Yep, so much stuff has happened. Mostly three years of being out of my mind, literally. So like this blog, I've finally clawed myself out of a stupor after finally finding the right medication. Sometimes I was able to do some work, but my mind really wasn't in it, which is a pretty big problem for a knowledge worker. My current therapy: working out any moment possible, and of course still knitting. So now this is being revised as a training log with interludes of knitting.
With my love of aliases, I'm still Thomasina to the knitting community, and now Yelsel to the fitness community. Go figure.

I don't write anything I would be ashamed to have associated with me - I just would like to enjoy a bit of privacy. Not that many people will read this, but it is so, so easy to google. This is mostly my training record, and a record of my knitting projects for my own enjoyment.
My goals: Complete "New Rules" in the next 6-8 months. Increase muscle strength and increase lean muscle mass. Also, decrease % body fat to be healthier and show muscle definition.
