Had another good week of strength-training exercises. Had some minor improvements, but nothing major.

Saw my PCP yesterday. My lab work numbers are great and he fully supports my workout routine (he was taking notes on April and Aiko) AND he’s still on board with me taking a compound version of Tirzepatide. He’s happy and I’m happy, for now. We’re on track for my 20-year health plan.

I’ve lost 5 lbs since I last saw him but I gained 0.9 lbs of muscle (according to my body scan app) from the workouts and that’s what’s important right now. I can feel the difference. Lucky me.

:bow:

Orema, that's great! Solid progress in health goals for sure.


I rowed in a crew race today. We first met at our boat house and carried out the boats and oars and then rowed to the boat house that was hosting the races.

It was a really fun setup with 6 local rowing teams. It's called the hat race because all of our names go into hats and then names are drawn to fill the boats. We had 6- 8 person boats and 4- 4 person boats and 4 singles. So you no longer are rowing with your team or in your home boat. You're rowing with mostly strangers and in different boats. I was glad to land in an all women boat.

The race is super low key - race but not like super competitive racing. Racing for fun. We did three races, hung out, and then my team rowed our boats back to our boat house.

I'm pooped and I have a good sunburn but I have zero regrets. It was really fun.
