Longest run Iāve done this month and a PR to boot!! Iāll take it!! My legs are a bit shaky but they feel decent. Thatās progress in itself. Normally with long runs my hip flexor likes to complain but not today!!

Today I set a PR for speed. Feels good! My running goal is simple: run most mornings (there are some mornings off, but I run 4-6 days a week) to get the blood flowing at the start of the day. Today felt great!

Out of the gym for 10 weeks after my spinal shortening and fusion.
Just wrapped up week 6 back in the gym, 2nd week back to freeweights (1st month back had to be machines only). I was SO weak when I headed back in. Not just from not exercising for 2.5 months, but it was a reminder just how disrupted my body was/is on a neurological level from the procedure. Also needed to relearn/reestablish that mind:muscle connection. The neat thing was I could feel my muscles working better now that my spinal cord is released and muscles are activating properly.
My abdominal wall is still a mess and not working from the nerve disruption, but Iām hammering my lower abdomen and flanks to get that back to how it should be.
Day 1 back in the gym vs today at the end of week 6 back at it.
Itās coming back. Slowly but surely. Iāve upped calories by 500-700 more per day, fuck yeah eating.

Despite illness and mental health challenges, Iāve managed to keep up the daily July challenge and weekly death by burpee challenge.
Still 1 day to go but it feels so good to stick it out to the end. I managed 78 burpees today!
Iām feeling so much stronger as well and I think my skipping is helping me finally get some calf muscles lol

Damn. Hope you heal up quick. Good on you for still getting in and doing anything you can. 
Day 448. Vacation is over. Iām back to the work , kidās sports, and workout routine. 8 week cut starts now. Weighed in at 205 this morning. Goal is a 12 lb shred to 193 by the end. Time to deal with headaches for a few days while my body adjusts to half my ordinary calorie intake. Letās get it!!!

Thanks. Baby steps.
My traps and shoulders vanished, but that will all come back, like everything else. I know Iāll put in the work, so I know Iāll get the results. I just keep telling myself that getting this surgery means I can absolutely get back to how I was, and then blow that out of the water and be even better.
