Monkey ladder

Well, the monkey is still alive and kickin'!  After raising my thyroid prescription to very high levels.....it's still wonky - so now we are entering epic levels.  If this last one doesn't work, it's to an endocrinologist I go.  It's very strange that after 25 years on thyroid meds, they decide to bonk out and fail. Now, my theory is that I have so much muscle mass now that it's messing with the absorption (yeah, I kind of choked on my cookies on that statement too! BAHAHAHA!)  Ah well, I guess we'll see in a month were this sucker lies.  Again, looking at the positive side of life, at least there is a bit of a reason why my butt size isn't shrinking.  Sheesh, can you imagine what it would be doing if I weren't working out and mostly eating good??

Oh - here's the kicker on that one...when the doctor said she was going to raise the dose - she also said to call her immediately if I got any heart palpitations or anything...ZOIKS! - ok - that part did kind of throw me.

Anyway - today was the one-handed Kettlebell ladder.  I finished 8:34.  As much as I've been feeling the 2 handed swings lately, I did NOT feel the one handed swing love.  I seem to be stuck in a perpetual 8-1/2 minute rut on this one.  I was actually hoping to get closer to 6...but nope.  I ended up stopping, and once you stop once, that's all she wrote, the next stops come easier.  I did feel the deterioration in my form pretty significantly tonight as my butt started to cramp and I was trying to catch a breath...threw off the rhythm etc.  Just not my best overall performance.  Not sure if the whole thyroid thing threw me off a bit or what.  It's definitely puzzling to me!
