OFF or easy aerobic recovery of choice

30:00 mixed AirDyne and mobility


Okay.  I guess this is happening.  This was the 3rd night this week that I've gotten less than 3 hours of sleep due to pain and/or anxiety, which is killing me more than anything else.  I'm so tired.  And people keep telling me I won't be able to sleep after surgery either, so that's depressing.

Not proud of how I handled yesterday.  I don't know what made it so emotional.  I mean, obviously it's an emotional thing and it's a big thing and there's a lot that will change.  Loss of independence. Needing to ask for help.  Not training.  Sitting out the Open.  Not working. An unexpected stressor was wanting my mom to come and meeting (unreasonable) resistance from my dad.  But also, the urgency startled me.  Was it really only a week ago that I thought Tim would laugh at me for being concerned, and that I'd still be able to do the Open in 3 weeks?  It seems like this thing went from "minor tweak" to "eh, probably best not to aggravate it" to "eh, better get it checked out" to "uh, you're having surgery" to "uh, you're having surgery at the first available appointment" really fast. 

I'll deal.  I'm dealing.  I can't imagine a better team of people managing the recovery/rehab, between Tim and Drew and Kirk and Stephen, and for that I'm lucky.  They won't find a more compliant/diligent patient.

Muscle-up by September 1.  Please?

softball - last game, for real this time canceled


Finally, finally, FINALLY broke into 159 today.  This is officially the hardest anyone has ever worked to lose 5lbs.  I can count the number of occasions I've been off by more than 1g on my macros since July on one hand, and I've become increasingly neurotic about being perfect.  With how slowly I was losing weight, I really felt like perfection was necessary.  This has been really tough, mostly mentally, but also figuring out how much hunger I can tolerate.  Feeling really good right now, and feeling like the numbers and hunger are sustainable (for now).  I'd like to lose another 5lbs by the Open, which seems an appropriate timeline based on how long it took me to get this far.  Let's see what Mike says when we Skype tomorrow!

Got roped into being on my new lab's softball team... I'm afraid they've mistaken the amount of time I spend exercising for athletic talent.  But then again, these are scientists we're talking about...
