Hey HKD! Oh…well…teh daytime. I am not having so much trouble with the getting up early and stuff, but I must confess there is a FAR more conservative vibe in the day. Day dwellers at this particular clinic I work at now are nice and all…but it means that the big wigs and the higher ups are there while I work. which is fine when it comes to how hard I work or how professionally I approach things, my skills etc, but apparently NOT my personal appearance.
I’ve been told I look “too progressive” for the clinic…which at first I was like ok whatever I’ll fix what I can and then show up for work look in the uniform type way 9 bear in mind I never hid how i look in my interviews, I wanted to be honest with them and its not like I’m THAT out of control looking COME ON!! And this is animal work, which they should be happy I show up with some makeup and deodorant vs some of the granola types who tend to flaort around my profession with uni brows and …
well, frumpy looks smelling of pachuli and unshaven arm pits)…then it kinda surprised me just how insulting it was! I know I know…its a job whatever and I did do what they asked, but…it just struck me as terribly personal and stiffing to be told how I need to present myself. Blah blah blah…long story short…daytime is , daytime. Another thing that stuck me is perhaps I was being singled out for either being vibrantly ginger? or being new…since a few other people have some of their own questionable features (crappy neck tattoos for fucks sake! but not "progressive " ie shaven hair like me). WHATEVER. But yeah, as a whoel I really am likeing the people I work with besides one particular chick.
SCOTTO! I meant to tell you when I checked my log last week THANK YOU! You know, As silly as it sounds I never even considered the options I have as it goes to training around an injury! I was stuck in a rut of being lame and devastated! Of course I was silly, how many lifters have probably faced the same freaking thing as me?!! TONS!!! And I know many who have come out the other side of injury! Thank you for reminding me to well, look thru a new window! THANK YOU!!! There are more then one way to do things, thank you for reminding me!
I read up and thru advise form my pull up guru guy I came to realize in terms of my injury, I do need rest. My body gave some pretty straight forward signs to me to STOP, so i did. I have not lifted at all, and I won’t until at least the first of December. Pull ups and body wt stuff, wailing are my things for the time being. I have to force myself to do mobility things as my hips are tightening up from the lack of squats. I’ve nothing but getting stronger and better ahead of me, and while i have pain I can do none of those things… I can however rest and heal.
Last weeks pull ups: 8 sets of 10, then misc sets to get to 100
the next day was ng pull ups and chins ss them 5, 5,6, 6,7, 7,8, 8,5, 5, 6, 6, 7,7,8, 8, then whatever sets
today pull ups 8 sets of 10, 1x9, then misc set to get to a total off 100.
Its a huge load off my back to know he gets love and attention while I am away at work for 13 hours. Such a relief! My mom I think has become way smitten which is a delight since when I first got him she was not so sure being he has a mastiffy pitty look. … But he’s charmed the socks off her.
I’m just hoping the pull ups will keep my abs and back fairly in tune while I’m not lifting, and the miles of walking I do with My Mossimo keep my legs fairly ready to support some future work! I hope I hope I hope!
