because it was already too high. dxy needs to get below 88 for things to really hum export-wise. it got high because of the global instability these last 5 years and the high interest rates, it's falling in anticipation of a better world and lower rates.

stopped gaining weight, settling at 177 lbs, starting to drop body fat again. in the last 2 days i've developed what i call ab dimples, which is the start of a v-taper which is a big goal of mine. people on /fit/ say that you can't spot target fat, but that's actually not completely true, your muscles absolutely do draw from the fat cells nearest to them for energy, and lower belly fat is the hardest to target because it's so hard to activate those muscles, but two very good ways to do that are chin ups and deadlift, which i've been doing a lot of and making good progress on. as skinny and lean as i was, there was still plenty of fat to lose, but i'm nearly where i want to be, which is visible abs without flexing, lower abdominal muscles visible. cardio is also key to achieving this.
anyways it's btbt earnings day, it's up some in the premarket, and i could sell at a loss and still have 400 cash, but i'm going to try not to break the piggy bank open just yet, catch a big move and maybe tomorrow i'll have a lot of cash to put to work. i didn't trade much this last month, but it was enough to put me in a pretty good spot, although the profits have slowed down a bit because of blunders and fear, that could change tomorrow. as it is i've booked 5300 in trading gains since april, which is a huge tailwind to my returns and allowed me to buy a lot this year. so ya. even though i'm sad and frustrated about stuff, i have a lot going for me and i need to remember that. i'm trying to take friends along with the journey, journaling all my trades and workouts, soon i'll be rich and beautiful, it can happen to you too. probably not gonna trade today, but i might, today i think will be tricky though, got a major event tomorrow and just had two huge up days. and i just looked and everything went big red, must have got bad ppi numbers.

that's trading i guess. yesterday i was down huge, this morning up huge, settled for a modest profit. ups and downs. victories and defeats. hope somebody learned a thing or two. reminds me of my wrestling dream.
