Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By nyalaman:
Lotta folks are broke. Hip feels horrible, bursitis comes and goes periodically. Squatted 250 x 5 and stopped because of the pain this morning, felt light though. Court case with the EX was finalized on Monday so now I can focus my energy more on training. Going to spread out my recovery time so I will squat 1x per week, for now. I'm going to take 2 weeks off for vacation, no lifting at all, should help in recovery. My wife told me that I should spend more time hunting this year because I deserve it- 
My conditioning for the next few months will be the hike to my hunting grounds. Anvil- Good luck on the hunt, don't forget pic's. |

Tried doing some swimming today for a cardio. I'm gonna have to start dropping some kg's in the ole bodyweight to try to address my hormonal balance and to get cut, so I thought while I'm chasing 1200 I can swim some twice a week.
I'm really not good at it, and it's always hard for me to convince myself to do things I'm not good at. (and I'm only really good at two things.) It was nice though, to have the ole HR up and be out of breath but not be hot or sweaty. The not nice part was not being able to breathe whenever i wanted. |

Maybe just cut back on the calories a little and up the cardio a tiny bit. I always find a little cardio helps with gains. |

Hit the gym today and did a little bis, tris, and chest with dumbbells. I'm gonna just lay off my legs until I get in to see a rheumatologist, because I'm afraid I'm going to permanently damage my knees. And sonofabitch, so far I can't get in anywhere earlier than end of February. I need to keep looking/trying. |

My first workout in two weeks today- was asked to join the Crossfit WOD because it was a partner workout and they were a man short. We won
Other than that - I fluctuate between 'life sucks' and 'I'm living the dream'. Turned down a bunch of work to focus on t-line, but the t-line stuff is being slow to ramp up. If I get the work I've been spending all my time bidding on I'll suddenly be doing really well. Till then I'm scrambling to make payroll. So lifting isn't even in the back seat anymore, it just got kicked out of the car. And kipping pull ups are harder than they look. |

I drove through a snow and ice storm in Tennessee a few years ago. It was the single most scary driving I've ever done, even if it was 'just an inch' of snow. Funny how different the snow is in various parts of the county. We can more or less drive on it here, it's wet and packs down well. In Wisconsin it just moves around the tires, the plows, drifts and blows everywhere and makes a terrible mess. |

My wife is still very much struggling with the aftereffects of rhabdo. Very challenging for her.
On a brighter note, she was told Friday she got a major promotion and raise, which will help offset the hit we will take when I quit my job in January to attend nursing school, for which I received my conditional acceptance letter today. Heady 48 hours for sure. |
