Well, guess my libido is not so much reduced after all. Just strangely variable. Body chemistry?
What ever.
One thing I have decided to do is start sewing. Prices of men's shirts in general have gone up a lot in a short time. It's annoying. Been climbing for a while but then suddenly shot upward. Plus my favorite type is much harder to find, with Henley collars. So those are even more expensive. I tend to think collars look stupid and serve no purpose. So fine, fuck you. Want me to pay more money for something that takes less sewing and less cloth? Not happening.
Two approaches here. One is that I ordered a pattern. I can design and sew my own shirts. Probably come out with something better than what is available without spending a fortune on it.
Second, I can buy some inexpensive T-shirts and modify them by sewing buttons onto them.
No need to stop there. Time to drag out the air brush and start playing around with painting my own designs on shirts. Been meaning to do that for a while. Now is the time for it.
Never know. Maybe it can result in a side business for me to make extra money.
I need to start doing something with my spare time. Something productive. Hopefully something that either makes money or at least saves me money.
Daughter did not want to go skating yesterday. Then did not want to go to the gym today. All while I have been in manic cycle. I understand, she's coming to the end of the school year. Probably mentally worn out.
That left me feeling restless. Besides, I am getting more motivated to get in even better shape, since I can see the results. Next stage I am heading into is going to be building my arms a lot more and continue working on my abdomen. And my legs. That one is painful. Most weight lifters say that, so I'm not alone. (Makes sense. Largest muscles in the body, they lift the most weight.) I've gotten through the primary health part and feel good about it. Now I want to work on appearance more. Nothing wrong with it. Just for my own self image.
Even when not going to the gym, I have been doing some exercise at home. Especially stretching exercises. Trying to regain more flexibility. My current flexibility isn't bad for 56 years old. I just know it can be a lot better. Rather ashamed of how much less flexible I am now compared to how I used to be. May be a big problem why I have difficulty with aerobics, aside from burning too many calories. No matter what, adding flexibility is good. Already regained a lot but want to try and get back where I was in my late 20's, if possible. Or as close as I can get. Been doing additional crunches, leg raises and hip raises at home. Some deltoid exercises. Forearms. Nothing major.
I think once I do start working, I want to invest some money into some weight lifter's mass gaining supplements. It would be a good thing for me to buy, any way. Amino acids and over 1000 cals per serving. Still less expensive than the nutrition drinks.
What ever.
