Well, trying to get the hydrocortisone dosage back to my regular (doc says still too high) just sets me up for physiologic depressionā¦ No motivation, cold, weakā¦ Basically just want to sitā¦
Rain weekend so riding would be a challenge, except sunday after noonā¦ Just couldnāt motrivate to rideā¦ thought ok, squats and deads at gymā¦ just too much hassleā¦
so about 2 1/2 hours on the wood pile. Nothing like splitting wood to make you feel your age!
Monday got a decent 11m ride in,

So.
stravaās training app shows me quite fatigued.
Still canāt get Hydro correct. Crashed again today. took 2 extra and still had to take Zofran. Going to go quite high on Hydro and see if that helps. Lift vs. ride will help reduce need for Hydro Iām also going to try and get lifting into strava as that does effect fatigue.

10x125

3x5x125
mostly systemic. HR rather high, could not catch breath. very humblingā¦ I give myself the excuse that all my hormones are fādā¦ Iron stopped my anemia but thickened blood so much I have to crash my t levels and drop 3 pintsā¦ BP is way high. Surprisingly everything is quite functionalā¦ A bit of brain fog from time to time. Thanking my higher T levels were making up for low cortisol.
I wonder if it sucked so much because I crashed again last nightā¦ 2 1/2 times this weekā¦ one was borderline go to hospital but I stopped vomiting. Iām up 1 by the time I lifted. After seeing the bill for the last er visits. itās going to be even harder to go even if I really must goā¦ f! over reached on bicycle by not doing all that muchā¦ paying for it all weekā¦ I could use a good run of medical luckā¦
anywayā¦ may have sucked but first time is doneā¦ Done is done. Second will be soonā¦

Donāt know what an Uber-Clyde is but a 32 mile ride looks good.
Not every day you can lose a whole categoryā¦ I thought uber-clyde was over 220ā¦ But its really over 300. So Iām just a clyde.
For a heavy rider, think over 150ā¦ Hills are difficult. Funny how different sports/activities have different scaling curves. Anyway nearly every town around has hill the name, and those that donāt shouldā¦
Iām 6ā on a good day, But about 250-260lb of late. Was down to 230 during the worst of covid. But a whole bunch of stress hit so back to 250-256 is like a set point.
Really I want to get down to 220lb. Iāve given up my cider habit on the weekdaysā¦ So thatās not an insignificant amount of calories a weekā¦
But with my hormones all coming in a bottleā¦ Finding the right dose for each is temporary at best. Most of those that know me say go by subjective.
Docās seem to see me and think fat, sedentary old man who exaggerates activityā¦ They met me after brain surgery when I was still out of it from the concussion from the car accident and basically slept for 4 monthsā¦
Even when I show them data it just doesnāt seem to get throughā¦ 2 serious (Addisonās crisis) medical emergencies may have broke through to my endo finally. But she just keeps repeating āyou know, your almost 60.ā like 6 times in a appointmentā¦ Itās become a joke with my SOā¦ as she turns 60 this decemberā¦
