Day 43

I feel as if I have been in, and may still be in, a black hole that I have been trying to claw my way out of for three weeks. Since coming home from San Diego I have been playing catch up at work and on top of it I got sick. I still have congestion and a cough I can’t seem to get rid of entirely and my energy level has been so low that even when I attempt a work out I can only do half of what is required. From many standpoints I am at a very low point, a point at which I have been at man… Continue

I was in San Diego for a week with my sister to help my parents pack up and clean their house of 30 years so that they can put the house on the market and move closer to my sister and me. We both arrived in San Diego around 11pm on Friday the 25th and were up at 8 am the next morning to start working. The temperature was in the high 80’s and spent the first half of the day crawling around the attic in the garage and handing down all the “treasures” to my parents and sister below. It was dirty, s… Continue

It is harder to keep up with a blog posts than I realize! I don't have great internet connection at home which leaves only my work computer and is isn't always easy to sit down and write thoughfully or coherently.

The past few days have been good. I am, for some reason, dreading my IMT exercises. I think it is simply because the balancing postures are so hard! My quads feel like they are on fire, not to mention every other muscle in my leg. When I don't feel like doing them, I simply look at th… Continue

I have been struggling with my internet connection at home but thankfully, that is all that I have struggled with. I have been eating properly, no cheating and getting mostly all my water in....sometimes I don't get all 5+ liters in but I am working on it daily. I have done all of my IMT sessions and did my first Power Circuit today. I like the PC in the morning, it gets me going more so than the IMT. Sometimes I dread the IMT solely due to the balance poses but even those are getting better.
