As I sit here with some free time before my boss shows up to open up shop. I thought I’d throw an update.
I’ve been tracking my calories, and I’m at 2800 a day, while maintaining my weight at around 174lb. My body weight fluctuates between 170lb and 174lb from mostly water weight. I have an idea of workouts I can incorporate along side my work life. Seems like my back gets the most workout, followed by arms, then legs. Everything else hasn’t felt fatigue in a while. I need to get back on some workout schedule as I am beginning to feel like my muscles aren’t getting any real work done.
I feel it would be a good time to look at bulking for a while, get back to 185lb, then do another lean diet as I’d like to increase my muscle mass to sustain the higher calories.
On a side note, I have learned I’m dyslexic. My boss brought it up, and from both taking a number of tests, looking back at old notes from both work and school, there is no doubt in my mind I am. Explains a lot as to why I struggled with English class, and reading compression. Some teachers would get pissed at me thinking I was playing some cruil joke on them with my chicken scratch hand writing, them not being able to read it but for some reason I could read it infront of them, despite my stutter.
What revealed it, is when I would make dumb mistakes estimating orders, writing down parts by part number, and I’d constantly switch up things like 5’s and 2’s or 3’s and 8’s, or heck sometimes I would write the part number down from the catalog, with absolute confidence I am copying the right number, just to come back later in the day and find I wrote the number above or below the line of the part number I needed.
On my writing notes. So often I’d skip writing letters, or repeat letters, or use the wrong letters like a/o g/q and so on. I never realized it cause when I would read my notes, I would just read and interpret, but when I really looked at the letters, instead of trying to read, I started seeing all the mistakes I was making through my entire life. And I’ve also been writing the Ohm symbol upside down this entire time… For like 10 years.
But hey, I’d say I’m pretty good at drawing, just another checkbox on the dyslexia list.
