Tired of Cooking for a Complainer
I’m literally losing it. I cook every single night. I plan the meals, go get the groceries, cook, clean, everything. And this man still has the audacity to complain. “It’s bland.” “Did you forget something?” “Didn’t we just have this?” LIKE OKAY THEN YOU COOK??? I’m not your chef. I’m not your mom.

The Grind is Real
The main lift was bench press! Today was all about a different kind of challenge. Started with 75 lbs for a set of 10 and then hit 8 reps for the remaining five sets, progressively increasing the weight to 85, 90, 105, 115, and finally finishing strong with 120 lbs. Nothing worth having comes easy.
