Took a hiatus from blogging!

Wow - life just got away from me for the last - almost 3 - months!!

As you can see, my last post prior to today was March 18th. A lot has happened since then!!

First off, I have stopped the “pseudo” Whole-30 diet I was pursuing from Jan-Mar… don’t get me wrong, I’m still eating healthy, but not avoiding carbs as much. I think my best carry-over is that I’m not eating deserts at night prior to bed. Apparently, that was a major problem for my gut in the past. Now if I’m hungry at night, which is pretty much ALWAYS, I have a bowl of cereal instead of ice cream - usually a mix of regular and honey-nut cheerios, or Ancient Grains, or Morning Summit, mixed with blueberries, strawberries, and/or bananas. Plus I go with a half-half mix of 1% organic milk and Califia toasted coconut milk (just swapped the coconut milk for pistachio milk - pretty good!)
- Oh, one other carry-over is that Marlene and I are both generally eating Ezekiel bread instead of regular bread - my photo at top (from my June 9th breakfast) is the Flax-seed Ezekiel bread with Avocado/olive oil on one, and natural PB on the other…

Secondly, and something that is greatly affecting my workouts, is that I introduced a major right arm tendonitis (tennis elbow) from jumping back into my workouts a bit too aggressively in March! UGH! This has now been plaguing me for 3 months and has shut down my desire to work out… Combine that with continuing to work outside building hardscapes and using my arm / hands, and I have created a recipe for a chronic problem here…

But yesterday I decided to get back into it, doing legs and only pushing movements. Can’t pull at all, as my right hand grip is basically negligible. I am going to sign back up for Guerrilla Fitness also - Need someone to push me!

Oh, and another factor in having NO TIME to blog - we closed on a rental property in Steamboat Springs, CO! Lots of leg-work for this project, for sure! The purchase process alone took over our lives, then I had to head out there a few weeks ago to get the place ready for short term rentals… I’ll post our listing once it’s up.

So I am hoping I can get back on here at a regular interval… fingers crossed!
