Incredible day yesterday. Tiring. Met with contractor rebuilding my carport and shed in Murfreesboro in the morning, MRI/MRCP scan, then followup, then a meeting with a cardiologist, then taught a 90 min lesson and it was still daylight, so I ran the stadium stairs 15x. I hadn't eaten in 24 hrs and going on just 2 cups of coffee.
Stadium stairs - MTSU
stretches, drills
15 x stadium stairs
It was hard and my knee felt it this morning. Third day in a row with some hard exercise. I'm just doing resistance today. I even thought about fasting last night, that would have quickly taken the last of my body fat but I ate the usual low carb stew and wasa crackers for a dessert.
Hanging about 141.5 lbs, happy with the progress.
Doing this regime every morning:
- 20 to 25 hanging abs
- 20 pullups
- 35 pushups
- 20 to 25 ab wheels
Medical:
I haven't gotten the report on the MRCP scan. The NP that looked at it with me said it seemed unchanged and non threatening, cysts mostly liquid, but would contact me if the report says otherwise. Plan is surveillance. Another scan in a yr.
Cardiologist basically blew me off. Said I don't need statins and that was basically it. He said my lipid particle fractionation tests that were all in the higher risk area didn't correlate to anything clinical in the absence of symptoms. He would prescribe a CT angiogram. We ended up chatting about 400m training as his son is a 51 sec HS 400m sprinter. Oh well.
I booked an MRI for my knee to assess the issues. Unless there's a clear and fixable problem, perhaps like a floating piece of broken cartilage, I probably won't do anything. However, good to get an image and report in case I want to pursue some sort of a revision in the future.
Wasa cracker w/ fig preserves and pistachios - dessert with tea. About 80 cal. (about 50 cal without the nuts). I ate way too much today, no progress today.
Total bonehead thing. Screwed up my mtn bike rear brakes trying to adjust them. Probably a $60 mistake as I'll need to take it in tomorrow.
