WeakEnd

Hola.

So I traveled up to Erie, PA yesterday and had to wake up super early on very little sleep (slept very poorly), so no workout for me. I did, however, manage to get a minimal workout by carrying luggage for both myself and my dad. So, I did do a little something at least. It was a long, exhausting day of travel and helping out the 'rents, so I was elated to get some sleep. I woke up early to the sound of an opened door, but I think I had a pretty solid night of sleep. Score.

Saturday (today) I woke up, checked work email, set up Mom & Dad's ChromeCast, and have been fiddling around since with random things. Chad went to the RAC, so I knew I had to do something. I tried calling this one place for a free trial but no one answered. Scratch that for today.

Chad did the elliptical for a 1/2 hour, recumbent bike for 15 minutes, and lifted. I needed his motivation today, so I sent him a list of a ton of traveling WODs and he chose the following for me to do in my parents' basement:

"Thanks, Chad"
40-30-20-10
Lunges
Push Ups
Sit Ups

15:45 with many short breaks. Boo. Weak sauce on the Weekend. WeakEnd.

WELL...it was much more difficult than I would have suspected. I did add weight to the first half of each set of lunges cheating on the side of an even half (i.e. 16 for 30) with 15# dumbbells in each hand. I did stationary alternating lunges. As for the push ups -  o.m.g. I have not really been doing them and it shows. I had to alternate between shallow real push ups, deep knee push ups, and wormy hand release push ups. And for the sit ups - I usually crank through these, but they even gave me a little challenge today. Definitely humbling and also helps to point out that I can't skip on some things and cherry pick others. Too easy to do. Push ups and pull ups are again on my radar. Not being a slender musclebound smaller-chested broad, both of those movements are much more difficult, but I'll keep working at 'em.

Plan is to do another body weight WOD tomorrow and then add weights back in next week coupled with WODs and/or cardio.

At least I did something, at least we did something.

Being away from home in crappy weather in a relatively stressful/emotional situation certainly doesn't help, but it can't be an excuse.

Until next time...
