"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

This is what happened, I pretty much got the common cold for about a week and a half, eating nothing but soup and drinking water, and just as I get better from it, i've been told i've shrunk. During that period I didn't really lift any weights at all, so I'm wondering if this is normal. I'm so angry at myself right now.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

dont be angry. i've had bronchitis for 2 weeks. and last week i didnt hit the gym cause i was taking cough medicine. if anything i lost probably 3lbs.

it would be natural to lose a pound or 2 cause it's common for someone sick.
Just maintain your food intake and get back into it as soon as you recover, im returning to the gym monday from a 3 week break.

Same happened to me, but you should gain it back very quickly when you return to the gym and get some oxygen pumping back into your muscles.

I was sick for a weekend. I think I went through exercise withdrawal, because I was so damn frustrated that I couldn't work out (well, I *could* have forced myself, but I'm not that dumb :) )
