Boy oh boy I am so glad I decided not to do a challenge this cycle.  Wheeeewwwwwww.

 

This weekend was an amazing weekend of driving - friends - food - soccer - great weather - almost stepping on a giant beetle the size of my thumb at a rest stop - and sleeping like a baby last night but not enough because boy did my workout suffer today.

^^^ it me

 

Sleep deficit got to me and I actually failed my very first OHP ever ahahaha wheeee yaaaaah

 

OHP

45x5x1

55x5x1

60x3x2

60x0xFAILBOAT

My arms literally could not budge an inch, so I just reracked, unplated, and walked away with my head held high YOLO w/e I ain't even mad.

 

One Armed Row

30x8x3

 

Arnold Press

15x8x3

 

Cable Twist

20x8x2

23x8x1

 

Cable Push

20x8x3

 

What a weenie workout, I was fatigued/starving/fuzzy by the end of it, I devoured a homemade breakfast sandwich and single serving of macaroni salad, drank a ton of water, and am feeling gently human again.  I'm not terribly upset, I'm certainly not in "the zone" right now and once next week gets here I'll be able to go whole hog again with 3x a week and no real travel for a while.

 

Lots to do at work before I leave tomorrow afternoon, so here I go, productivity!!

Weeks like this are meant to be enjoyed. You can get back to smashing it in the gym afterwards.

Phewwwww I'm back, KINDA.  Cabinparty was fun and wonderful and EXTREMELY BUSY and I was exhausted most of the time and running on a sleep deficit and actually had a minor panic attack due to the birthday restaurant NOT HAVING OUR RESERVATION FOR 10 PEOPLE READY WHEN I CALLED TO CONFIRM (i broke down in the bathroom for like 10 minutes, that was fun, but i managed to fix the problem) sooo yeah.  Ahahaha awesome excellent. 

 

So yeah I'm still kinda running on fumes here and doing my best to stay afloat.  I've been in kinda a bad headspace over the past few days so I'm really kind of drawing my energy inward to work on myself and try to manage my jangly nerves and stupidbrain.  I've been doing some journaling and writing and it's helping some!!  ALSO hoping I can get back to the gym tomorrow or Thursday................!  I NEED TO LIFT THINGS

Tell me, if you had the strength to take another step, could you do it?

Welcome back shaarawy <33! Sorry to hear your headspace is in a bad place, I definitely know those feels. Sounds like you're doing what you need to to heal and get back in a better frame of mind. I'm always here if you ever want to talk/vent/cry <333. 

 

But I also know if anyone can get mentally back on track its you because I've witnessed some amazing things in the time I've followed you on here. YOU GOT THIS <333

THANKS GUYYSSSS <33333 I'm pretty much back on track now, F YES!!

 

Man, a week away from the gym and a few extra Oreos and beers will really put a little dent in your workout................. >_>;;;

 

Today was tough.  BUT really happy to be back at it.

 

There was this kid speed-roping in front of the power rack for like 10 minutes.  I wanted to berserk and run over there and tangle up his jump rope into a big ball and throw them both out the window.  YEAH YOUR CARDIO IS GREAT NOW PRITHEE FUCK OFF

I find people who jump rope close to where I'm working out make for great fans, provided the rope moves fast enough...

Different type of fan...unless you're tangling them up with the ceiling fan overhead for blocking access to the rack, lol.

kg?  The meet I was at there was a kid in the Junior division who opened at 250 kg or so.  (550 pounds)

 

His coach helped me out a lot!  We were talking about working in and he said I had lots of time and just say what weight I wanted because he was going up pretty high.  He told me to keep track of the first flight of lifters and finish my ramp up when they were starting their third attempt.  Afterwards he said I smoked my opener. :)

 

The kid came complete with monster handler.  Possibly his gf.  She got his water or whatever.  Basically he was told to sit here and rest.  You are about to lift.  Okay.  There's your weight.  Go lift it.

 

In the language of Minsc and Boo:  You point!  I PUNCH!

That sounds like Crossfit.  I could ask Miss Broki, but I am pretty sure she believe the Olympic lifts are absolutely NOT intended to be done in huge rep ranges.

Meanwhile on FB, I am friends with the girl my sister used to babysit and she uses FB as a platform to post her drama.  She is one of two kids my sister is age-sensitive about.  The other one is her brother.  (They are 31 and 33 by the way.)

 

Anyway, she was complaining about the damn kids next door making too much damn noise and in the process of finding a new apartment.

 

JUST IN CASE THIS CAME OFF AS WEIRD:  I was the younger sibling and a natural at keeping the kids entertained when visiting family friends or when family friends were visiting.

550 LBS GOOD LORD.  Yeah this is lbs, give or take about 10, I didn't want to openly stare at the plates just for math's sake, lol

 

Yes definitely very Crossfittey, he would do like 10 quick reps of it.  It made my Old Lady Back hurt watching it.

 

FB is a SUPER DRAMA platform isn't it?!?!?!  Sigh.  Good ol' BookFace.

 

I was an only sibling, also quiet and pretty introverted about everything and kept myself entertained and didn't run into neighbor's yards or act a noisy fool or anything.  Also growing up in a very rural area helped! XD
