Dec 21 to 27

 


Not a bad week for me so far - I've gotten past most of the chunks of whatever were piling up inside my sinuses and the big day as well. I did manage to replace my Apple Watch with my wife's Apple Watch. It's a Series 3, so not as many bells and whistles, but good enough for now. I've had a few tough calls this week, including one to my dad on the way to the pool yesterday, but all is good.

I'm coming to grips with mortality this week as well. One or two things inside of me are not working as well as they should. I see that in the way I move and react to food, exercise and sudden physical demands. Sigh, I'm doing the bare minimum, I know that, and yet somehow expecting a lot more results. 

I'm grateful for this week, as at least I get a chance to pause and look up ahead as well as get caught up at work. It is a grey fog of a week between Christmas and New Years, but at least it's a grey fog I can manage to get some rest in. 

Managed to close my rings three times this week, getting close on two other days. I got my planning book for the second half of the school year set up and heard about work in the summer as well. Prep, prep and more prep. 

Morning sessions as follows:

8-10 minutes of mobility - cat/cow, baby pose, push ups, downward dog to cobra, butterfly legs, WGS and 90/90 stretches. More push ups.

10-12 minutes of ab work - swimming kicks, BJJ leg pummelling, putting on socks stretches and rotations, scorpion stretch, clamshell stretch ... and push ups. 

10-12 minutes of 35 lb floor db presses, banded bicep curls,, banded overhead presses, standing hip CARS, bodyweight squats ... and push ups. 

Rather tediously, the evening sessions were swims in the afternoon or evenings, usually in the 35-40 minute range. Good cardio, not exciting.
