Day 889-895

Here's another week of workouts and food.

So the week started with the gym.  I know, shock right?  I did back and biceps and it felt good.  I think I'm back to a routine, at least I hope so.  The rest of the week was walking, kettle bell, and then a full body workout that Lorinda wrote up for me last time we met.  I will say I got a bit sweaty doing the kettle bell and then the full body workout.  Again felt good.

Food was better as I did a chicken burrito every day for lunch.  Home made so none of that restaurant stuff except for one day when work bought lunch.  That day I only ate half of the giant burrito but then had chips and salsa, of course.  I saved the other half for lunch the next day. Breakfast was a frittata as usual and my regular 20oz of cold water.  Dinner was protein smoothies a couple of nights and then more chicken burrito from home made fix-in's.  As the week progressed the food choices got more radical, not in a good way.  It is what it is.

After all that I still weighed in at 234lbs.

So I'm getting back to working out and not making excuses.  My hearing is no longer an issue or at least it's not allowing me to ignore the need for exercise.

No place to go but up and I plan on keeping it that way.

Day 882-888

So not being able to hear is not fun.  Of course my hearing wasn't completely gone but it was bad enough that at work I was saying "what" a lot.  And asking people to repeat themselves quite often.  By Thurs I felt it actually was getting worse so off to the doctor I went.  He prescribed another round of antibiotics and ear drops.  The good news is that the antibiotics seemed to make a difference.  By the next afternoon my left ear ( the first to shut down) opened up and I could hear much better.  Still not 100% but at least I could turn my "good" ear towards a person and actually understand what they were saying.

Gained a couple of pounds but still at 234 so nothing drastic.

During the week food was fairly normal.  Breakfast was the usual frittata and 20oz of cold water during the week and on the weekend oatmeal with blue berries and bran cereal.  Lunch was ground turkey tacos (homemade) for the work week and Italian leftovers from going out the nite before.  The weekend again was different with turkey sandwich one day and steak sandwich the other.  Dinner was all over the place with one night just bran cereal with Greek yogurt to sushi and Italian and pizza.

Workouts: walking, stretching, and then training with Lorinda on Sat.  I was not feeling the workout jive and so skipped gym time.  I will have to get back to it once I feel better, that is once the hearing decides to work like it's supposed to.  Of course since it's started coming back I think it's a sign to get my ass back into the gym.  I will heed the call!
