I NEED SLEEP!!! I can do anything if I have my 7-8 hours of sleep! I have not had that for several nights and it is about to kill me! I think I have it figured out now though and so I am hoping for some better quantity and quality tonight. I just need to sleep sitting propped up and since I dont have a recliner because I never have time to recline, I am going to sleep on the couch using the pillows to prop me up. It worked pretty well last night when I finally got smart enough to move in there.
The races were tough this weekend or at least saturday was. I was exhausted and it was windy and no crowd. I did get a few hours of sleep that night so sunday was a bit better and the weather was perfect. I was hoping that at home in my own bed I would get better sleep since I hadnt been coughing as much but it didnt happen. An hour after going to bed it was cough cough cough and so after doing that for hours, I finally moved to the couch and got a bit better rest.
Squats explosive
I really wanted to just stay in bed but I knew the kids would be waking up soon and I wouldnt get enough extra sleep to make it worth while not going to workout.
Dreadmill warm up for 8 mins
squats
*45# for 2 sets of 10
*95# for 2 sets of 5
*135# for 2 sets of 3
*155# for 2 sets of 1
*165# for 5 sets of 2
narrow stance again, it was a good thing.
overhead squats
*total fail. For whatever the reason I could not figure out how to get these done today. I figure it is just because I have coughed so much that my core is not strong enough to keep everything tight like it needs to be. If it isnt that than I have no idea because it just wasnt working so after two attempts of a few horrible reps, I moved on.
good mornings
*95# for 2 sets of 15
I pretty much hit the wall about this time and it was a struggle to keep working out.
box jumps
*3 sets of 10
amazingly enough I managed to not biff it on these
pullups
*6,4,3
at least my lats had a bit left in them.
It was a pretty busy monday. We got a slow start on surgeries and didnt finish them until after 1. The afternoon was busy and we had a dog come in that had a pyometra so after we finished with all the dogs and then the horses it was after 5 and it was 6:30 when we walked out.
I had just gotten home and sat and talked with David some and started trying to get something for dinner when the phone rang and a sick dog needed to come in. As soon as I hung up with them the phone rang again and now I am sitting here waiting for a shih tzu/poodle cross to get here that has been trying to have puppies for several hours but isnt getting anything out. *big sigh* So much for getting to bed early
One puppy lived but better one than none!
