OK, this post ... I dunno. I'm just absent minded I guess. I mean, I should be keeping this updated every day - it's a daily journal, for goodness' sake. But ...I dunno. Just going through something at the moment, something that is taking me away from this blog.
I did train, however briefly, today.
I did two rounds of this before I was puked on by my son:
20 lunges
20 KB snatches both sides 30 lb KB used
6 chin ups
20 push ups
20 BW squats
Yeah, not the most hardcore workout, but I got something done. I had my two younger children in the gym with me, and the older one wouldn't sit with the younger one while I did my sets ... kinda disheartening, to be honest. The six year old got a pretty good time in, climbing and learning stuff; I guess mine comes tomorrow.
Meh, I'm not available to play this weekend. Might have to see if something else is on.
I ate this:
Breakfast: fresh fruit, coffee.
Snack: water
Lunch: tuna on salad, hummus with veggies, water to drink.
Dinner: roast beef on a bun, veggies with hummus. Water.
Watching the Canucks lose: beer.

Mon and Tues une 13 and 14
I'm thinking this didn't happen, as the Canucks depressed the heck out of me.
Monday, ate this:
oatmeal, coffee on the way in
Lunch was salad with tuna, hummus with veggies, water to drink
Dinner was roast beef with a salad with beer to drink
My body was hurting, so I stretched and had a few moments in the gym.
I woke up Tuesday feeling awesome. Seriously.
Ate this:
Breakfast oatmeal and a banana. Coffee on the way in
Snack water
Lunch; the same: tuna, salad, hummus, veggies
Played at least 90 minutes of rugby. Then did three rounds of this:
Farmers walks with KB and 50 lb dumbbell, 50 feet x 3
30 push ups
20 two handed KB swings (20 kilo bell used)
10 ab roll outs
after this, I did 10 full body over the head/back arch throws of the 30 lb KB.
Whoa, I'm getting kinda frunstrated with this Macbook - the touch pad is all gunked up. Needs some TLC, I guess.

Sunday June 12
I needed some recovery work done today. I wanted to get up early and do something, unlike weeks previous where I just lay in bed. This time, I used my children to guilt myself into getting out of bed and getting some work done.
I woke them up about 6:30 am, got ready myself and took my van to the beach. Of course, my van just happens to have a kettlebell in the back ... and so I got to the beach and got this done for four rounds:
warm up : constant movement for ten minutes: skipping, sprinting, leg lunges, arm circles, squats, literally anything.
four rounds of this:
30 two handed KB swings
20 KB jerks each side
30 feet farmers walk/suitcase walk/waiter walk
30 BW squats
I should have included some of Mark deGrasse's "Beach Animal Movements", as ther was no one on the beach at that hour... but I forgot. Still it was cool to get back to my house, have a shower, then go to church.
Way cool.
Ate this:
Before workout: water
After church: eggs, strawberries, melon, coffee to drink
snack: almonds and banana
Dinner: two slices of pizza, beer to drink.
the last meal of the day was a result of poor planning, but at least I got a chance to sit with my kids and eat as a family. I'm serious, that is this week's top priority: eating with my family forces me to eat better, and so that is what I will work on.

Like the song says ... "Saturday is a rugby day" ... and so ... I played rugby. I played at hooker, wore the number 2 jersey and felt pretty good for the game. It was pretty freaking warm by the end of the game. We won, by the way. With some help from a rather odd referee and fitness.
I tried to work on specific things in this game, most notably my tackling. I did not miss any big tackles, I made one rather important one on our five meter line, stopping a try coming from their line out. We won our scrums and won a few of theirs, thanks to me being a lot stronger in the second half of the game than their hooker. However, I was disappointed in my throwing in the line out. Everything else was decent.
90 minutes of that was enough. I did some stretching after the game, got to a local gas station for a 1.5l bottle of chilled water and got my butt home to get to my brother's place for a family thing. I didn't pee until much much later.
Which is kinda scary when you think about it.
Anyway, I promised my kids to get them up early Sunday to go to the beach.

Friday June 10
I think the word of the week was "ennui" - just stuff isn't working for me and I'm feeling more than just a little let down by my own actions, the actions of others and stuff that is just going on around me.
Some days I just have to look around at the mess in my house and recall that there are an awful lot of people who would love to trade spots with me. I love the messes my children make because they are with me to make them ... that usually does the trick, but this week was a tough sell for that stuff, man. Seriously.
I'm looking forward to next week, as I am going to go back to habits that work for me, not against me. At least my children will be around more for prepared dinners that we can enjoy together. Man, the last few weeks, I can't count the number of times I've eaten alone!
Ate this:
Breakfast: bagel and coffee on the way in.
Lunch lasagna and veggies with hummus, water to drink
Snack: ham sandwich. Beer to drink
Dinner ... no real dinner. Shameful.
Snack: chips and beer while watching the hockey game
Yeah, the diet is sucking this week. Tomorrow is a rugby day, followed by a family function then on to Sunday.
Blink...It's almost Monday again...

Thurs June 9
ok, Thursday is a rugby day ... and so... I got into it.
I ate this:
Breakfast: oatmeal, banana and coffee on the way in to work
Snack: was water - lots of it
Lunch was lasagna with hot sauce ... seriously delicious.
snack was more lasagna. almonds and water
after training was beer, lasagna and... feeling the chill of the wind.
Did this:
90 minutes of rugby training in the heat. It was all right - still need to work on my tackling in an open area. Up close to the ruck, I'm pretty confidant. Taking the ball into contact is also good for me - but seriously, my tackling in an open area, I jsut suck at.
After rugby training, did this for four rounds:
10 shoulderings of a 70 lb training bag
20 feet up push ups
10 ab roll outs
I got to slam that training bag to the earth like there was no tomorrow. Thta was good.
On to friggin Friday...
