SHES LEAVING TOMORROW WAAAAA 😭😭

Anyway, allow me to be mushy for a bit and just say that although I couldn’t catch all her streams, I did find Mika through clips of her interacting with Niji EN members,, she was definitely a very funny, goofy, and chaotic girlie who I loved watching a lot! Her original song is an absolute banger and I hope she continues to pursue singing at some point even after Niji..

I’m sorry, originally I was gonna draw her in her final outfit but I didn’t have the motivation so I drew a small doodle of her as thanks and a goodbye. Like I’ve said before, whatever she does, wherever she goes, I’ll be there to support her the best I can ❤️❤️ I’ll definitely cope so hard after she’s gone 😭😭

anyway goodbye Mika.. L + Ratio + your dead + skill issue /j

Relationship Red Flags: 5 Signs That a Relationship Isn’t Off to a Good Start

A question I often get asked is “what are the red flags I should watch out for in a new relationship?” While it can be hard to know early on whether a relationship is likely to stand the test of time, we do know that some factors predict greater odds of success and long-term satisfaction. 

In this post, I’ll explore five things that are likely indicators of serious problems, according to the research. However, keep in mind that, when it comes to love and relationships, there are no universal rules and principles that apply in every possible situation. Also, some of the problems we’ll discuss (like poor communication) can potentially be overcome if you’re willing to work together on them, so it ultimately depends on how you feel and what you want.

1.) Abusive behavior. If you’re with a partner who is abusive to you physically or psychologically, it’s important to get out and get help early on. While this one might sound obvious, we know that many people end up staying with abusive partners for a range of reasons (e.g. hoping they’ll change, finding justifications for the behavior, etc.), and many find it harder to leave abusive relationships the longer they’ve been in them because they become very invested in the relationship and dependent on their partner [1]. Unfortunately, many then find themselves subject to a long-term pattern of abuse that increases in severity over time. Abuse is an unequivocal relationship red flag.  

2.) Overly controlling and manipulative behavior. Another warning sign is when you’re with a partner who seems overly controlling or manipulative. These behaviors include things like controlling who you can see and what you can do, demanding access to your passwords so that they can check up on you, and trying to separate you from your family and friends. Research has shown a link between overly controlling behavior and domestic abuse [2], which suggests it could be an early sign of more serious problems down the road.

3.) Lack of communication. Study after study shows that communication is one of the biggest keys to both sexualand relationship satisfaction. A lack of communication can create a number of issues. For example, in the bedroom it means you’re less likely to get what it is that you really want from sex. Also, it means you’re going to run into a lot of difficultly resolving relationship conflicts and problems if you have a partner who just isn’t willing to talk about these things. One of the most problematic communication patterns is stonewalling, in which one partner effectively shuts down and disengages. That said, communication is a skill that can be learned, so if there are good reasons to stay in the relationship and you and your partner are willing to work on this, it may be possible to overcome. For tips on dealing with stonewalling and other problematic communication patterns, check out this article.

4.) Extreme selfishness and narcissism. Another big key to relationship success is a mutual willingness to give and take, both in and out of the bedroom. Partners who are motivated to meet each other’s needs (something known as “sexual communal strength” or “sexual communion”) and who take turns doing this tend to be more satisfied with both their sex lives and relationships [3]. So if you’re in a relationship where things are a one-way street—it’s all about your partner and never or rarely about you—that doesn’t bode well for the future. Of course, everyone can be a little selfish sometimes, so the red flag we’re talking about here refers to a persistent pattern of behavior. Related to this is narcissism, or having an overly inflated self-view. Narcissism is related to being selfish, but it’s also related to more manipulative behavior. People who have narcissistic partners tend to be less happy in their relationships [4].

5.) They make you feel bad more often than they make you feel good. One of the biggest questions to ask yourself is this: how does your partner make you feel? Do you typically feel happy, secure, and comfortable when you’re around them? Of course, every relationship has its own issues and conflicts will inevitably arise, so it’s normal to have some moments where you aren’t feeling great about yourself or about the relationship—but if you find yourself feeling bad more often than you’re feeling good, that’s a sign that it might not be the right relationship. It’s also worth noting that the ratio of positive to negative comments expressed during conflict situations is a key predictor of relationship success—specifically, couples who have 5 positive comments for every 1 negative comment are much more likely to survive. Having the right balance of positive to negative interactions is key during conflict situations, but also in the relationship more broadly.

Of course, these aren’t the only possible red flags to keep an eye out for. A severe lack of trust, extreme insecurity, a lack of respect for your boundaries, and strong jealous tendencies are also potential signs of conflict, turmoil, and other problems ahead.

How Does Alcohol Affect a Workout?

Winter is here. It’s cold outside—often cold and snowy and/or rainy enough to dissuade most people from extensive outdoor activities—and extremely warm indoors. Families are getting together, companies are throwing holiday parties, we’re eating, drinking and merry-making. Alcohol is everywhere, and many of us will be drinking more than we usually do. In fact, this time of year presides over a sharp spike in alcohol consumption.

What’s it mean for your workout?

After looking at the research, at first glance, I’m going to be honest with you: It doesn’t sound good.

But it’s also not the end of the world.

The Bad News: Alcohol’s Impact On Exercise Alcohol Dehydrates You

Alcohol is one of the worst diuretics, impairing the body’s ability to reabsorb water and increasing the amount we urinate.

Going into a workout with suboptimal hydration levels is a serious handicap.

It increases your cortisol:testosterone ratio after a session, reducing your gains and making the workout more stressful than it should be. A big part of the “workout afterglow” is the rush of testosterone; with that effect blunted and stress heightened, you’ll miss out on the sense of well-being a good workout provides.

It reduces performance during a cycling time trial, making the workout feel harder and increasing the amount of glycogen you burn.  The same thing happens when you lift; dehydration reduces performance, impairs heart rate recovery, decreases the number of reps, and makes the lifts feel harder than normal.

Dehydration also increases injury risk. Your tendons, ligaments, and other bits of connective tissue require optimal hydration to stay supple and strong. Demand too much from a dehydrated Achilles’ tendon and you may regret it.

These things are likely to happen if you fail to rehydrate after drinking and before you train. They are avoidable, provided you rehydrate with some water, salt and lime.

Alcohol Can Impair Your Body Control

Postural control degrades rapidly under the influence of alcohol. Even low-dose alcohol has an immediately negative effect on your ability to control your body through space and time. This has major ramifications for training, particularly full-body, compound lifts like squats, deadlifts, or complex skill-based training. Just as driving after drinking is dangerous, so is lifting (even the day after in many cases).

Alcohol Can Be Bad For Sleep

Alcohol might “knock you out” at the end of the night, but it does not give a restful, restorative sleep.

Alcohol starts by inhibiting melatonin secretion. Yes, when you fall asleep after alcohol, it’s not because of your usual melatonin release. It’s because alcohol is a good old fashioned muscle relaxant and sedative. With alcohol, you’re “forcing the issue,” rather than allowing your circadian clock to gently lull you off to peaceful slumber. This inhibits the growth hormone release that normally follows melatonin-induced sleep onset, so you miss out on the muscle-building, fat-burning effects of a good GH session.

Then, once your body clears the alcohol, you get the “rebound effect”—which throws your sleep cycle into immediate disarray, waking you up, leaving you scrambled and confused, and further disrupting the muscle recovery process.

To top things off, the next day you’ll often feel trashed, hungover, and exhausted. If you were planning on getting in another workout, you’ll have a more difficult time convincing yourself after a night of drinking (and, given the previous point, a more difficult time performing certain workouts as safely).

Alcohol Can Potentiate Fat Storage

If you’re exercising as part of a larger strategy to lose body fat and improve body composition, alcohol can “affect your workout” by impairing fat oxidation. When you drink alcohol, it gets precedent over the other macronutrients. Fat, carb, and protein metabolism all take a back seat to alcohol metabolism. Too many carbs and fatty acids floating around your blood might cause problems in the long term, but ethanol is truly toxic—its removal gets top priority.

This is good for your acute health, but it also means that fat and carb oxidation are suppressed, and any food you consume alongside the alcohol is more likely to be stored as body fat.

The Big Picture: Choosing Wisely

So, never drink? No.

But be smart about it.

Don’t Drink and Then Train

Almost no one is doing this, except rats in studies and guys doing pushup competitions in the alley outside the bar at 2:15 A.M. All the studies indicate that you’ll lose power, strength, endurance, and performance while increasing your risk of injury and getting subpar training effects.

Don’t Drink Every Day

Especially don’t drink to excess every day. Chronic intakes of alcohol mean you’re never quite off the sauce, and studies in alcoholics indicate that chronic drinking does impair hormonal health and reduce muscle protein synthesis.

Keep It Moderate

When you binge on alcohol (1.5 g alcohol per kg of bodyweight or more, about 9 drinks), muscle protein synthesis and the hormonal cascade related to it are blunted for several days. When you drink smaller amounts of alcohol (under 1.5 grams per kg), testosterone actually goes up.

If You’re Going To Drink, Make Sure You’ve Already Worked Out

A hard workout before you drink alcohol improves your ability to metabolize that alcohol, reduces its negative effects, and gives a psychological boost (“I earned this glass of wine”) that improves the subjective experience of drinking. However, your strength may take longer to recover if you decide to drink after a workout, especially if you’re a man. Post-workout alcohol consumption doesn’t seem to affect women’s muscle performance recovery.

If Alcohol Ruins Your Sleep, Know It Will Limit Your Training Adaptation

Either avoid drinking—that’s what I did when I found alcohol had terrible effects on my sleep—or take a few steps to improve your alcohol clearance. Start and finish drinking earlier to give your body more time to clear it out before bed. Try some or all of the hangover prevention methods I outlined here. At the very least, drink water alongside alcohol and (before bed) take some supplemental melatonin and drink salty sparkling mineral water with the juice from a couple limes.

Alcohol has the potential to destroy your gains, impair your sleep, increase your risk of injury, and dehydrate you—but only if you overdo it. Figure out what “overdo it” means for you, and avoid stepping over that line.

How do you handle exercise and alcohol? Does alcohol hurt your training? Have you changed your drinking habits for the sake of training?

Thanks for reading, everyone. Take care.
