Sense has prevailed ......

I think I may be asking too much of my body at times -

I trained snatch/power swings on Saturday, swings on Monday and shoulders Tuesday - I planned to train swings again today but I'm just aim pooped

So I hope I made the sensible decision and decided to rest rather than train - don't get me wrong I could have trained but I'm not sure I would have gained much as it would have been a struggle from the off

So swings postponed til tomorrow - and as I'm off work I'll maybe do some sledgehammer work too and some waiter/rack walks to finish it off

Big plans!

Oh by the way shoulders still toast!

That is all sng

frustration........

To say work is frustrating today would most probably be the understatement of the year!

 

Anything that possibly can go wrong has and continues to do so – deadlines have come and gone un met and I am slowly disappearing up my own arse………

 

Only one thing to brighten the day has been photos of no2 son sent by mum (it’s the little things that help)

 

Shoulders still toast – but hoping to train swings tonight 25-35 mins is the plan but I will see what life throws at me as to what I can fit in

 

2 days hols coming up so nice long weekend with the family – cant wait!!!

 

Ttfn sng

Going forward . . . . .

so a weekend off the rails as far as the eating plan goes - i tried to stick to it loosely but loosely doesnt work - its either 100% or not at all

i have a few bits and pieces of easter chocolate to nibble trough - BUT the plan is -

FOLLOW THE EATING PLAN AS IT SHOULD BE - FAST 16HRS,CARB MEAL EARLY,CARB AND PROTEIN MEAL IN THE MIDDLE AND PROTEIN MEAL IN THE EVENING

eat the chocolate in and around until its gone then just stick to the plan, but always stick to the plan as far as meals go

BEYOND THAT I THINK I WILL CONTINUE WITH MY LENT EFFORTS AND ONCE THE EASTER OFFERINGS HAVE GONE I WILL ABSTAIN FROM BOTH CHOCOLATE AND CRISPS UNTIL JUNE 22ND (WHEN WE HAVE HOLIDAY BOOKED) - THES WILL BE REFERRED TO AS - "ABSTINENCE DAY ....." WHEN BLOGGED

well that is off my chest so time to carry on with the day!

training today will be some sort of shoulder w/o - not heavy but difficult i feel!

thats all sng

Easter break - Mondays w/o

3 days off work have resulted in a good rest and some real quality time with the family

On Saturday we spent the day on the Bolton abbey steam rail way and Thomas the tank engine - Oliver was over the moon and had the time of his life and William has a new word as a result choo choo it has been since Saturday

Sunday brought an Easter egg hunt at fountains abbey the kids weren't that interested but Yvette and I had great fun!! - following that yvettes cousin was having a get together for her birthday she is 8 next week - it was fun but 17 of us crammed into yvettes grans bungalow was far from my idea of heaven, mid party William threw up and has been at it ever since

Today has been a day of indulgence I've eaten too much chocolate and feel very lethargic - and as a result forced my fat arse out of the door (with a little help from Yvette!) -and did the following workout

16kg swings as follows-

10 2hd swings x 10 sets

5/5 1hd x 10 sets

10 sw/tr x 5 sets

20 2hd x 5 sets

10 sw/tr x 5 sets

600 swings - nice

That is all sng

5l/5r x 2 sets 16kg

10/10 16kg

5/5 16kg

5psw/6sw
