Day 52: (2-5-24)

Things got a bit exciting at work and I took some time away. I'm back at the house and trying to get back into my routine. Always easy to get off track when I'm traveling. Going to get back on the grind though. Had my blood work done today. I should know tomorrow if the working out has paid off. I have officially lost 10 lbs since November though so I'm going to call it a victory. Need to clean up my diet next.

Day 53: (2-6-24)

Good day today. Got my lab work back and my bad cholesterol is still high and my good cholesterol is still low. I'm going to try to fix my diet and see if that helps. I haven't talked to the Dr. yet but I am going to refuse drugs unless she has a really good argument. I feel like I can still make this work if I just take a bit better care of myself.

I went through the same thing with cholesterol except my good was in range. I have the prescription but haven't started taking it yet.

Day 54 (2-7-24):

No workout today. My 1 year old wanted to snuggle and every time I tried to leave he cried. Got some good snuggling in though so that works.

 

[Baryl]

Day 55: (2-8-24)

@CODawn I guess I'm glad its not just a me thing. I'm still holding out hope to bring it down. Working out alone probably won't do it though.

Same problem here and that's another reason for my actual diet.
I refuse also to take any statin as this is sh...t!
So end of February I'll do a blood test and see if my diet helped.

Take care and do I neat diet. Some nice veggies also helps for cholesterol like phenol.
Fiber also help

Day 56: (2-9-24)

@Deadoks Thank you. Let me know how it goes for you and I'll let you know how it goes for me. Hopefully we both have good news.

I've decided to try to double up on the 60 days of cardio workouts as much as I can. They are starting to not be much of a challenge as my body seems to be adapting back to where I was previously (though I still have a long way to go). Doubling the workouts should add some challenge.

Day 61: (2-14-24)

Back to working out today. My knees just weren't holding up to day 22 of 60 days of cardio due to the lunges so I did that day at level 1 and did day 23 at level 2. I'm feeling a bit worn out from the last few days but its good to be back at it.

[Baryl]

Day 65: (2-18-24)

Hindsight being 20/20 I should have done some yoga yesterday to free up the legs. I did today and it did wonders. Day 27, of 60 days of cardio, was still pretty rough but I made it through it.

Day 66: (2-19-24)

Given that I've been a bit tight lately I'm going to integrate some yoga into my routine rather than run back to back cardio workouts. I'm thinking it will help and will allow my rest days to be rest days but without making me feel like I'm spinning my wheels.

Day 67: (2-20-24)

Day 29, of 60 days of Cardio, had a ton of lunges. Due to this I only made it to level 2 (5 sets). I want to make sure I have some legs left for work tomorrow. I'm still trying to get used to Darebee's yoga format. I can't seem to get it to flow very well. I'm used to being coached through it via the NTC videos. I'm going to keep up with it though and see it through for at least 15 days before I change something.

The project, I am on, is entering a new phase. I'll be going back home on 3-29 and a bunch of the guys I work with are leaving on 2-29. With this in mind we went out one last time. I didn't get to work out but was nice seeing the boys off.

 

[Baryl]

Day 69: (2-22-24)

I'm not really interested in meditating right now so I skipped day 3 of 30 days of yoga and did a NTC workout instead.

Day 70: (2-23-24)

One of my coworkers left today. Saying goodbye always sucks but its life in this industry. Glad I got to know him and wish him the best of luck in the future. 35 more days and I'll be home for awhile with no more work travel in sight!

Been really enjoying the Darebee Youtube presence lately. Its helping me kind of dial in what I'm doing.

Day 71: (2-24-24)

Maybe it is celebrating a bit early but I've picked my next program. I bought a kettle bell today and will be doing The Gauntlet after I finish up with 60 days of Cardio. It has always looked fun to me so I'm finally just going to try it out. I still have 28 days of 60 days of Cardio though so not like it is over any time soon.

Ran into a rattle snake on my hike today. I'm not a big fan of snakes and he wasn't a big fan of me so when he refused to leave I decided to go ahead and turnaround. It cut my hike short but so be it. Better than playing with a snake.

Day 75: (2-28-24)

I used the meditation day, for my yoga routine, and the easier 60 days of cardio workout for an active rest day. It was about time I took it a bit easier. Going to try to get to bed a bit early tonight.

[Baryl]

Day 79: (3-3-24)

Back still hurts but I can move a bit more. Went on a long walk through the city today and got some yoga in. I think its probably going to be walking and yoga only for a few days.

Day 80: (3-4-24)

@Mamatigerj @Fremen @CODawn @Deadoks Thank you. I'm giving it this week to come back out of an abundance of caution and because my work tends to be physical so I can't stay hurt or it affects my livelihood.

I took today off to see how yesterday's yoga affects me. Hopefully tomorrow will be good.

 

[Baryl]
