I'm Doing Something Right

(As usual, this progress update will discuss weight, body fat percentage, diet, etc)

Last month, my InBody scan showed I'd lost weight, but it was mostly muscle. So for the last month, I've changed my approach. I stopped using Noom, which was starting to feel tedious. I let myself indulge. I enjoyed two Passover seders without a concern in the world. I added snacks back into my daily habits, ate Passover leftovers (including cake every night) and basically ate however I wanted. I tried to prioritize protein, but I didn't actually track it. My lower back was hurting so I skipped a few runs and workouts. 

And somehow, the  numbers on my InBody scan were...good.

Lake Twenty Two Trail

I had Thursday and Friday off work last week, so for once we planned ahead! When I told a few friends we were hiking the "Lake Twenty Two Trail", I was surprised by how many people said it was their favorite. I expected such a generically named trail to be relatively unknown and unremarkable. 

I was wrong!

Time Does Fly

I got a massage this week. It's been awhile since I've gotten one and my lower back and right IT band have been nagging me for weeks. I finally figured out it's my shoes—time for a new pair—and decided a massage was in order.

A colleague recommended the place I went and it was excellent. On my intake form, I always note my bilateral fasciotomies as a past injury, and it never fails that the massage therapist wants to know about it. I mean, they know so much about muscle and fascia, I understand the intrigue! 

Anyway, after I finished telling her about my CECS and fasciotomies, she asked when all that was. I said, "2017" and she said, "Wow, you're almost at 10 years!"

Cherry Creek Falls Trail

This has been a rainy early-spring, but last weekend we got lucky with sun on a Saturday when Matt wasn't working. That's a rare occurrence these days, so we took advantage of the weather and found a near-ish hike with a good waterfall at the end.
