I'm Back

Kettlebell Work
All of these movements were supposed to be performed every minute, on the minute. I stuck to it as much as I could, but had to take more rest towards the end. SO I just made sure to keep track of the actual reps as well so I could keep each side balanced. My conditioning is not where it should be.

20lb KB Strict Press x10 each side
20lb KB Row x20 each side
20lb KB Goblet Reverse Lunge x12 each side
20lb Swing x40

35lb KB Push Press x10 each side
35lb KB Row x15 each side
35lb Goblet Reverse Lunge x10 each side
35lb Swing x35

55lb KB Double-Handed Push Press x10
55lb KB Row x7 each side
55lb KB Goblet Reverse Lunge x5 each side, 2x
55lb KB Swing x20

It's been about 2 weeks since I've worked out. The major takeaway from today was that my core is WEAK! It was hell trying to hold that 55lb bell during the lunges. 
 I finally went to the doctor to have these hormonal issues addressed. She put me on an HRT and while I've seen the hot flashes ease up a tiny bit, I still fill like shit most of the time - no sleep, hot flashes that come and go, no energy (seriously, zero energy), weight gain. Plus let's add trigger thumb in both thumbs now that just makes them ache all day. But, whatever. What am I going to do? I guess just try to work harder, although I'm not sure how I can. The weather has been warmer though so I was able to work out in the garden yesterday and I turned the whole thing by hand. That was some good exercise and it felt good to get it accomplished. 
So no land speed records today, no heavy PR's. Just some tried and true kettlebell work.
