Hahah. Seriously.

 

If you like space opera meets Hunger Games, Red Rising is very, very good. The rest of the trilogy is also solid, but the first one is excellent. 

I've heard good things about Red Rising. I'm going to add it to my list.

I will have to add that to my list! Night Circus comes to mind as being in the same vein. 

Night Circus. OMG. LOVED IT SO MUCH>

I read Geek Love by Katherine Dunn this spring after years and years of people recommending it to me and I adored it. It's about a circus "freak" family.

boy do i suck at doing my other meditations. 

Today I have my PT appointment and next Thursday I am getting more vaccinations!

I finished The Wise Man's Fear the other night and now I'm bummed that I don't have another book I'm looking forward to so much. Anyone have any good fiction suggestions? I've read ALL Sanderson, and Rothfuss (except for the slow regard... saving that for my trip.) But don't generally skew towards fantasy. Favorite author is Margaret Atwood.

Haven't you heard of our lord and savior Torrent and his prophet VPN?

 

Dunno, I guess that's one of the perks of living here.

Ha Yes. but my "problem" is twofold. 

1) my personal laptop is on it's last legs

2) i'm not educated on the good torrent sites anymore. Once I get a new lappy, maybe someone (ahem) will help educate me. 

7/20

 

Workout:

Usual warm up

 

Power Jerk + Overhead Squat 2+2

15kg

20kg

25kg

30kg

33kg 4(2+2)

 

These felt good, though I don't keep my ribs down as much as I would like. I think I'm super sensitive to it though, so the next time I do power jerks, I'll video it. 

 

Power Clean Doubles

15kg

20kg

25kg

30kg

33kg 4x2

 

It took all of the strength of mind to not let myself go up to 35 on these. But I still have 6 more weight limit workouts, and I'm going to stick with my plan. These felt good. I kept catching the bar in my throat. It's nice that my elbows are learning to work, but I need my windpipe. 

 

Front Squat

 

25kg x 5

30kg x 3

35kg x 5x3 (five sets of 3) 

 

Focused on torso position and keeping as braced and upright throughout the entire movement. 

 

Clean Pulls

35kg x 3x3

 

These felt super light (they are) but I worked on staying over the bar, and then being balanced at the top of the pull. 

 

Goal 1: Take care of my back by doing more movement throughout the day.

 

8a - CARs

10a: cat camel, quad rockbacks, quadreped half down dog, segmented cat camels to isolate t-spine and lumbar. 

12p: 20min walk with Sadie

2p: core series 

 

Goal 2: Track food, hit calorie goals.

 http://www.myfitnesspal.com/profile/needanightlight

tracked mostly. 

 

 

Goal 3: Get a hold of my anxiety

I'm really bad at getting in my other meditations

No TV in bed on weeknights - reading is OK: read for a while. it was glorious.

Drink at least 80oz of water: yup!

 

I had a hard time falling asleep last night. I didn't really eat enough during the day, so I ended up getting a Chi'lantro bowl (rice, chicken, peppers, onions, kimchi, spinach, cabbage, carrot + carrot ginger sauce) and I think it kept me up. I need to make sure that i get most of my calories in before my workouts so I can just have my casein pudding at night on workout nights. I know that works well for me, I just have a hard time with planning when I'm going to eat and then actually going through with it.
