Been On A Pretty Good Stretch.

For whatever reason I have been on a pretty good stretch for getting up at my early alarm. I am not getting a ton of sleep. A lot of 5-1/2 hour nights, but I still feel like it's time to get up, and not sleep. One thing I noticed about me yesterday was me saying I feel accomplishment when I do things around the house. That's new. That has been missing for a while. 

Yesterday the times lined up. I got out of work early. I  had time to get my workout in, and time to see a movie. "The Grudge"  it was a low budget horror film. Fine for a Wednesday afternoon. I stooped at Sam's Club,  and picked up a frozen lasagna for dinner. It was $3 more than the Stouffers brand, and it was pretty darn good. I'll get it again. Easy meal. 

I went through my stretches too, which I've been neglecting. It's so important too. I can just tell how tight I am when I stretch. I renewed the book at the library, I may just check Amazon and buy it. I can go through all the stretches in probably less than an hour. I'd like to memorize it, but it may be handy just to have it. I am a little sore again from my workout. I missed it before, but I can do pullups at my workout place. Kinda nice to get everything done there. In a pinch I can do them at home too. Pushups you can do anywhere. I am happy I got my first two workouts in this week. I am oddly excited about doing it too. 

So, I ate dinner. We watched the last episode of big little lies, and went to bed. I ran the robot too for the 3rd day in a row. It seems like such an easy thing, but you sometimes just forget. Maybe the house is messy, and you dont feel like picking shit up. Everything looks so much better when you run it though. 

A day was had. Nothing too exciting about it, but I feel good about the day. It was fine. I found out my left knee isn't bending all that great,  so Hope and I are just walking. I am fine with that too. I am getting close to just calling it a chronic thing. Not sure what you can do for a knee. I suspect you would need to see a specialist. They would probably do a range of motion test. Not sure how much you can find out without an MRI. Maybe some physical therapy can help. Do you need a referral to see a specialist? 

If it's something I can fix on my own with physical therapy or something that would be cool. Some kind of surgery seems dumb, since it isn't debilitating. It just stops me from running. Stairs are kinda a pain too if it is acting up. Honestly too, I am just not that worried about it. 

I got my fitbit annual numbers in my email yesterday. 3400 miles is what I ended up with. Biggest day was 37,000 steps. I averaged 9.31 miles per day. Actually more too, since I didn't always have the thing on. It had some stupid stat my miles equated to climbing the Eiffel tower 18,000 times.   :)   or walking 64,000 city blocks.  Obviously my knee still let's me get around. 

Not much planned today. I have a bit of cleaning to do when I get home. Work will be busy. Thursday it always is. I am going to do tacos for dinner. Its early enough I can do a lot of stretches probably after I take Hope. It is still cold out, but warms up pretty quickly. We are approaching the middle of January. We have no snow still. I am cool with that. The worst months in MI can be January,  and February.  So far so good. 

Laterzzzzzz.      :)
