SevenofSeven Posted September 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 She is relentless! Went for my second blood test today, the phlebotomist had a harder time finding my veins today, came out with multiple band aids I could have rung the Dr surgery at 4.30 to find out the results but my Mum was in my face from 4.00 "have you rung yet?" 4.10, 4.15, 4.20, 4.25, 4.30, right up until 5.00, "I am not going to ring the Dr, I will talk to HIM about the results when I go back in two weeks." Not only that but the woman who was telling me she would help me, in any way she could, watched me do her dishes, twice, make dinner for 9 people including her and Dad and asked for multiple cups of coffee when she wasn't in bed. That's ok Mum, Just sit and relax, I got this Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment

SevenofSeven Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Language warning:Ok, so here is the honest.I am confused! I did the Wednesday Madcow (as seen below) and totally just lost my shit because 1x5@90kg deadlift, kinda really sucked and the last rep was just gross, and it bummed me out that 1x5@100kg, was totally not going to happen.Madcow:Squat:1x5@40kg1x5@45kg2x5@55kgPaused for 3 seconds at the bottom for the last reps. Just not feeling strong.OHP:1x5@20kg2x5@25kg1x5@30kgThese are the only things I was happy about.Deadlift:1x5@65kg1x5@75kg1x5@90kgFucking grip, fucking sweaty fucking hands, bloody hell. Just not happy.If there was an emoticon that was a sad angry face that I could access on iPad I would fill up this post with it.And to top off my angry confused mind, I noticed today that one foot is slightly in front of the other when I squat. Just like a fucking twisted sister. Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
SevenofSeven Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Feeling a little better now I have carlmed down a bit, and thought about stuff. Not to mention getting things in perspective, fully expecting a trip to the hospital with Son6, he is crook, wheezing and cough, this little Bugger though has a tendency for pneumonia and lung infections so keeping an eye on him.In better news, sent Son5 and his mate out on an overnight hike by themselves. This is going to be awesome for them.The beginning: Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
SevenofSeven Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 The drama unfolded, spent two hours at the hospital with Son6, pretty much knew that was gonna happen, while we were in there Son5 contacts me, his mate is suffering from severe stomach cramps, they need picking up. So after that haul arse to the middle of nowhere for emergency pick up.It is Sunday today and I feel like crap, sore throat, blocked nose and general shittyness. However Son3 and Son4 have their soccer grand final today, so time to get out of bed and move on. Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment

SevenofSeven Posted September 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Today was decidedly better than yesterday, albeit pretty busy. Looking forward to a new week and then a long weekend and then two weeks of holidays! Light at the end of the tunnel! 1 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
SevenofSeven Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Was not feeling 1000% today and dreaded being in the water, got away with being dry for the first two classes but the two after lunch, OMG, just was not on the ball at all, I think I was shivering worse than the kids. Not to mention that two of the teachers had exchanged unpleasantries on Friday when I wasn't there. I get it though, one teacher has a bad habit of swimming her class through others while moving around the pool. No excuse me, or may I, just directs her kids straight through. Rude, pool etiquette.Son5 really enjoyed his first day of work experience at Manjimup Toyota. Cool another mechanic in the family is a good thing! Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
SevenofSeven Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Wednesday and only need to get through. Today and tomorrow and break for 3 weeks! So far my Challenge has sucked big time and consistency has not been accomplished. Hoping above hope that with the break from Scouts/Venturers and work, I will be able to nail the next 3 weeks in workout and nutrition. I hate that the dog was so excited to see me early this morning, but had to let her down for a walk because of the need to be in the next town by 8.00am.Yep need to make these next three weeks count, and get this current Challenge under control, instead of the runaway train it has been.

SevenofSeven Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Well life is just full of disappointment.

SevenofSeven Posted September 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 We're coming into Harvest, so the bins are the grain handlers, his job would have been weighing the trucks, cleaning the silo's after the grain has been moved to the trains, general maintenance, making sure the conveyer belts keep moving, that kind of stuff. He was up there 8 weeks last year and made $10,000 AUD. Pretty good money for the kids over Christmas break. At least his two brothers will be working. 1 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment

SevenofSeven Posted September 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 So black mould everywhere! I knew it and there was the feeling of inevitability that I was going to have to deal with it. So first day of total house Spring clean kitchen was totally torn apart and bleach was sprayed everywhere. Phase two, wash all the dishes and Tupperware and store in boxes until I can talk SO into a new kitchen, and since I haven't had a stove that works for 6 years, we could be living out of tubs for a while yet.So finish kitchen and start another room today!

Felt very weak, but motivated. So there is that. The belt was an experience and I found my knees shot outwards when lowering the bar to miss squashing the guts on the way back to the floor, gonna have to work on that for sure. It has highlighted the fact that the useless piece of skin and fat hanging off the front of me may be problematic. That said though I fucking loved it, the pull felt really strong and back felt great, there is obviously going to be an adjustment period. 1 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
