20F this morning. Been a great winter for snow so far, but warm, until this week. Lifting to follow later.
Had a blood pressure check yesterday at the pharmacy. 134/82. Not that it is crazy high, but I am normally a perfect 120/80 or less. So that is new. Might need to start watching the diet harder. Could also have something to do with how I have been feeling at work too. New job is… Not great. But, very few are and it pays for my trips.

Great night, everything felt good. Added hip abduction on this day, because who doesn’t want a more perky butt? Conditioning was hard, only rests were to put the bells down to shake out grip. I’ll keep that one in the rotation.

Punching the clock today. Didn’t want to go, but got in and knocked it out. My back was really bugging me today (and the last few days). Have doc appointment scheduled for Wednesday (assuming it doesn’t get canceled again). My diet has been not great, meals are on point, but many snacks every night. I am also taking a break from tracking. These two things aren’t the best combination physically, but mentally, I am loving it.

Good day over all. Skipped triceps today. Gym is becoming slightly less of a zoo, but still super busy with lines for everything.

5 rounds:
20 pushups
20 air squats
Then
100 air squats
Got in a little bodyweight movement today. Skipped the gym last night, no excuse, just didn’t want to deal with the crowd.
Finally got in to the doc for a physical. They think my back issue is either:
- a muscle strain gone bad and snowballed into a nerve problem, or
- a herniated disc pinching a nerve
Either way, she recommended 6-8 weeks of physical therapy and then a follow up. PT is suppsed to call me in the next few days to get setup. Should be interesting, I have never done physical therapy before.
It has been two weeks since I last touched red dirt. Which means I am past due to go get my feet on it. Splurged a little with a hotel this time, since we won’t be away from all civilization. Many hikes planned.

I always love seeing your photos. I must say that you’re a little spoiled by that landscape though. I’m jealous!

Spoiled rotten. Example: Hubby and I have been tossing around the idea of traveling out of the country, it has been almost four years since our last trip across the pond. Looking at photos of Scandinavian countries, and they look amazing. Then I start looking at prices of flights and think: “huh, I could go on 6-7 local trips for just the prices of flights. I still have so much to see here.”
It’s a thing. I measure so much in how many trips I could take.
