09 January 2025
07:00 – 1 Mile walk with Urt
No mid morning walk today, had to get ultrasound done
15:00 – 20 Mile Stationary Bike Ride 45:00
(I did the usual walks and such from the 4th of January through the 8th but I forgot to record it all here. My energy level hasn’t been great, but I have enough to at least go through the motions of exercise. No lifting however and I really want to but just can’t find the strength lately)

07:00 – 1 Mile walk with Urt
09:30 – 1.35 Mile walk with Urt
15:00 – 20 Mile Stationary Bike Ride 44:15
Notes: Everything felt pretty good today. I was thinking about lifting, but haven’t decided yet… If I do it will probably be something quick, light and repetitious. The desire is there, so is the energy but my body is in pain. I’ll have to recover from this ride and see where I’m at.

31 December 2024
06:00 – 1 Mile walk with Urt
09:30 – 1.35 Mile walk with Urt
14:00 – I opted for some lifting prior to the bike ride since my energy levels have been out of sorts lately. The workout was good, but nothing too regimented. Basic movements, Bench, Curls, Overhead Press all done quickly, with many sets and reps to failure… I’d say it was a good workout.
15:30 13.5 Mile Stationary Bike Ride 30:00
Notes: Well, last workout of this year, all went well. My energy was almost there, I’d say yes, a good energy was present in my body. Right on.

15:00 – 20 Mile Stationary Bike Ride 43:18

29 December 2024
06:30 – 1 Mile walk with Urt
09:30 – 1.77 Mile jog/walk with Urt
Notes: My vision did that strange on/off again where everything would go dark & then light again as if flipping a light switch off & on. I panicked a bit while it was happening but not as much as before. I knew enough to stop moving and try to relax so I grabbed hold of a tree and breathed deep. A man was walking by and I thought he would help me but he kept going. I’m one of those people that when others see me coming they cross to the other side of the street, so I can’t expect much help out there.
Blood Pressure: 145/84 HR 68 when I first got back home, but I was in a panic
Blood Pressure: 117/68 HR 61 after I calmed down (15 minutes later)
My energy level was great, I felt great up until the incident. Well, I’ll ride my bike this afternoon and see what happens.
15:30 – 17 Mile Stationary Bike Ride 37:33 Felt fine, no dizziness or eye trouble.
28 December 2024
07:00 – 1 Mile walk with Urt
09:00 – 1.77 Mile walk with Urt
15:00 – Lifted. I basically did sets & reps beyond my ability to count and all of them to failure. Dips, Curls, Overhead Press, using a variety of movements without much rest between sets.
15:30 – 13.5 Mile Stationary Bike Ride 30:00
Notes: Something is wrong. I’m lacking energy, I get out of breath quickly on my walks with Urt. I’m not certain if it’s related to my possible blood disorder or something else. I’m getting good rest at night. I have a strong desire to exercise but my sessions are becoming increasingly more difficult to perform at the level I’m accustomed to. I’m going to go have a protein now.

15:30 – 17.5 Mile Stationary Bike Ride 37:44
Notes: I was going to lift today, but my body is betraying me. 20 year old mind inside a 61 year old body… kinda sucks.

09:30 – 1.88 Mile walk with Urt
14:00 – 20 Mile Stationary Bike Ride 43:51 (I’m trying to recover here, since I really want to get some lifting in. I’ll sit here and wait for a rise or surge of energy to wash over me and then I’ll start right in with some lifting).
Notes: I did some lifting… mostly a couple sets with high reps on dips, bench style flyes, curls and overhead presses.

10:00 – .8 Mile walk with Urt (Urt decided to turn around & go home early)
13:00 – Stationary Bike Ride. For whatever reason I didn’t pay attention & have no idea how far or for how long I rode. It’s as if I entered a dimensional rift and re-emerged some time later. Right on.
Notes: Felt a bit off today. Like I was on the verge of euphoria or about to slip through a crack in this time & space dimension. Perhaps I did?
Blood Pressure: 115/63 HR 56 bpm
