Good news, bad news since the last post...
Good news! Chain remains unbroken. Twenty-six days and counting. Rog gave me a bodyweight workout this week that I can use during my wrist rehab. I did it this morning and wow! Kicked my ass quite literally. Since I haven't done any real work other than walking for the last month, I lost some of my fitness. Fortunately, my strength seems to be ok but my wind is lacking. This workout targets the lower body, mostly the glutes, and I need it. I could tell that I have a deficit in my left glute because it doesn't fire as hard as the right. I could feel the side glute firing during the monster walks so this will be good for my lateral stability. A win all around.
Bad news! My sleep is getting bad again. I've been waking up at 3 am every morning since Monday. Last night I woke up at 1:30 am. I got back to sleep eventually but I drag during the day and am exhausted at night. Eating the bulk of my carbs at night doesn't seem to be helping. I think my situation is that no matter when I eat my carbs being low carb for more than two weeks eventually drains my serotonin level. The extra supplements keep it from happening faster but don't keep it from happening at all. I think I'm going to need another carb break soon so I'll ask Rog about doing it on Sunday. If I do it right I can negotiate the party and get a adequate dose of carbs for the next couple of weeks.
In other kind of bad news, the car went into the shop on Tuesday and our epic fail mechanic has not fixed the problem yet. I won't go into details. It has me pissed off enough as it is. It's supposed to get done today so that I can get to my PT appointment but I'm not hopeful. My wrist is feeling better but I need to get back to PT to finish the job. If I miss today, that will be three weeks in a row that I've missed PT. And nobody heals that way.
