Two days of "rest" and back to the gym. Not really a rest when, on Mondays and Wednesdays, I also train in and teach 4-5 year olds Tae Kwon Do. Plus, tackling blackberry bushes in the back yard is no rest day. Tonight, on the 1/2 mile walk to our local community center that has the gym, the partner and I pass by a field with a father and his 8-ish year old son getting ready to set off a rocket. We stop to watch and the rocket jets off into the wild blue. We cheer but quickly quiet down as it lands about 3 blocks away on the other side of a building. The boy just stares. Dad says, "That's gone buddy!" Way to go Dad.

On to the workout:

I left my latest sheet at home that had my last set of weights and reps so I wasn't sure where to start off at. My memory threw some numbers in my head and I noted them on the sheet. As I sit here, I find my original sheet and see I wasn't too far off. Not bad.

Stage 1, WO B #4

Deadlift: W/U 50#/12 S1: 55#/12 S2: 65#/12
Shoulder Press: S1: 12# ea/12 S2: 15# ea/12
Lat Pull Down: S1: 70#/12 S2: 70#/12 (These seem to be so difficult to get pass this weight!)
Lunge: S1: 12#ea./15 S2: 15#ea./15
Crunches: S1: 10#/15 S2: 10#/15 (Didn't realize I was only supposed to be doing 10 reps)

I can tell that I have not had enough to eat today. My head hurts and I felt cranky right after walking out of the gym. My calorie tracking says less than 1450 calories. I can so feel a difference when I don't eat enough. Mmm... big fat chicken and black bean burrito waiting for me.
