Yesterday afternoon was super busy and I was glad when it was over and I could head home.  Not that I got to stay home but just not being at work was good.   I headed over to karate to watch Emma.  She is doing so well.  I am very proud of her.   Afterwards she wanted to go jump around with Zac at the gymnastics place.  I was more than happy to drop her off and go home and fix me a shake and get ready for bed.

I woke up at 1:30 to let one of the dogs out and started coughing and that was pretty much the end of sleep for me. Between trying to hack up a lung and letting dogs in and out I was pretty much awake and got out of bed at 4:10.

Off to the gym on time this morning.

bench reps

I forgot what it was that I needed at the store and it wasnt until I was in bed that I remembered it was my juice for my workout drink.  So no quick carbs for me today because I am getting old and forgetful.

bench

*45# for 15

*65# for 10

*95# for 8

*115# for 5

*125# for 2 sets of 7 and one of 5

I knew I was in trouble when I had a difficult time getting 5 reps with 115#.   I mentally prepared myself to not get upset if I missed my numbers.

bench

*65# for 2 sets of 25

I tried really hard to work on form with these.  Stay tight, pull bar apart, push away from bar etc etc.  I dont think I did very well.

 

db incline press

*40# for 2 sets of 10, one set of 8 :(

lying tri extensions

*35# for 3 sets of 10

I was failing fast here and the gym had filled up with the barney fife club and the dumb and dumber and dumbest boys so I just decided to stop before I killed someone. :)

The morning was busy.  We got a late start on surgeries and thankfully didnt have that many routine surgeries but had a fracture repair that took a bit of time.  It was a young dog that they said broke its leg on saturday but I think it was probably the saturday before because it was really scared down and quite the mess.
