Update - well, there's not much of a massive update!
Some annoying emails from L re house sale. Our house is a "newbuild" so there are some extra forms that we need to send over. Got them from the old Ls from when we bought the house, so I'm assuming it's ok for me to just forward them on to the L (?). Didn't realise selling a house was this involved! Oh well, it's all experience!
DS - it's not like that here in UK. I can ask the local authority for the building regs certificate, which is the only thing missing it seems.
Gym wise I'm now up to: 55kg on the abs/crunch at 2x15 70kg on leg press at 3x12 20kg on shoulder press at 3x12 42.5kg on chest press at 3x12 40kg on lats machine at 3x12 42.5kg on low row at 3x12 Plus small increases every so often on the various cable machines (arms)
Definitely seeing improvements on arms and stomach. I have no reference, as bear in mind before September I did very minimal exercise. I did the odd bits of kettle bells at home, but nothing regular and wasn't fully committed to it. I've been going to the gym every day for the past fortnight - it's very close to my parents' house so I have no excuse really! I'm watching what I eat too and monitoring protein intake as well to help. Lots more healthy snacks in my lunchbox at work now! My diet was fairly healthy already, but just improving and adding even more good stuff wherever I can.
Very minimal contact from W. Haven't heard from her since she texted me on 3rd to ask me to pass on her thanks to my parents/my sister for their presents to her. No update on the D proceedings either. I wonder how she's getting with her new house hunting - see seems to not be in a good position financially (I would say' Told you so' but as you see from a few posts above, I didn't!). I'm not pushing anything. I'm not reaching out.
I still feel sad occasionally as I find myself frustrated at the fact that she ran away from the M and didn't even want to put effort in to try. It saddens me as there were so many things I was looking forward to doing with her. It seems like such a waste. I'm annoyed that she felt the need to tell so many people, rather than confide in just one person and then me and then we resolved to try before deciding on whether D is an option.
Does it matter that I've not made any effort to contact W's parents/friends? I'm going to keep it that way - is that right?
