I'm SUPER-motivated...for a bad reason...

So Saturday I made my girlfriend (of several years - we've actually been together for almost 8 years) an Easter basket - all her favorite expensive dark chocolates. I went over to her condo to hide it so she could find it Easter morning and while looking for a place to hide it...found a few open packs of condoms that had nothing to do with me. She admitted she's been cheating on me for the last year...

Fuck. 8 years down the drain.

Of course, I went to the gym and hit new personal bests in all my chest/arms and did 60 minutes of cardio afterwards...

Guess it's time to spruce myself up and put myself back on the market. Good news is I've lost 18 pounds so far this year (252->234) and have gained a ton of strength (my squat last year was a measly 90# and now I'm doing 260#; also gained a lot in bench and other areas). Not bad for a 5'7" 38-year-old.

So to cut down fast/safe, I'm thinking of switching to a CKD diet. I'm kind of a low-carb eater, just because I try to get 200g of protein a day, and have been losing pretty good...doing the math, about 1.5 lbs a week. Fuck, I'm ready to go do 2 hours of cardio a day every day...

Thank God for that workout endorphin drenching.

Well its good that you didn't hit her (I know most guys say they wouldn't hit a girl, but I know a few that would snap if they heard their girlfriend cheated on them and a few more that would explode if it was followed by "1 year").

If your willing to do the cardio and low carb thing CKD is easy to get through.

Shit man.. it pisses me off whenever I hear about these kind of things, at least you're looking at the bright side and using that to get motivated. I have some anger issues, so I don't know what I would've done. Much respect to you my friend, keep it up.

sorry to hear about that man. keep your head up and keep your lifts coming. It's always good to find something good in a bad situation. Definitely some respect for the way you're going about this.
