Trying to describe how I feel physically: possibly like having a slight hangover when you only got 3 hours of sleep the night before? And the front part of my brain/head feels fuzzy. Kinda like when you arm falls asleep? ya
Sorta like that.
Caffeine is my lifeline right now and I know it’s bad when you already have existing stuff going on. Asking the metabolism and energy systems to work harder when there isn’t anything left to work can’t be good. can’t help it though!
Pulled training out of my ass though.
walking/warm ups(back raise, kb swings)
DL-
135x3
(skipped the 160x5 I was supposed to do)
185x3
205x5
(new 1rm of 240, woot!)
That is a wise perspective on the matter. I wouldn’t want someone shoving meds down my throat that isn’t listening or being mindful of my needs and concerns either. I had to take neuroanatomy with med students in grad school. So many of them are just great memorizers. They couldn’t tell their ass from their head, if they didn’t read it in a textbook. In the middle of lectures they would raise their hand to ask if the material was going to be on the test. There are good ones out there though! Hopefully you can find a diamond in the rough.
You would be surprised at how many medical professionals smoke. When my mom worked on a psych floor, they put the smoking area right outside the morgue. And since so many nurses smoked they had to put a speaker system out there so they could hear if they were paged or if there was an emergency they needed to go to.
i really hope you get to see someone who can listen and has a brain. i’ve spent some time struggling to be heard by health professionals, too, and understand how frustrating it can be! have a wonderful GP now (for the first time ever) which is terrific. the specialists she has referred me to who she has known personally have been wonderful, too. still have some shockers when she needs to (her words) ‘pick one at random because i don’t really know’ though.
would it maybe help for you to write something down? then it should be placed in your record, too, so it makes it much harder for them to be able to justify being dismissive (if the mood strikes them)? just a thought…
push ups ARE hard. i can only get about 10 out before my triceps give up
185lbs grrr another one deadlifting the weight I failed to pull in Feb!
I’m not going to go crazy and retest my 1RM until after I am satisfied with my deadlift form.
^I have to keep telling myself this to stay focused. lol.
Getting ready to roll outta here…1 week of family downtime in MI, ahhhh…

A date night is also in order for the Man and I. A moonlit stroll down the lane… <3 <3
