One week closer to the… start?

I need to change how I’m collecting my stats. Right now they are attached to each post. I want them to be collected without having to make a post. Ideally, I would just like to be able to pull the stats from fitbit directly.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’ll figure something out.

So you see the pic, yeah? I totally forgot I had an appointment this week. My back is pretty much… good to go. At least enough to get started slowly, but I look at the calendar yesterday `skin cancer removal: 7:15 am` I’ve had so many spots removed over the years, it’s not too much of a big deal anymore, but the shit is sore. And the ones on my head tend to give me a nice headache or two for a bit of time afterwards.

There will be no jumping around this week. My head throbs even with me standing still.

That said. Wear sunscreen. Fear the sun.

Cardio : Day 0 – Lateral Treadmill

Boredom. It is ridiculously boring to just tread on the treadmill. Even if I watch a movie on the iPad while I’m doing it, it just does my head in. I’d much rather sit and code. Too bad I am not coordinated enough to have a standing desk. I don’t think I could sit there and do my work while walking on a (regular) treadmill. I’ve created a stats page to graph my weight, bodyfat, and bmi. I still have a bit of work to do on it, but for now it works.

Day 0, because I’m going to start this shit all over again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m just about ready. I think

My back is just on the edge of being ok. To where I’m not in pain if I turn this way or that. I plan on hitting it up again this upcoming Monday.

In the meantime I’m trying to get a handle on my lack of sleep. You can see by the image above that I’m not getting that much enough sleep.

There are two settings on my fitbit for sleep. Sensitive & Normal. Sensitive is off the charts for me. It actually looks even worse. I know I don’t sleep much, and that won’t fare well for trying to get back into shape. Maybe I can try napping during the day or something. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It never fails

I swear it never fails. Every fucking time I attempt to get off my ass and get back into it, I end up doing something that throws a wrench into things.

I’ve had back issues for years. It all stems from an accident I had well over 10+ years ago. Side to side it’s straight, but from front to back my curve is incorrect, and because of that, it really doesn’t take much to throw things out of whack. It can be as simple as a turn to the side or picking something up regardless of how light or heavy it is.

I’ve been told to stretch out my hamstrings, and doing so would release some of the pressure on my spine. I really need to get into the habit of stretching them daily.

Until I can get it sorted I guess I’ll try to do what I can by hitting up the treadmill. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

P90X3 : Day 3 – X3 Yoga

Fucking yoga, my nemesis! TBH, the older I get the more accepting I’ve become of yoga. I used to loathe the 1.5 hour long sessions of yoga in P90X. Absolutely fucking hated them. I think, around my 3rd round of P90X, I started to not hate it as much. It’s tolerable, and I can definitely handle 30 minutes of it.

P90X3 : Day 2 – Agility X

This one wasn’t too bad, although I do have to make a bit more room in the area that I am working out. One of the requirements is tape on the ground. I did not have any, but I sure as hell will next time. I felt uncoordinated as shit trying to do some of the exercises. Even a shitty workout is better than sitting on the couch ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
