Yesterday, did my stretching, core work and balance work.
Stretching, still not as limber as before yet able to push it without killing myself, my hammies seem to be th worst, yet coming in.
Core, crunches which i could do a million of, still rough, was better and able to up reps by 50% yet not as many sets as desired.
Since the neuropathy, and going way back always tried to work on balance as you know it is an old age thing and thus my hope is to maintain or get better......was actually a good day and able to push it, only issue is my legs are off balance, right side is good side left is just a mess, and is hard to get better.
Well well well, interesting development.
Worked my maid job yesterday and I was zip zip zip, lotsa zip and energy.....first time in a long time mental aquity, mindset was better.
Got home took my meds, and 8 pm noticed, probably for first time in forever besides lil tingling in fingers my neuroathy was below my kneecaps quite a bit and my feet while not devoid were alot better.
Thus it got me thinking if I messed up.
Now the reminder is I have had 5 surgeries on my midsection over 3 years.
4 for my colon issues, and 1 for a hernia, the last one.
So, every time had my colong surgery from the same doc got the same speech, watch out for surgery.
As it turns out ended up meeting the medical products guy who supplied stuff to my surgeon, and he had been in many surgeries, he told me what they do is Seperate the Adbomen muscles with gadgets to get at colon and thus that is why the caution of hernia.
I ended up getting my hernia doing a moving job.
Hernia surgeon was a different guy who knew my surgeon and history and he was like I would get it all back in 2-3 months.
Obviously I didn't and was quite shocked, while it was normal for me to do leg lifts for 40-60 seconds for multiple sets, 3 months later doing both legs for 5-10 seconds was a major red flag something felt really wrong, and thus I guess I ended up trending less and less from lifting and more towards cardio.
And then came my October 2022 of massive neuropathy attack, traveling up quads tingling in arms, which honestly totally freaked me out.
Now this happened on light dosage of meds because the meds are pain killers and depression pills.
Well the only way to combat it without goin mentally nuts, was to takes all fulls dosages 3 times a day.
At that point I did , and while things were better still had some up and down days with this fall seeming like it got worse.
During whole time kept up with cardio.
I had told myself to lift more last 7 months and just couldn't get up the ooomph, first time in my lifting life of 47 years.
Well febuary was Hell or High Water Time and since one of my favorite quotes is:
Habit is a Cable We Weave a Thread of it Every Day Until it becomes Unbreakable
My old habit was:
Wake up, coffee, mirror and scale check, write out days plan, which aligns with weekly and monthly, ie goals.
Workout, log workout, and had been paper whole life and moved to board in 2011.
Then on with the day.
We are closer.
FWIW, been hungry hungry hungry, ate more in last two days then awhile.
So 6 days workouts, today day off, had to force myself, because had enough pepe wanted to do cardio..
Tomorrow, bi's tri's back attack.
