Been trying to login on and off for like 6 months now and only recently realized emails for password reset were going to my spam... after they didn't show up a couple times I kept thinking it was just sent to an old email that I don't use anymore that I haven't been able to recover.

Anyyyway. I've been less focused on any kind of maxes, especially for weight lifting lately. In the spring I finally got a primary care physician after my girlfriend had been bothering me about it for a while (she's a surgical nurse). Turns out it's not exactly healthy/normal for your heart to beat as forcefully as mine does, so after several different doctor visits due to serious fatigue increasingly weird sleep habits (like straight up passing out for 3 whole hours after work sometimes) I've been mostly focused on general health and some cardio.

Went through multiple check ups, EKGs multiple times at different types of tests, an echocardiogram, and finally a stress test on a treadmill. Concensus from my primary and from the cardioligist is: that heart murmur I found out about ages ago in high school is an diastolic murmur (which is slightly less common, not a big deal though), most likely caused by the fact that I have a bicuspid aortic valve (2 flaps instead of the 3 most people have) and that has caused "minor calcification" of my aortic valve which sounds scarier than it really is. Cardiologist recommended slightly more cardio or just general activities that can get my heart rate up, but apparently it's not a huge issue. (EDIT: Oh after the stress test they said I had early repolarization? Not entirely sure what that affects, but they said it wasn't super serious)

Bits of cardio like walking to work and random walks in general along with just a ton of practice cooking better food lately have slowly been fixing my weird sleep patterns and I'm starting to regain my old energy. Been way less productive than I used to be due to the weird sleep habits but things seem to be returning to normal.

Need some serious accountability to keep up with this because I still feel my motivation slip some days, so I'm hoping to actually log even the mundane activities here and maybe get some of you to annoy me as often as you remember to keep me on top of this stuff (seriously, send me messages, find my facebook or instagram and just spam me asking if I've worked out that day).  For those of you who bothered to read this whole thing (probably just darqui LBSS at this point lol) thanks for all the help and encouragement over the years. Hasn't exactly been a straight path, but this has always felt like a place I can vent and get help and support no matter what my health/fitness goals were.
