I did 30 mins on the treadmill, and blew off the 2nd set to go work outside. For my troubles I got rained on, and didn't get my work in the yard completed either. So, I did some prep stuff for my baking and had an early lunch. I'll probably throw in the missed 30 mins tomorrow morning. In the afternoon I did a 15-min warm-up on the treadmill, followed by:
A: Barbell Squat - 60/8, 60/8, 65/8
B1: Push-up (mixed knees/toes) - 0&8, 0&8, 4&4
B2:
Bent-over Row - 65/8, 65/8, 70/8
C1: Step-up - 17.5e/8, 17.5e/8, 20e/8
C2: Prone Jackknife - 15, 15, 15
Followed with another 15 mins on the treadmill. Today the problem with the squat was getting that 65lbs over my head to start the squat. I've found a very inelegant way to get the bar down after though. And no, I don't mean dropping it.
I thought I might get all the push-ups done on my toes, but I had to split the last set. I have one more shot next week so we'll see how that goes. It won't be until the week after that I'll do the AMRAPs, but I'm thinking about what weights to use. If I remember, the book suggests going back to starting weights, but I think for some it just doesn't make sense. ie. I started with bodyweight squats, so that wouldn't really tell me anything. Same thing with push-ups (started with 60-degree). The truly sad thing is that I'll be lucky to do 15 of the prone jackknife although I did manage all three sets of 15 today without falling off once.
I also got some of my planned baking for tomorrow done today. Yes, more mini loaves from that damn Amish starter. Today it was pecan/raisin and pecan/chocolate (used cocoa powder) with two of the pecan/raisin ones going away tomorrow. Although that leaves me with 8 now in the freezer. The chocolate one probably could have used some sugar, but toasted with a little jam on it should work. So tomorrow it's maybe just a little more of the cracked wheat oatmeal bread and that should keep me going for a little while. If the weather is nice I likely won't be doing any baking but so far the weather report is poor. Might as well do the baking on a poor day and spend the nicer ones outside.
Also, after talking about maybe doing my own cooking for my lunch meat the local grocery store has two good specials this week. So, glutton for punishment that I am, I might go shopping tomorrow or Sunday and have a shot at some lunch roast meats (turkey / beef). I am slightly nuts. However, I know that once the weather gets nicer it will be better to have things put away since I won't feel like cooking much. We tend to go pretty fast to summer here sometimes. Most of the daffodils are out, the tulips are starting, and the cherry tree is in bloom. The cherry tree is at least a couple of weeks early. Here it's a May blooming tree.
That's enough rambling for the evening.
