Been feeling sick and have not been sleeping well, but I have not missed a session in the last 2 months (apart from surgery week).  SO yay.

Done with the rehab routine going to start switching back over to 5/3/1 over the next 2 weeks.

Bleurgh, low-grade colds suck.  Squats felt good, that SSB bar is amazing.

Yesterday I squatted 190# for 3, which was really nice.

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, my A1C (blood sugar indicator measured for diagnosing type 2 diabetes) went from 9.0 (dangerously high) to 5.7 (the upper limit of "normal") in 3 months!  All the low carb/fasting bullcrap actually worked!

 

Awesome!!

deadlift and overhead press testing went well blah blah unimpressive numbers.

 

Finally back on "proper" training.

I am very relieved that all the hard work is paying off, I'm having a relatively easy time maintaining the lost weight and I feel like my energy levels are stable.  Now I just gotta keep drilling it into my head that I gotta maintain all the changes and make them my new normal so I do not go back to being a sick piece of shit all the time.

The form for the windshield wipers and GHR shall be described as "rustic".  Yeah, that's a good word.  It'll come along soon enough.

Good workout despite hectic and stressful work day.  This virus is shutting things down pretty fast in my quiet corner of the world.

Ahh the wonders of spring.  Snow is melting, birds are singing, the dog is eating freshly thawed turds and dead rodents.... Country life!
The little shit muncher was up puking most of the night, so I did not have the best night sleep.

I lost a few training days due to some workplace issues around getting laid off and my department getting temporarily shut down.  Oh well, plenty of time now.
