8.5.2021 - Update on Progress

I stopped the daily weigh-ins because the scale wasn't moving. Some of that may be because of the irregularity and getting backed up.

Progress on the bench press. I was able to do a single rep at 155 fairly easily and without a spotter, so there is some recovery on that lift. My best lift ever on that was 215. 

The rows are getting better. I still poop out fairly easily, but I'm stronger overall with better endurance. Need to do more lat pulldowns and similar movements.

I tried back squatting a few days ago and it didn't go well. And even doing just a few reps with very little weight took my legs out of action for 3 days. 

I seem to be doing 3 days on and then 3 days rest for the most part, and I think that's working. Have to remember I'm older now.

Blood Glucose is inching down. My use of Trulicity has been interrupted by insurance issues, but I should be back on that in the next few days. My range seems to be about 190 at night and then spiking up to 270-280 during the day. But it was a bit lower a week ago when the Trulicity was still in effect.

Appetite is much less than normal. I'm getting tired of eating, which must be because of the meds, or one of them. Blood sugar has gone up about 20 pts after eating. Maybe the granola and blueberries?
