Hey! It's Vampironica: New Blood Issue #4

[fiftytwotwentythree]

Wellness Wednesday:

Better, Warmer, Closer

Last week I reported I was sick, and today... I would say I am still not 100% - I say, I am 85%.

I still need the use of cough drops, still blowing my nose multiple times a day, and still have sinus pressure.

But, none of that has prevented me from forging on.

I up'd the ante in my workout routine by increasing the sets/reps and adding squats back into the rotation.

Now, with my previous workouts I was getting my sweat on - but - with this new regiment I am sweating buckets - I am sweating from pores that I didn't even know were active.

Increasing the sets/reps and adding squats have also reintroduced the classic muscle burn - something I haven't felt since January.

I was also leery of adding squats back into the mix as they were often paired with knee pain, but I took the risk of adding squats back since I've lost over 80 pounds - so far - with the reduced weight, I have no current indications of knee pain.

Hoping I can keep trucking and feel fully recouped of illness by the weekend.

Closing Thoughts:

The Good:

Been getting workouts done during regular hours which has been improving my sleep - or - the previous lack thereof.

Appetite has increased since my recent illness, and yet my weight has maintained from last week.

Put a massive dent into my student loans before interest start accruing back. Hope to have them fully paid off before the end of the year.

The Bad:

Still stuffy. Waiting on my head to clear.

The Ugly:

Nothing worst than my head-cold this week - so, not too bad.

[the-evisceration-station]

Vampironica: New Blood is such a trip. I’m still cracking up over her vampire ancestor’s backstory.

Dude’s crew tried to slay him when they found out he was a vampire and threw him overboard, but a shark showed up and its blood strengthened him enough so he could swim along to what would eventually be Riverdale.

I can’t tell if it’s ridiculous or brilliant— no, wait, it’s definitely both.
