Did my first solo Hyrox competition today. If you want to learn about the race, here's a short video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN-n8t8d2bA Anyways. It was hard. My inner b*tch was extra loud today. "Who's going to notice if you just quit?" "This is just a warm-up for Bangkok's race, you don't need to go that hard." "Your cramps are only going to get worse" Typical stuff that goes on in one's brain when going through shit 💩 But we've been here before. We've been deep in the trenches. We do hard things on the regular. I've kept enough promises to myself during tough times, so this time it wasn't any different. This is default now. Endure. One step in front of the other. Exercise what my body is capable of. What a gift! I finished in 1 hr 20 min with no injuries... win! 41st in my age group (35-39 yrs) Onto the next one! #dohardthings

A month with many diferent emotions. A Roller coaster.. But I need to evaluate and adjust. Weight: wonder if it is a platau.. or just not enough effort to cut down on calories. I think it is the latter but the reason? Well I was stress eating after I had been to the doctor. I eat when too tired, to gain energy to go on, when thinking too much! Nothing unusual but a little too much now.. As I said, the Roller coaster of emotions has been playing with my head this month. I have to adjust my calorie intake now and think even more about what I actually eat in a day. Back to the spread sheet calculating with my new weight in mind! Current weight: 93,9 kg Training: I have been walking every weekend, despite the weather and when weather has alowed it. A win! The longest route: 12,8 km. I have been to the public swimming pool once a week, swimming 500 - 600 m, enjoying both the turkish and the regular sauna. Good for my joints! Thursday, I even did pull ups, in the water, at the starting podium (??), every fourth swimming length. I have also been to the gym twice, lifting light weights and using the mashines. It was nice to get started! And before quitting last time, I did dead hang 2×20 sec!! But the best with that gym? It has a sauna 🫠 Medicine.. yep, I now take medicine before going to bed, to help me with the nerv pain and I sleep better. Mayby I'm just even more consistent going to bed in time.. But.. A clear win! One side effect of the medicine is gaining weight so I have to watch out for that one. The high blood presure is back too so medicine for that means less headache and also better sleep. But I know that if I get more movement in I can get rid of that and the blood presure stabilice on its own. The biggest win now: the spring is coming and I can and want to be outside more!
