Hi all,
Please ignore any typos. I ran out of time to edit
Yesterday I did PUB back and biceps, inserting 4 sets of assisted pull ups during the back pyramid, then doing 7/7/5/5/5 unassisted chin ups before doing the bicep work. It was a great workout and even with the pull/chins I was able to use heavy weights, the same I used on Saturday, so that was good. Then I ran, SS at a decent pace for about 2/3 then sprints for about ¾ of a mile and then a slower cool down. It was a good workout and I was drenched again from head to toe. Running gets so much done in so little time.
Today will be the butt/leg workout, PUB ch/sh/tri and some yoga. I’m going to insert extra push ups/dips between weight changes. No more upper body for me this week after today’s workout. I’ve done enough of that. So much for endurance weeks, I went to failure on the medium weight of the bicep exercises, so I guess that was good.
Traci – Does your fee include your travel time? That would be an issue around here because it can take a long time to go a short distance. Glad it went well. I’ll be interested in reading the rules book. I take nothing as the end all anymore. There are just no absolutes.
Amy – Didn’t you do the diet where you were eating lots of fat/protein a while ago? I was reading about the whole fat protein carb thing. I think the problem with the fat/protein type diet is that you still have to monitor calorie intake and it is hard to do if you eat fat. You were gaining then weren’t you?
Jeanette – I’m glad we don’t life where DSs could use four wheelers consistently. He probably would have had one and he has a need for speed. It is unfortunate that forest land is being closed, but I sometimes feel that its the only way that it will be preserved. I hope you enjoy the golf. I missed it, is DH taking golf lessons too? You are drinking coffee at 10? I would be awake all night! Caffeine past 7 and I toss and turn all night.
Cheryl- Keeping my fingers crossed for you good eating. It has to be a way of life.
Laurie – We can be terrible housekeepers together. The best thing we ever did was to put this white/tan/brown tile in our kitchen. You can never tell that it is dirty!
Wendy – GS legs is great! You can devise some subs for CTX & PS. CTX will be work getting whenever the downloads come. It is old but great. My kitchen remodeling is at a standstill because we ran out of money. For a LONG time, I had the ceiling half pulled out and nails everywhere. You can’t imagine. Finally we did get all of the drywall fixed because we took out walls. They are easy to take out, but the refinishing is a mess. All we need now is new cabinets. We have a mix of old junk in for the time being and I’m just used to it. I’m hoping that maybe if DH’s business holds up this fall we can finish. Last year we went to New Zealand, so that was my cabinets. I wouldn’t trade it though. I usually run about 3/5-4 miles. I’m trying not to go any further and work on speed instead of distance. I run on trails down by the river which is close to my house. I take the dogs, so I feel pretty safe, but even DS said the one trail is a little creepy. It is during the summer when leaves and foliage are out. I’m used to it, but still get unnerved every now and then.
Annointed – I love it when stores send me coupons. Did you get anything good? How long do you average working out a day?
Debra – The cleaning fairies rarely visit my house. I’d even settle for some pixies I find that I shrug one shoulder when I ride my bike. It is a constant effort to maintain good form, otherwise my shoulder hurts. I don’t know how I got that habit either.
Nicole – It isn’t in the high 90s, but low 90s/ high 80s. I think we are just used to it. That’s why we love to visit the west in the summer.
Sandra – I still love spending the day outdoors with the kids. Of course the outings have changed, but they love and appreciate the outdoors and I’m so happy that I could help them with that appreciation. It is so overlooked these days for all of the ridiculous gimmicks that people are into.
Lea – The avatar looks great. The new diet must be working for you. I just emailed my principal to give her a heads up as to why I avoid all of these breakfasts and lunches. All they have is carbs and foods I don’t eat. She was OK with it and said she is trying to eat healthy now too. People eat so bad.
Carol, Jenn, and anyone else; Hi.
Off to work.
