Last Saturday, I managed a Yoke pick @ 750#, which is a PR for me (need to get a video next time), but I tried using a lifting belt for core support, and now i don't know if the belt, or the weight itself was the problem. My upper back muscles (shoulder area) still ache. I suppose it also could be the fact that I'm still dealing with a nerve issue along my right shoulder blade that the chiropractor hasn't been able to correct yet. (I say "hasn't been able to", but I mean, "hasn't actually adjusted the right spot yet". However, he's the expert, so I'm trying to be patient. He'll get there eventually.) Anyway, I changed my workout for the next month or two, and I'm hoping it will help me start making some gains again, or at least help with the recomp. I haven't been able to run as much as I'd planned, but I'm keeping my calories down to around 2600-2800, and between 160-200g of protein, which should enable me to maintain any muscle I put on, and possibly even build a little more. At least, that's what I hope. I guess I'll find out in a month or two.
Still haven't sent a facespace message to Bo's friend. Not sure if I will yet. Might just wait for the next time we run into each other, and then just give her my number myself. That way, if she doesn't contact me, I'll know it's because she doesn't want to, not that she never got my message.
Still haven't heard from CC either, and I don't really expect to again. I'm open to it, but I don't really care anymore. I've been trying to figure out why she might not be writing back to me, and I could only come up with one possible reason that involves me - we both belonged to an online discussion board a while back (in fact, that's how we met - I'm still an admin there). Anyway, someone made a post about almost-psychic connections in relationships, and whether other people believe it can happen. I made a post about my connection with her (didn't use any names or references to anyone) and how I still regretted "messing that one up", as I put it. The only thing I can think of is that she was reading the board as a guest (without logging in, I mean), read my post, and assumed it meant I was trying to get back with her or something, then decided it was better to stop talking to me. Silly, if that's the case, and a bit childish for not just saying so, but regardless of whether it's true or not, I'm using that assumption to mitigate my disappointment at being ignored yet again. Regardless of whatever connection we had before, I don't need a friend like that. Of course, I'll still be friendly/open if she writes back eventually, but I'm not going to bother dwelling on it anymore. I have enough issues with unrequited crushes in town here, I don't need another that's several states away...
There's a chance that, even with all the snow we've had, the roads might clear up by the last week of this month, and I'll be able to get the cycle out for another ride. That's the good news - the bad news is that I still have about two feet of snow in my back driveway, and shoveling it out is going to take a lot of work. There's no way I can get the bike out with the drive the way it is, so it looks like I'm going to have to give in and either break out the shovel, or give the neighbor across the street $10-20 to let me borrow his snow blower. Not sure it's worth $20, but not sure my back is up for clearing that much snow by hand either.
