Synergy... 29 or so?

Synergy 40. That's what I was facing down on the schedule today. First time doing it. It's also the first workout I've run into on the schedule that didn't have the chair as part of the workout, so I knew it was gonna be tough.

Rewinding a bit. I had dialysis this morning and slept until almost 7:00pm when I got home. What can I say? The Saturday sessions wipe me out. They always have. Marissa went to be shortly after I got up as she has to be at work at 5:30 in the morning. I hate that I can't work. I hate no being able to support my family. I hate being sick. I hate being disabled. Rant over,
I made me dinner/breakfast a little while after Marissa went to bed.  Cheese Omelette, bacon, some popcorn chicken, and a handful of potato chips. Don't groan. I've eaten worse this week.Anyway, I sat down with my dinner and killed time watching Star Wars Rebels, which is a surprisingly good show despite my initial misgivings.
Eventually, I looked at the clock, and it was after 10:00pm. Time to start moving.
I gathered the items I would need for my workout, stood up to move and did a quick physical assessment:

  • Muscles a little weak and sore.
  • Back stiff from too much sleep.
  • Knee still sore from fall.
  • left wrist feels like I've pulled/twisted/ripped something in it.
... And into Synergy 40 I plunged. I won't lie here. It did not go well. My legs were screaming. I spent a lot of time in Safety Zone and completely missed a couple of sections of the workout... but I did it. And I made it to the end. It was grueling, but I made it. I guess the real test is to come...

We'll see how I'm feeling in the morning.
