one week later and I'm baaaaaaaaaaack.
Kind of.
Let's be clear. I feel better today than I have in months. Surgery sucked, but I didn't expect anything less. 4 IV start attempts, and I have some pretty sick bruises on my forearms from that. I like to tell people I got in a fight. Then I remember there's really no logical way I could get a bruise there from a physical altercation and also I would never in my life get in a fight.
I got a release from my doctor, and got back to training with Darin today! Unfortunately and I know you all know how disappointed I was about this, squats are out of the question until around the 28th when I get all my stitches out, and that's as much as I'll say about that. I'm so sad. Just kidding that was basically the best part of all this mess...and you know, not having cancer. I got a new polar ft7 heart rater monitor because I've bought legit 50$ worth of batteries for my ft4 so I decided to replace it...and amazon pointed out the ft7 was only $6 dollars more than my replacement AND it came with free 2 day shipping. So I'm the proud new owner of a red one. 523 calories in 53 minutes. doin' werk. Apparently you're supposed to breathe a certain way when you exercise which, what? I can't focus on breathing AND doing seated rows at the same time. I have a hard time counting my own reps. During leg extensions today, Darin said "2 more" and I did one more and said "was that 2?" because I felt like it was. but really. Also in other news I got Eloise (my scale) back. I haven't gotten on it yet because apparently if you don't drink water (I've had about 16 ounces in 3 days) your body starts holding on to all the water and will mess with the number. I'm fighting the urge to weigh now, but I'm going to try to drink my gallon tomorrow and Sunday and then try my luck Monday.
Lastly, in other news, I'm moving to training online with Darin. Lots has happened this past week. Looks like I'm gonna be starting at ETSU this fall (or January) for (possibly) audiology (but that requires a commitment to grad school and a 3.75 GPA for the next 2 years) or health care administration and psychology. Thus, I'm probably gonna have to take summer classes, obtain my own car because I'll be a commuter student. There is also lots of new stuff going on at work. I've been working in person with Darin for 11 months (as most of my readers are well aware) and I feel like I'm actually ready to do this on my own...and by on my own I mean still with his workouts and nutrition plans, just with less supervision. I don't need the standing appointment to be motivation for me to hit the gym anymore. The blog will still be here, but it will likely be updated less often and could quite possibly die. But seriously y'all. 80 pounds in 11 months is no small feat and I've learned a ton. I don't really need this blog that much anymore. I love what I'm doing now, and while I love to write, maybe just not as often. My goal is to have lost 100lbs by the end of July, which means I have work to do. So, thanks for reading and being such good blog followers through this mess I call my life.
Later! Also. This song has been on repeat for hours. Do yourselves a favor and get it on iTunes.
