I continue to feel good and I am amazed by that. Amazed and very happy. After months of daily pain, either my hands and wrists are really feeling better or I've learned to live with it with the help of Motrin (I suspect the latter). I finally am having the EMG tomorrow which will tell me if I have carpal tunnel syndrome or not. And I have an appointment Thursday morning with a hand specialist so I hope to have an answer as to what is going on and whether anything can be done about it.
So now I'm training through the pain, which is less but still there, and I'm pushing myself a little bit harder because I'm tired of feeling like I'm not making much progress. Today's workout was good. The rack pulls finally feel comfortable at the weight level I've been doing and I'm increasing reps at the bottom of the reverse pyramid. I'm working harder on my hip thrusts, using 40 lbs for 12 reps on all 4 sets today. My core feels so much stronger. I did the elevated planks on the ball with my feet narrowly apart and it was tough but solid.
I'm so looking forward to what Rog has in store for me next week.
My diet is good. I'm sleeping pretty well so far and don't feel depleted or deprived. Hungry, yes, but managable. My goal is to stay consistent and only take a break on Chistmas Day. Thank goodness I work from home now and don't have to deal with all the office parties and treats sitting out.
