Tues November 15

Oh, man. I did a workout this morning that was pretty tough and long:

five rounds of;
20 zelcher squats, using BTB ~45-50 lbs
20 KB swings, 20 kilo bell used
10 trx body rows
20 feet up push ups
20 seated knee tucks
15 bench flies - 30 lb db used
10 ab roll outs

took me about 35-40 minutes to get it done. I'm bushed. I tried to get a couple of shots of the last round, but my iPhone slipped. I got some nice pics of the ceiling of the gym instead... I'd like to get some sort of a tripod rigged up. Meh, I got a whole bunch of other things to worry about in the short term. Maybe this'll go on my wish list...

In any case, I ate this:

Breakfast: smoothie - frozen mixed berries, milk and protein powder.

Snack:coffee

Lunch: tuna sandwich, water

Snack: more water

Dinner: pancakes with a little maple syrop with the family.

Monday Nov 14

Normally, I hate Mondays. I think it's just the start of another long week of morbid lock step decent.

I am, of course, kidding. Mondays are usually the one day where people tend to leave me alone to get crap done that I avoided doing since Friday. Today, however, I got a chance to make some decisions in my life and a bit of clarity is always welcome. I step forward into a new paradyme.

I any case, while I was letting someone else do my work for me (seriously, don't take that the wrong way, they did my work voluntarily. I really think it would have been easier for me to do the work, but I digress) ... and I got this website emailed to me. Seems Demonbells are going to be the next big thing. Too bad that there is no shipping to addresses outside of the US for the time being...

Anyway, I had a guest training with me today:

I'm so blessed by this little guy, and his sisters, too. And their mother. Who else would put up with the likes of me?

Anyway, only had like 25 minutes to train today, and I got this done AMRAP:

20 BW squats
20 feet up push ups
20 KB swings (53 lb bell used)
20 mountain climbers/man makers
20 seated knee tucks

I think I did four rounds, if not then I got five rounds done. Either way I was pretty sweaty and felt good at the end of it. I had to go and be a dad after this.

Breakfast: nothing but coffee

Snack: water

Lunch: Tim Horton's lasagna. Coffee and bread.

Dinner: pasta and a small piece of garlic bread. Milk to drink.

After night school eating: nada

Friday Saturday and Sunday Nov 11-13

Well Friday was a back to work day. I felt marginally better after being puked on most of Thursday. However, it's all good.

Ate well, chose to not workout as I was still recovering from illness and got to bed early. It's been interesting, man

Saturday was a lot better - I got a bodyweight workout done as the sun set, which is about 4pm here, nowadays. Got this done for four rounds:

20 BW squats
20 seated knee tucks
20 push ups

Then I had to go be a dad.

On Sunday, ate ok - still not where I want to be with the diet, but whatever. Got to watching this, though and got inspired to workout:



Did this workout five rounds:

20 bw squats
20 feet up push ups
20 mountain climbers
single combative drills:

double leg attacks
bjj legs up
hip hikes
high hip hikes
Roger reversals
Roger pick ups

then I got the inch ropes around Roger and worked on my arm throws.

I was pretty sweaty at the end of this. I felt awesome.

Thursday Nov 10

I hated this day.

Hated.

I got nothing done, didn't eat well, and got barfed on.

Hated today.

Wed Nov 9

OK, I am still pretty sore - not sure from what ... might be a long rugby season, might be from the KB lifting yesterday or over the weekend ... might be the wear from doing extra work.... might be a piss poor diet.... I dunno. Just feeling sore.

Did get a workout in, though. Had to.

Did this for four rounds:

Indian club work - castings, rotations, "Other" ... both single and double handed exercises. Pretty cool.
20 BW Squats
20 seated knee tucks

lots of stretching before and after this workout. Like I say, not sure what is going on.

Ate this:

Breakfast: steak wraps with veggies. Not just for lunch or dinner anymore... water to drink.

Snack: coffee on the way in.

Lunch I skipped this mean

Dinner: roast beef wraps. Water to drink.

Tues Nov 8

Right ... I got this done today:

20 bw squats
20 push ups
20 kb swings
5 chin ups
10 ab roll outs

I did that workout four rounds, then did 2 minute goes on kettlebell snatches. I got 45 each side

I ate this:

B : bacon BELT and coffee

Snack water

Lunch tuna on salad, walnuts, too water to drink

Snack coffee to drink

Dinner bbq burger in a wrap, salad, water

All in all, nota bad day. I'd like to get my what I stick in my mouth under better control- today was a step in the right diection. More steps are needed.




On to Wednesday, the kookiest day of the week around here!

Monday Nov 7

....and Monday rears it's ugly head. I got a letter from my old insurance agency on Friday, so I had to go into their Hamilton offices this morning ... which meant no Monday morning workout. Night school is on tonight, which also usually means no after work workout, either.

At least the way I was awoken this morning can bring a smile. My middle child tickled me awake at 6am .... I'd be upset, but it was pretty funny, man.

Ate this:

Breakfast: roast beef and salad wrap, coffee to drink.

Snack coffee

Lunch:tuna sandwich

dinner: roast beef and salad in a wrap. Water to drink

After night school eatings:
