Upper bodz!

Today was quite uneventful. I did an upper body day and that's about it. Oh yeah, my roommate and i got a new vegan protein powder and it's the grossest protein powder i've ever had, so i have to buy a new one. And i found a new personal trainer, and i am thinking about quitting physical therapy. More ranting after the "read more" as always.

Upper body day:

• short stretch/warm-up
• shoulder shrugs on pull up bar 3x6
• bent over rows 3x10 (6kg)
• bar curls 3x12 (6kg)
• arnold press 3x8 (4kg)
• sitting twists 3x12
• side bends 3x12 (7.5kg)

I got up in time today, got ready, walked the dog, cleaned the house a little, and then i had an appointment. After the appointment i worked out. My upper body day. I went with the basic one that i felt was nice at the beginning of this month cause i didn't have a proper upper body day for a while so i didn't want to go too hard. Just as i was done my roommate came home so i planned that perfectly.

I btw got in contact with a new personal trainer and we'll have an appointment on the 13th of September.  I also will go to a psychologist place on Thursday to plan an intake, because i need a psychologist for my ADHD and anxiety. Tomorrow i have physical therapy again and i think i want to quit because i don't think i can handle having weekly appointments with my personal trainer and whichever psychologist i will get. My physical therapist is literally just there as a buffer for me to do the things i need to do, and she will probably be replaced by my new personal trainer + psychologist. So it will be a waste of time. I also feel that she isn't as helpful anymore. I thought she was going to teach me to be more present in my body and maybe to do more breathing exercises. We only did that once or twice in the beginning and that was it. So overall i don't think she can help me along anymore. The only thing she taught me that was helpful was the whole "little steps" thing; a thought process she seemed to have abandoned herself along the way. As i said in a previous post (if i recall correctly) the last few appointments she has been more spiritual~ and i really don't like that. I don't care about energies and auras, i just want my anxiety out of my body, thank you.

Oh yeah, when it comes to the protein powder... my roommate and i decided to buy a huge bag of protein. It was expensive, but we were like "well... we both inhale protein powder daily so we might as well". But the protein SUCKS. It literally tastes like flour. I tried three different vegan milks with them and none of them stuck. My previous protein powder was kind of sweet, but not too much. It had a nice after taste which made it easy to just blend it with some vanilla or chocolate soy milk, but with this one i feel like i need to blend it with banana or whatever and i am not in the mood for that. I need to be able to blend the protein as plainly as possible for days where i do not have bananas. But what sucks is that protein powder got so expensive? What for??? The protein i had before costed like 20 bucks and now it is like 50 or something. Absolutely ridiculous. I almost want to start a fitness youtube chanel or tiktok or something just so i can earn my protein powder money back LOL. I btw also found out that in a cheap store in my town they sell some nice protein bars that are only 1$ a piece. And they taste really nice too!!! They are a good alternative for when i crave chocolate so i need to go back there and buy some for whenever i have cravings. I usually do not like protein bars too much cause they seem unhealthy to me. But if i am craving chocolate i would rather eat one of those than a normal chocolate bar.

Oh and on Saturday i might go to a party of my roommate's colleague. To be continued i guess...
