Time has absolutely flown by and I just finished week #4 of my Tank Top Arms rotation and I'm loving it and will continue to do this for the time being. I was planning to add in an extra lower body day and do the Bonus Butt Workout from the Rock Bottoms rotation, but things got a little wacky this week. We received notices from the electric company that they were going to be replacing a pole in the area and our power was going to be off most of the day Tuesday. It never happened. We got another letter Wednesday afternoon for a Thursday outage that never happened either. Needless to say, I was a bit more rushed in the morning and did some shorter substitute workouts. I finished the week with ICE Boot Camp Circuit yesterday and Cardio Slam today. Overall, I think my arms are showing a little more definition and I'm planning to alternate weeks with doing an extra lower body day and the BBW. I'm leaning towards pulling from the LITE Series, doing Lean Legs & Abs and Great Glutes from the 2013 series, incorporating the upper body segment from Body Max 2, STS Meso 3 for my shoulders, bi's and tri's and for total body days go back and do some older high step workouts.
On another subject, its now been a little over a month since I dealt with the Kevin situation and the job at the house around the corner for me now appears to be finished. I did see him a little in passing over the past few weeks and we were friendly but I didn't feel that anxiety over carrying on a secret texting relationship with a married man. I did a lot of thinking while doing Cardio Slam this morning and I realized that for whatever reason, although I had no romantic attraction to him, I enjoyed the attention he gave me. I think I've dealt with some low self esteem/low self confidence issues ever since 2017 when I was told I was already in menopausal changes. In fact, it was a few months after I found out about the menopause thing that my neighbor Paul started texting me. I'd known him for 7 years as neighbors, but was closer friends with his wife. Then suddenly, I was getting this attention and I became attracted to the person behind the text messages. I tried several times to break off the relationship before it became sexual, but I wasn't strong enough to do that and I really didn't have anyone I could confide in for advice.
The situation with Kevin was different in that I only saw him for a few minutes in the morning while he was at a job in my neighborhood. But when that first text came in from him in January, I became uncomfortable because I knew where that could lead because I'd already been down that road before. I'm forever grateful for all the wonderful advice and support that I received from you all that weekend that I posted about the situation I was dealing with. Unlike 2017, this time I was able to be firm about the reasons why us texting wasn't a good idea. I didn't just disappear into thin air like I originally wanted to do when faced with the whole thing. I took care of things before they went too far. Now that the job is finished I'll probably never see him again, but I'm so glad I'm not living a secret life from my husband.
