Normalcy Seems To Be Returning
It just struck me that I have been writing here again after my several-month hiatus. Over that time span, my brain was just so preoccupied that I couldn’t think right.
I’m doing my WODs with more consistency and intensity. I have even sprinkled in a few double-WOD days! Lately, I have been increasing the weight again for my daily workouts. For a time, I had been sticking with non-weighted WODs or using the 25 pound dumbbells.
I have also been doing my 5/3/1 each week for the most part. That’s been feeling great, and this last cycle has been a heavy one. I’m off schedule a little right now because I prioritized us getting out for a hike, which is something else we haven’t done in a while. The lifts have felt great, and if anything, I feel like I’ve gotten a bit stronger.
Speaking of outside, I have been getting a little more vitamin D on these nice days while sitting outside in the sun. Over the summer, I just wasn’t in the mood for that. It reminded me too much of certain things that I had and things that I missed out on, so I just didn’t really want to be outside.
My mood and mind have just been a lot more stable lately. It’s been more like one day at a time rather than one minute or hour at a time with the wild emotional swings.
The only thing I feel that I have left to do now is stop eating like such an asshole. I think I am just about ready to do that, too. It’s fine to do that sometimes, but I’ve been eating too much junk for too long and too often.
