight and more cardio as the weeks progress. Seeing I'm used to doing 40-60 sets a workout, this seems way easier than It would have been.

Overate a good bit today, so added in extra cardio and will shave a few hundred calories over next few days.

New routine is going well. Physique is getting a bit better, v taper looks fucking legit in mirror when doing dumbbell flys. Just hoping this helps with my self image issues enough to where I'm not constantly analyzing shit like my skin/pores/complexion, hair, etc. all the time. Take a lot of pics at work/home trying to reassure myself of my appearance, sounds like BDD lol.

Can your friends who make big cash from amazon help you out? Perhaps if you emulate closely what they do, it won't be as risky and foolhardy as you think. Though I do understand greatly where you are coming from.

Their business has largely dried up due to Covid. It'll probably come back when things die down, but who knows. I'm probably going to go down the back to school route, even though I'm almost 30 lol. But I can get an AS degree in 1.5 years, which is about 10k-20k pay raise from where I'm at now. Should also help with my social interactions.

What is the AS?

[Mav]

Associate in Science degree... and get a few certs in the timespan it takes to complete that degree

8/16 - Off Day

Treadmill - 90 Mins - 6.2 Miles - 3i

Calories - 2,250

Had a few too many protein bars today, so I punished myself on the treadmill. First 60 mins was HIIT and hit 4.2 Miles. Then walked an additional 30 mins at 3i - 3.7s.

Going on date tomorrow but have a feeling she may not look like her pics, we'll see.

Keep having the never ending feeling that no matter what I do, I won't be good enough looks wise... between hair, face, skin, 5'7. Get so envious of most of the guys at the gym, blessed with good genetics, on top of them being in good shape. Just seems like they're playing on easy mode in comparison lol. This bothers me every single day and just wish I could make it go away lol. Posted pics below of after workout and treadmill.
