Teaching the trainees this morning, then finished my annual self-appraisal and sent it in. A few phone calls to book some patients and complete a few notes...then it is weekend time.
 
Getting a few good workouts in, moving some research forward and reading a new stats book as a reward, then FOOTBALL SUNDAY!!!

First 5k run in over a year. Down 40 lbs since June, and not hurting as much from the run. Weekend of house cleaning, with a few reports thrown in.

Kudos! I need to get on that train and drop about 10. Strength training is still going strong, but I've let cardio slide over the year.

Well, that escalated quickly. Pending inspection, I have a new home.

We just finished a two mile training walk with the pup. He did super well with commands the whole time in really distracting areas so hurray for him!

Submitted my T&P dossier (not going up, we just have to submit them and get formal reviews every year) and had to list the citation counts and IFs for every single article. So much tedious data entry!

Serves you right for being so productive. Laziness has its advantages. 😉

With me it was all about the diet. I've always been pretty active, but over the pandemic year+ developed and even greater appreciation for all things aged, cured, fermented, and distilled. Cooking is a hobby and and escape, and with it comes eating. I started doing Noom in June, and it's working for me. While I'm already pretty well versed in the CBT and Mindfulness stuff on which it's based, it a nice refresher. For me, I really benefit from the feedback of the formal calorie logging, with the careful weighing and portioning. I tried walking around the other day carrying 40 lbs of dumbbells, and it really hit home the impact that type of weight has on the knees and back. I still have about 20 more lbs to go before i get my reinforcer (a new pair of skates).
 
Honestly, the last six months or so of the pandemic has been fantastic for my overall health, and especially my fitness level. I’ve dropped almost 20 lbs I’ve been meaning to lose for a few years, put on a bunch of muscle while improving cardio, and really kicked all aspects of training into high gear. Having an event as a goal to work towards, even long term, has been really helpful, and the positive reinforcement of having way more energy and ability to do the active things I enjoy. It’s also nice to have a very intentional, goal-focused hobby outside of academics.

On the Friday side, I’m headed back to the northeast for a wedding and thrilled to be getting back into the mountains!!

Which mountains?
 
Clearing clinical reports off my plate today, starting on an unexpected 3000 page record review and report, buddy coming in this weekend to hang out and play in a golf scramble on Monday. Finishing up some house buying paperwork and negotiations.

Wine release tonight. So time to pickup the whiskey aged red and see how it is.


Never done the white mountains but I've heard great stuff. I need to head up there sometime. NH is one of the states I have very limited time in.

I went to college up there and have hiked basically everything, so let me know if you ever want recommendations! They’re my favorite place outdoors in the US.

I haven’t done North Percy Peak, but I have done all the 4000 footers, which included a Kilkenny Ridge traverse to connect Cabot and Waumbek
 
I just shaved my normally short beard into a mustache for annual N95 testing. I’m a little worried it being unprofessional. But, I kinda dig it. I also work with children. Hopefully I won’t lose any patients. We shall see if there is an uptick in parents hesitant about separating for testing…

I seldom use a masks with patients (I give the ados-2 a lot)... But, I usually just wear a cloth mask in common areas.

My boom journey faltered. But, what did you eat?
 
I see SDN is ready for Friday too. I just got notified that I earned the "Happy Oktoberfest" achievement.

Game recognize game SDN.


Now its just an assessment and two therapy clients and I'll call it a week for board games. Breaking into Ankh: Gods of Egypt tonight over some whiskey aged red wine.
 
I got my pfizer booster on Thursday - I basically had no reaction to the first two. But, damn I was a sad SOB yesterday with my fever and aches (our family also has a regular cold right now). We're gonna work on baby #2's nursery this weekend. Hopefully I'll be able to ride tomorrow.
 
At my wife's suggestion, we drove up to the new Treehouse Brewing location and picked up their Classic Sampler. She was thinking it would be Treehouse Classics (i.e. amazing IPAs). Turns out it was their take on classic styles- marzen, altbier, kellerbier, czech- and vienna pils, with some nicely hopped pale ales (all my favorites- much more than IPAs).

PS5 delivered yesterday, so i'm going to explore some beers and videogames. Son and I going to UMass Hockey tomorrow night for National Championship banner raising ceremony.

It was an Xmas present for son and I last year, that turned into a birthday present a few months ago. He's been regularly getting in the online PS Direct Queue, regularly waiting a few hours, only for stock to run out. 10 months later he got lucky.
 
Only one patient today so things are sloooow. But I'm not complaining, lol. My husband is working all weekend so time will probably be spent sleeping, watching Netflix, playing video games, and entertaining my dog.

I have returned to my daily yoga practice for the past 10...no! 12-days straight! I needed it. I can physically tell the difference. Muscle memory is fantastic. Feels great. Friday night yoga, to start the weekend...it is. 🙏:bow: ❤️
 
Generally boring Friday - License classes, peer reviewing and 15 minutes of interest when a suspicious suitcase appeared nearby and “required” k-9 inspection.

Thank god there’s a winery release party this weekend.

Excuse me, where can I sign up for small human levels of energy??

There are plenty of unscrupulous providers out there who will give you stimulants with little to no actual evaluation.
