August update (Mistitled August as July, sorry): https://www.reddit.com/r/RPChristians/comments/9cpd35/phils_july_update/

Stats

  • Weight: 225 -> 240
  • DL: 350 -> 360
  • Squat: 250 -> 260
  • OHP: 165 -> 165
  • Bench: 195 -> 220

The Ugly

  • My weight went up significantly. I want to say it is muscle, but it is definitely some unhealthy eating due to emotions and stress, on top of working out more.
  • I asked out a girl from church. She didn’t say no, but she didn’t say yes either, which is a no in my book. I saw something, but it wasn’t to the point where “I couldn’t keep from banging her”. This will probably blow up in my face, as a lot of my orbiters are in the same group. Honestly, a lot of me doing it came from wanting to prove to myself that I was over my oneitis, or at least making progress, which honestly I’m beating myself up for.
  • I thought I had a mission, but it’s clearly driven by trying to impress people/girls. So it’s back to the drawing board, and I feel more lost than ever.

The Handsome

  • I was able to stick to my financial plan this month, and as it happened it was the month that I got hit really hard, and had a lot of emergency expenses. It really sucked, but I saw the value of storing a harvest. God is good.

Thanks for everything all of you do around here. Working on being less of a lurker. Am writing up a lessons learned about my oneitis story, hoping to have it at a decent level of readability.

God bless!
