D191: 11.29.23

Workout: Cardio
Equipment Used: Schwinn AirDyne
Duration: 6 mi/~30 min
Driver: Random YouTube Bullshit

Quality Level: N/A
Observations/Intel: Interestingly, I woke up yesterday morning and my Legs felt fine, like completely normal, and I thought, whoa, that's a pretty wicked bounceback and I should maybe go longer next time. This lasted basically until I hit the stairs. Yesterday was a lot of walking around during the course of the day, today somewhat less so, but I was kind of looking forward to the workout. It turned out to be mostly runny shit (and I'm trying not to overtax myself when I have work days the following day, so there's also that) and definitely if there is something interesting to watch, that is a lot more helpful. Still, I want to move the weekday workouts towards night, if at all possible, which the time change is kind of fucking me on, since it gets stupid dark earlier (and the stupid dark is part of the reason I moved the goddamn Air Dyne upstairs), but until I fully switch my diet over to the bodybuilding days (not this year, probably), anytime before I actually get hungry will probably work. I try to time it so that lunch isn't overly weighing on me (need to make better choices there, probably) but it's not the point where my body expects food quite yet, so work in progress. Once I resume the gym, it will go back to working out at 7 or 8 at night somewhere in there...at least that's the plan. Anyway, air was garbage, Legs were good for the first 14 - 20 minutes and then it became a struggle. I'm not choosing things that I know will push me for viewing just yet, since I'm still trying to work things out.

D190: 11.27.23

Workout: Cardio
Equipment Used: Schwinn AirDyne
Duration: 6.7mi/~35 min
Driver: Random YouTube Bullshit
Calories: ???

Quality Level: N/A
Observations/Intel: So, from last time, a few updates. Job thing is fine, for now. I have a decent enough handle on the schedule. I've also worked out all the boozing from my system I had a hankerin' to do and the doctor's visit went well enough. So, I'm resuming today. I was going to start a few days ago, but had some severe allergy and headache crap that cramped that. 

Air, as expected, was complete and total ass. Legs also not great, so I need to, once afuckinggain, get my dumb fat ass back accustomed to the Air Dyne so I can work on better cardio. Last weigh-in (fully clothed and bloated) was 265, so, cool, cool, definite hardcore backsliding. Again, not unexpected, but annoying. I worked out positioning for the Air Dyne as well, so we're good to go and I just need to keep climbing back on the goddamn thing regularly. I'm hopeful that by the end of the year, I'll be accustomed to it enough (workouts are going to be very low key for the rest of this year) that I can start firing cardio, with an eye to hitting the gym early next year. I have not adjusted my diet yet, which I also need to do, but I do have some components of it on the way, so that should hopefully be starting maybe next week. I'm feeling positive about stuff overall, but still kind of annoyed this is the path I wound up on.
