Post Turkey Friday

I got up late yesterday and my whole household was still asleep. After feeding and walking the dog, I got myself packed and off to the gym. It was crowded for a Friday! But it was an unusually nice day, and I did my usual 10 min warm up, boxed and kicked for 15 rounds, spent 15 min on the Step Mill and then headed home. The gym scale read 109 lbs. Two pounds of festive eating!

I did feel a bit queasy when I woke up. I attribute that to the desserts… there was no way to decline the "napoleon" so I ate around it… we brought blueberry pie and apple pie from Salinger's Orchard. They make the absolutely best pies! My brother's wife commented on the fact that this is the only blueberry pie she's ever had where there's not a lot of syrupy goop inside. Instead, the pie is packed nearly solid with berries. The same is true for their apple pies, but then again, they are an apple and peach orchard farm.

Punching was a bit painful in spite of all the precautions I take with my hands. I've developed a small cyst just outside the first knuckle of my right hand. I've had these before and when I finally excavate them, they turn out to be tiny pellets reminiscent of hard gelatin. Ugh. I'll have to put extra moleskin on before I box again.

From the website: dermnetnz.org/lesions/mucous-cyst.html

There appear to be two variations. The first is a form of focal mucinosis, a condition characterized by abnormal deposits of mucopolysaccharides (mucins) in the skin. Strictly speaking, it shouldn't be called a cyst as it does not have a surrounding capsule, and is better termed a pseudocyst. The other variation arises from extension of the lining of the finger joint and is due to osteoarthritis – a type of ganglion.

Today my son has archery, and then a swim Birthday Party later at the NY Sports Club. My hubs has decided he has better things to do. We did watch Jurassic World, and Guardians of the Galaxy last night, while snacking on cheese and crackers, and kalua pork. The pork is dry though and I slather my serving with homemade BBQ sauce (ketchup, molasses, garlic powder, apple cider vinegar). My hubs tends to pour off the cooking juices, with the intention of skimming the fat once it cools, but the container is still in the fridge with 2 inches of white pork lard on top. Oh well…

He's complaining about needed to change his workout because he's not seeing any progress after a few weeks. But he has started taking apple cider vinegar at night, just to see if it'll help.
