workouts

I was getting a really good rhythm back again there for a while, then the rain and cold started and the swimming dropped off. I battled on with the running and was making progress, although the weight still isn’t shifting from around 75kg. It came down to 74 then i got a cold with horrible headaches and everything went down the crapper. On Monday i was feeling like a slug, even though it had only been about 4 days. My weight had already gone back up around the 75 76 mark. I got out for a nice run, but then yesterday couldn’t do it and its still been wet. today Im feeling a bit better and maybe I can do an afternoon run and start yet again on this roller coaster of workouts.

I don’t really have any friends here. Everyone in northern qld is such a redneck and I as usual since I can't stand group sports I just don't fit in. I had one friend. I met him and his wife when I first came to Australia and Cairns back in 2008. When I moved here more permanently I tried to keep up with them, but A was having like a mental breakdown and deeply depressed. When I'd call I'd only get his voice mail and he would never return a call. Last I heard from his wife was they had gone back to the US. Then last year or maybe it was early this year I bumped into them at a cafe. They had just come back to cairns and were going to stay awhile. A was like a different person. I never have asked if he is taking anything, but he seemed very happy. They had been buying and selling houses and so we had lots to talk about and that lead to A and I meeting once a week for coffee. We would chat about everything. we both have similar political views and of course the houses are always good to talk about. He has a green card for the US and needed to go back to keep it current. So a couple of weeks ago he went back. So now Im back to not having any friends.

last week at the dog training session i was leading Bruce around and doing all the commands. I signalled R to come over and have a go and i went over to the side of the group. Bruce started acting up and every time R would stop and reach down and yank on his collar. I finally went over and told her she didn’t need to do that and that she just had to pull on the halter lead and keep walking. She immediately flew off the handle and told me I should just do it then. i said no, I was just trying to show her what to do. She went straight back to doing the same thing. I was so pissed i left. It's horrible. i can't say anything to her without her going crazy and then she wonders why we never talk and she wonders why she never learns anything. Actually I don't think she wonders why she never learns anything she just gives up and makes some excuse why.
