I cut out some assistance work today as well as my ball throws. I’m not feeling great, but I didn’t want to completely miss the session. Hopefully this will keep me on track. My husband spotted me on my bench and told me I could have had 14 but the pressure in my head said 13 was good. Hopefully this won’t last long. Squats should be interesting. They are already my weakest link, I doubt head congestion will help this situation.
I am very much not looking forward to posting pictures for the T-ransformation. Such is life. Hopefully I will look forward to the after pictures more. Hopefully I will nail down my actual lifting goals this week.
Happy news: My husband got me baby weight plates for Christmas. 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 pound plates. I’m very excited as my OHP and Bench are low enough weight that being able to add half a pound or one or two will be quite helpful. Having to round to the nearest 5 is difficult when you are dealing with small numbers.
Today is a great day.
That place is really neat. I’m in St Charles now. Lived in STL for 15 years…cop there for almost 16. Ty, you and your family, as well … ironically I worked downtown last night and will tonight again. Ha
We have a friend who used to live in St Charles. That place is pretty cool. If I remember correctly it had an old feel to it. Stay safe tonight. Say hello to the feral cats for me.
It’s a very old town… well over 200 years now. Lewis and Clark started their journey here. Main St is very charming. Many of the houses still have the slave quarters in them. My uncle found confederate money in one of his walls.
Grazie … I carefully planned a life of adventure, experiences and wanderlust. Enough stories for many lifetimes. Alas… never married, no children… can’t have it all. But I’ll go down in the history books … volunteered for the Iraq war and went. That was epic… fighting in Mesopotamia. I do wish I had joined the French Foreign Legion though.
I did the opposite. My plan was to be a wife and mom. Achieved both goals. Started late which dropped my child plan from 4 to 2. I think I did pretty well at both jobs. No way to know for sure. My kids are nearly adults now. 18 and 15. Perhaps my time for adventure will start soon. More the peaceful type. Maybe hiking somewhere cool and seeing some of Europe. We’ve been trying to see parts of this country with our kids. We have been coast to coast with them. I hope they have enjoyed what they have seen. I hope it sparked their desire for adventure and nature. The only other thing I ever wanted to do but never did was live in New York City . Not sure why. Pretty sure I would hate it now. Too many people. I want wide open spaces now.
I feel this sometimes. Like I am never really where I always want to be. I’ve never been a person who thought, this is the house I will die in, this is the job I will retire from. There is too much to see and do.
Like, a sport thing or a military type thing?
We are doing as we can. It’s a bit difficult with kids. School and sports take up quite a bit of time. I don’t want to miss their things. Watching my boys compete has been so much fun. My oldest will graduate this year. Still blowing my mind there. It went so fast. If he doesn’t run in college I have already watched his last cross country race. (It was fantastic! He really ended the season with his best race). The youngest is really getting into wrestling and it’s been fun to watch him try to tap into some aggression. The kid is so sweet and kind, it really goes against his nature. Lol. But the hope is that when they are both in college and less reliant on us I will get a travel gig. 13 week contracts all over the country. Until then it will continue to be family vacations somewhere new every time.
Wowza!
I think that it would have been cool to learn to fight like that. But I very much dislike the idea of being hit. I’ve never been punched and I hope to live the rest of my life that way.
