Journey to Dorito Body pt 9

3/3/24

(I'm adding the date to these now cuz Tumblr doesn't and my memory's shit so I dont remember when I did the last one)

I took a rest day (I think it was only one) and I planning on taking the weekend off cuz it da weekend. That's for relaxing. But I stricken with anxiety and so I went to workout to make the voices in my head stupid up so maybe I can sleep.

And I gotta say...it worked. I'm still anxious about the thing but now I'm physically too tired to care. How am I supposed to give a single fuck about your concerns, Brain, when my muscles are doing the ow? Checkmate, IDIOT!

Anyway the workout itself was a bit disappointing. I didn't go down in weight (for I refuse) but I didn't do as much or go as long. I'm doing that thing...pacing myself, I think it's called.

Other than that the only thing of note is that I'm trying more leg workouts to continue my trail run of "Maybe exercise will make my joints suck less ass" and I tried active stretching today (stretching while actively holding yourself up) and turns out--and this is wild, hold on to your butts--stretching joints that are naturally too loose...makes them looser!

I know fucking wild idea! Wish I had thought that BEFORE I did it so I wouldn't have to deal with my knees buckling left right and center during my post gym walk. Bout half way thru I just started stilting it (aka walking with my knees mostly locked and just waddling like a penguin).

Muscle check!

Yeah they're still there and smol but baby steps will climb a mountain and baby steps will get me the Dortio bode I deserve!

Also peep my pump cover

This made my waddle around the block ironic.

The old Dark Empire comics where Palpatine returns and Luke becomes his apprentice for a hot minute are melodramatic and silly but I'm still fond of them. Palps dresses Luke like Vader minus the headgear and chest box and makes him replace his prosthetic with what I dearly like to think is a spare Vader hand much too large for him, and that he keeps using for way too long afterwards.

Ok first of all wow I'm sorry it took me 10 business days to respond to this. My deepest apologies, it will probably happen again.

Second of all holy shit? Like like, hold on just one hot second. This is beautiful. This is the exact kind of ridiculous tomfoolery hiding deeply fucked up implications that I love in my Star Wars. How have I never heard of this before?

I am loving the knock off RoTJ poster here. This is glorious.

#i keep thinking about the vader hand too #if it was a vader hand i wonder if it was just a spare or one that vader actually used #because it being one vader actually used would be such a palpatine thing to do #hey have i told yall about my little hc about prosthetics carrying over muscle memory and chronic pain? #so luke using an old vader hand would be very much ouch

hi not to vent again but you ever been so overwhelmingly injured that you actually feel like crying

#(tl;dr: ouch oof owie my bones) #sorry for venting here again i dont really have anyone to tell this to i dont wanna be whiney #but hghghghghhh #turns out the possible broken foot was the least of my problems #yknow how sometimes after you get multiple injuries you hyperfocus on one and dont realize the severity of others? yeah #i DEFINATELY sprained my right hip. #hurts when i move my leg. cant put any weight on it or it just buckles. my muscles spasm and my knee buckles down #both my knees hurt. or rather the ends of my femurs. it feels like i crushed the tips of both femurs #my toe(??) still hurts but i cant bother to focus on it anymore #my elbows hurt too. like ends of my upper arm bones #everything fucking hurts i can barely walk i want to cry everytime i move my bones itch like when theyre broken #i see no purpose going to the hospital. theyd just give me xrays and do nothing but keep me for 10 hours in the waiting room #i know they wont help. hell theyll probably laugh at me as usual. its just not worth it #but everytime i move i want to fucking cry. i need to complain a bit ig #sorry ignore this im just ventibg #vent #personal #and its frustrating bc im USED to this. i get injured SO often. i should be dealing with thisbetter. but rn its just too much #i have a developed high pain tolerance but this is just. too much. i cant focus on ignoring one thing bc multiple others hurt

[nerice]

#ive figured out that keeping a heat pack on my wrist helps with typing which is in line with rsi being in part a circulation problem #muscles etc cold > have to work harder > more and faster ouch #elia txts #im feeling well enough that my demons are whispering to me i should try to draw but i MUST STAY STRONG. I WILL

Journey to Dorito Body pt 3

Guess who couldn't sleep and decided to work out instead. This guy!

It was nice work out and now I'm a bit tired so I think I'll be able to sleep tonight after all.

I did more research into the proper form and other exercises that can help build you up to doing pull-ups. Turns out when doing lats pull downs you should lean back until your abs are engaged then pull the bar to your chest. That's the proper form to train for pull-ups.

I found I could up in weight that way so that feels nice but I'm noticing that the weak link in this really is my arms. My back and shoulders are WAY stronger than my arms so I did curls and other torturous things with dumbells too.

I also started doing assisted hangs. Basically step 1 for getting to your pull-up just holding the proper form (shoulders down and back) and fuck does it hurt your hands! Yeah ouch my muscles but my hands are the thing that had me tap out. Mind you I have no calluses. Soft and weak little baby hands. I even wear workout gloves to hopefully last longer and I did but not by much. So I guess my hands are gonna get swol too during this journey.

Look at my lil baby muscles! You can't even tell I'm flexing! This will not stand. I will be strong like bear in forest!

#Journey to Dorito Body #dont know why i have used that as a tag yet #also starting to number these at pt 3 #fitness journey #fitness journal #my hands hurt #ouch my muscles #curls are torture and unlawful #someone send me to jail for crimes against myself

[void-thegod]

i have strained the same muscle in both arms.

i only seem to pull muscles when i sleep. rarely when im actually doing something.

maybe bc im so relaxed. either way: fuck

#ouch #ow #owwie #muscles #strained #sleepy #eepy #i lay with my arms above my head #i sleep on my stomach like that #and sometimes the muscles in my deltoids just #move?? ig #idk #hurts like a mf #and i have a hurt spot in my neck #been like this since i was a kid #pulling muscles in my sleep #i move a lot when i sleep #but i think it is bc i am actually relaxed.. that my muscles move out of place #gonna take some ibuprofen :(

So turns out, spending the day lugging around two cats, one weighing 9 lbs and the other weighing 13, in a carrier that probably weighs at least 2 lbs on its own, all with one hand because the other is holding Important Paperwork, and also in the rain, isn't good for your back. Who knew?

Next Valley Echoes comic might be delayed. Or it might be here early! Depends on what position my back locks me in overnight.

#personal #valley echoes aside #oof ouch my already bad back muscles #also my cat Axiom fear-pooped in the carrier on the way to the vet #today has been a *day* #oh well at least they got a good grade from the vet

Something you dont really realise until after starting to use a mobility aid (cane/crutches)

How the fuck am i supposed to go to the grocery store by myself? I can’t carry much already and then with my cane or with crutches my ability to hold shit is suddenly really decreased. And no, i cant just lean on the cart and hope for the best unfortunately that doesn’t really work

#chronic pain #undiagnosed chronic pain #oof ouch my bones #actually my muscles but whatever
