I got one of those "fitness trackers" (like a fitbit, but not expensive) which I plan on completely ignoring the "steps" tracking function of (and will continue to ignore, even when walking is something I am allowed to do) because I at this point do not trust my own estimation of how well I am sleeping, and let's face it, messed up sleep messes up ( Read more... )

On Sunday, 15 minutes into a much needed cleaning binge (did I mention we're getting a puppy in a few weeks? and we have SO MUCH STUFF in puppy chewable/pee-on-able places that we'd rather not be ruined?) I slipped and twisted my ankle under my full weight plus the heavy bag I was carrying.

I haven't been in this much pain since I was throwing my ( Read more... )

I resorted to a can and a half of Monster energy drink to make it though the Pancakes and Booze show (we tore down at 1 am) and was basically completely wrecked for two days following. My body appears to be almost entirely done with bubbly caffeinated drinks, so I need to come up with a new strategy before the next late night show, and frankly, a ( Read more... )

I made it back to the gym after a two week hiatus and it's kind of amazing the difference it's made to how I feel., Not my mood, exactly, but just how I feel inside my body, way more confident (but much more sore.) It isn't visual, it's just feel like a being with physical agency instead of a lump.

I guess lifting heavy things just makes me feel ( Read more... )

It is 93 and humid.

I did not haul my ass back to the PNW for 93 and humid in June.

Actually made it to the gym this morning as planned!

Most of my "stopping now" weights used to be my warm-up weights. Ouch. I made a new fitocracy account for tracking because I want the progress cookies for motivation, which will take forever to happen with my old workouts there as comparison.

The gym has slightly improved -- they adding rowing ( Read more... )

We've reached the first challenge day in gluten elimination diet land, and it has been such a mess. You do your first challenge with something like barley or rye, since they have gluten, and then if that goes okay, after three or four days you do wheat (it's very common to have a wheat allergy without a gluten intolerance, and it does widen your ( Read more... )

Today was root canal day! Woo.

And apparently becuase I am very special, I have an extra root on that tooth, so I get to come back for part 2 in two weeks. Yay ( Read more... )

That little broken tooth issue I went in for today turned into a referral for a root canal (it's a molar, and my dentist refers those out. Which is not encouraging ( Read more... )
