Which, fair enough to say, but I’m not relying entirely on my shoulders and back for indoor rock climbing. No, I’ve progressed to trying to utilize my legs more and keeping a looser grip on the holds so that I don’t immediately fry my firearms and grip strength mere seconds after mounting the walls. Do I still try to brute force it on occasion? Yes — of course, I’m not that well versed in climbing culture and etiquette so I do make stupid mistakes all the time. Like having a death grip. Pulling only with my arms. Forgetting to shift my weight over a planted foot to maintain position in a controlled manner. Not reapplying chalk mid climb. All rookie/noob mistakes, I’ll freely admit it. Doesn’t mean I’m not having fun though!
It’s Saturday. We’re off to go climbing shortly. And now that I look at things more closely I will need to run the lawn mower over the front and back yards today. Going to work up an appetite for lunch!
Being more active is great. But not seeing any weight loss because of it sort of sucks. But I’ll stick with it to see if I can get any movement on the scales, in relation to my belt, and how my clothes fit. I think I need more than eight hours over two weeks of swinging an axe for 60-90 minutes each morning after a farm walk, and climbing two days a week to see any results. Going back to lifting weights would help but that’s another expense, and more time to be found in an increasingly dense schedule*.
*That’s for another post me thinks.
