Hey, thanks, all!
Yep, I take a cal/mag/zinc supplement, as well as a multivitamin and fish oil caps. I'm like an old lady taking all of this crap!
Today was supposed to be a workout day but I'm still exhausted so I said screw it and did a few hours of gardening & went on a 2-hour hike around our property (about 24 acres). We're scoping out a new location for another house (because idiot neighbor's idiot son moved in with him and dragged a trailer right up next to the property line. Can't see them but can hear them when they're outside now. Not cool.) more centered on our property to keep away idiots on all sides. Anyway, we hiked clear up to the ridge and walked the ridgeline, then back down a gully wash area. Freaking gorgeous! And the views from the ridge are incredible -- can see the mountains on either side of us, as well as the valleys between us and them. Wow.
Got a little carried away there. Anyway...
I'm still working on re-upping my cals and am somewhat successful. I do love and look forward to both the hill sprints (HIIT) and the longer, slow run that I just added back in once or twice a week so I don't want to give them up, even temporarily. They're great stress relievers and very enjoyable for me. Even if they did nothing for fitness, I'd still do them both. Same for the lifting. So, I'll not be giving any of them up but I might have to try holding back a bit for a while, maybe even taking the lifting down to twice a week instead of thrice.
I think I'll give up housework. That should help.
Oh, bands for assisted chins... Nope, all I have are el cheapo tubes and that type of thing. On a good day, I can do most of one chin without any assistance but pull ups are a different story. Mainly, I just do what I can for my sort-of one, then move on to either negatives or, lately, the squat rack/Swiss ball set up. Frankly, I'm freaking impressed that I can do even close to a real one being near 200 pounds. LOL
