Bands, straps, training materials (books/videos), roller and stick have arrived after my workout today. I am working through the new materials (a lot of it!), working on the ISSA training course, and working on several research and development projects related to work. There is a lot of transition going on at work, the gym and home. Transition/change is good - it helps make you stronger.
I did not sleep well last night coupled with a high salt dinner out last night and for lunch today. Enough that I exhausted quickly. I also found that the stick felt good, but I seemed weaker - muscles not tense enough. My knees bothered me a bit, as well, most likely because I was on my feet a lot (concrete floors) and up and down concrete steps all day.
Need to increase water consumption and reduce salt again. My weight is still dropping about 0.5-1lb per week (and sometimes faster) which is great!
