Tue, 1/31:

40m bike, L6 hill
stretches and core work

Note: I need to sit down and think about my training approach. it's starting to warm up a bit (in the Northeast that means it will probably snow 15 inches friggin tomorrow). I plan on buying that road bike in the next few weeks. which means I will start focusing more on riding and less in-gym cardio. I don't want to drop the 3-day training split I am on right now because my strength is coming back and numbers are going up at a good pace. will work on this in the next few weeks.

i made it to the gym too.. finally

i got up turned off my alarm and said i'm gonna go after work.. and then said fuck i say that every god damn day and then i don't go.. i go to a roid gym so after work its full of men..I get intimidated

I actually went this morning woohoo did a kick ass back work out..

i have been keeping up with free weights at home so i still look fine and i dont really do cardio.. but you can't do an effective back work out at home with free weights in my opinion

(My ass has been making it to the gym 1-2 times a week since the new year )

Yah got my results back Friday.. They really are stumped. I have been seeing the neurologist for exactly a year.

He compared my sleep studies before I was taking Ritalin to now and my levels of deep sleep have actually improved but are 75% below that of what are consider normal. He would love to say that the Ritalin is the cause of me not sleeping but seeing as my sleep has actually improved. (Scary huh) it’s not the case.

I don’t have apnea and I don’t have restless leg disorders, no signs of manic depression either- that are often causes of insomnia.

I slept for 4 hours and 23 minutes and woke up 27 times. Took me 3 hours to actually reach deep sleep at all.

The only answer is too taking more drugs. Something I am not willing to do. T o sleep right now I have to take 10mg of imovane a heavy prescriptive sleeping pill and in order to take breaks I take neocitron for a week every 3 weeks.

I also take melontin.

I have had sleep problems since childhood, my mind just doesn’t turn off – My doctor is one of the best in the city so I have total confidence in his skills and I have seen others who have misdiagnosed me..

The whole ADHd diagnosis has improved my work life. Because of the Ritalin.. I can be as successful as I want to be now.. because I can actually get everything done

Although I would love to sleep more than 4 hours a night.. I guess it’s not in the cards for me..

wow. sorry to hear all that - I can't imagine not being able to sleep. must be like some slow torture type of thing.

have you tried training at night, maybe to tire you out a bit??
