Training Wheels

Adaptations continue. On Monday the kitchen was conquered. Even on two legs, personal cheffing is fairly laborious. Planning, shopping, prepping, cooking, cleaning... blah blah blah. Making a work week’s worth of simple meals is 4-5 hour affair. Somehow, I was able to crank out the following stuff in enough bulk to cover 2 people’s lunch/dinner needs for the week. Minus the dishes (The other benefactor covered those) I only had to hop around on one leg for 4 hours or so. So basically, it sucked, but after finishing another hefty serving my tummy still thinks I got mad game in the kitchen.

- Chicken Milanese over Roasted Potatoes, Arugula and Cherry Tomato
- Salmon, Summer Vegetable and Chickpea Curry
- Bison, Chorizo, and Kale Chili
- Chard, Bacon and Chevre Frittata

And for those interested in the robo-weighted training schedule:

AM
Pranayama

PM
Monday - Trainers (power hangboard) / Grippers
Tuesday - Campusing (metolious meds) / Core
Wednesday - Pumping Iron (John Brookfield Style) / Grippers
Thursday - Repeaters (power endurance hangboard) / Core
Friday - Bar Work (pull ups/dips etc) / Grippers


On the weekends I’ll be trying to stick to the prescription of sitting around on my ass with the leg up and stuff. The hard training.

When I wasn't allowed to put any weight on my ankle the hardest stuff was standing around trying to do stuff. Working on things in the garage was way harder than trying to go get the mail or pick up a twelver at the store.

Your food sounds awesome. Keep it up.

I know Bob. I keep forgetting to ask someone to snap photos of the rig. Next post for sure.

Thanks Reed. Definitely. Standing is way worse than than walking. In fact, I catch myself fidgeting around almost like crutching in place.
