D26: 03.13.16

Not done a weigh-in or a workout in a while. Occasionally I have knee troubles and I’m guessing all the pounding of the cardio sort of contributed to a bit of an onset, which I mentioned in the last workout on my left Leg. That turned into some knee issues, which prompted a cessation of further Cardio and Labrada’s Joint juice that I like to use to set things right. Tastes ghastly but works everytime.

Along the way, though, in fact, the day after my last post, we got the GTFO letter from the owners of our former rental. The story here was that the rental was sold to some new buyers, who evidently evidently upon themselves to become representative of the dregs of humanity, truly reprehensible and outright bad people utterly devoid of so much as a trace of integrity. Thus, even though my knee was back in order by that weekend, I had to very quickly find a new place, so all my free time was spent scouring the interwebs for wherever that would be. I also had to cancel every one of the out of town business trips I had scheduled.

So, I would research, drive by, sometimes walk through over and over again until I found something workable and then I would take my wife and son to check it out. I was basically looking for rejections and after one place made the grade, I finalized it the following Friday. I wound up working late that same day, but once I got back home, began immediately moving, solo, with my bum Shoulder and re-aggravated sprained left thumb. So, definitely got a lot of work in, particularly since it snowed Sunday and I added shovel work into the mix as well. Definitely exhausting.

That continued well into the following week, which, combined with still working full time, basically left me sleeping if I wasn’t working, packing or moving. It ran me ragged, but did demonstrate perhaps that muscle memory on my part took the extra work in stride and rebounded quickly, even without the aid of a ton of protein, a somewhat crappy diet and lots of beer, which was really my only hope of unwinding, given the pressure of the things, particularly trying to work around stupid rain and fucking snow. I don’t know what it did to my body composition, but it definitely wore me the fuck out after 1 week+ straight of that…anyway, with the big move-in the last weekend of the month, I scheduled nothing on the agenda but well-deserved recuperation and then wound up fighting a cold for 2 weeks and change, then another trip out of town, wherein I continued to be plagued by a relentless sore throat. So a week of rest and settling in turned into a lot more and that brings us right up to where we are today, which is more or less going to be a reset…life and all that.

Workout: Cardio
Equipment Used: Schwinn Air Dyne
Duration: ~5 miles/~25 minutes
Driver: Highway Thru Hell (Netflix)
Calories: unknown

Quality Level: N/A It's been 2 months and I've been fighting various minor ailments for the last 2 or 3 weeks, so I mostly just wanted to try to get the rhythm back. This will be the case for the next week or so, I imagine, though if I can get things clicking sooner, I will definitely do it. Tonight didn't feel super-wonderful but I was itching to get back...having to re-adjust my ass to the seat again is one in a long list of annoyances surrounding the move I mentioned earlier...

Observations/Intel: My wife is ill today or I probably would have put this off to tomorrow, but this will be the last Sunday workout until Walking Dead takes a season hiatus. Hopefully by then (mid-April I think), I'll be way back more into a position to floor it...
