Ensuring I have enough carbs before and readily available for my exercise has been HUGE. I actually feel really good right after exercise now. I can go much harder too!! (Maybe the creatine isn't helping there but it helps with my DOMS still.)

I started using a CGM to try to figure out what and how I need to eat because the "logical" thing wasn't working. First thing I noticed is I'm driving huge spikes down days I do my cardio, like truly hypoglycemic. Figure out I need to supplement while I exercise...

if anyone has stuff uploaded on imgur, i would recommend backing all of your images up somewhere else. The site has shut down image uploading in many non-US countries for months now and seems to be inevitably going under.

From learning how to "refurbish" VX switches I've come to recognize how fragile these things are like actually... Leaving heavy stuff on buttons can wear the switch down, banging the buttons, etc. the inner spring and metal pieces can break and the contacts wear down

My first day was largely learning flow! It was a flow. I still don't know exactly what I'm doing in some ways. But it'll be fine

I hurt my back and wrist at work again so I started incorporating low impact strengthening exercises instead of the hypertrophy standard ones, and I think I'll be mixing those in more. I feel like it's helping me with balance and endurance (including on the bike) more than hypertrophy alone

I listened to Gr*mes when she was indie and before the whole muskrat situation and I still kinda like her music, but damn I feel like I have to explain myself if it ever comes up

As I've ramped up my cardio capability, I've had some difficulty with muscles keeping up with both the cardio and strength training.
Fine. I give in. I'll try it.

Also mad I think I have some de quervains tensovynitis in my left thumb which is ridiculous, I think it's from work. This is exactly why I need to graduate and get out of this job that wears down bodies so hard

I was getting a bit mired in one of the doctoral assignments due this weekend until I dreamt of it, and my dream actually helped with the understanding and direction of the assignment.
I am both amused and mad about this incursion into my dream space.

Trying to get into more espresso stuff since I've decided some coffee is indeed good. A true shot of espresso is still a bit too strong but cortado is nice
