Body Beast chest... DONE!
Firm Standing Legs... DONE!
I took Sunday off to build the garage, and we went out about 7am. I put a whole pallet of blocks onto a dolly and set them closer to the building area, so that was a bit of a workout. The dolly has one flat tire, so I'll add that as a resistance workout!
Monday I did beast chest, and LB came out during my last few sets. I was previewing UFCFit stretch, so she did some of the stretches. I also had her count my reps on the close grip push up with a fly, and decline push ups. I felt like I worked out really hard, and today I am definitely feeling the muscles in my chest, so that's good!!
Today was legs, and although I pulled out my leg sheet, I also got Firms standing legs and figured I'd do the warmup, because with my knee being so sore I wanted a good warmup. I would do the warm up, then when I didn't want to do standing legs anymore, I'd go to my body beast legs where I can push hard then slack a bit. Instead, I did all of standing legs!! It was fun! I wore my 20 pound weighted vest for the whole thing. I think next time when they say to pick up weights, I will add in my 3's or 5's. I worked on form and focus. The step ups got grueling, and I paused after one of the volume 1 sets about 30 minutes in to walk around a bit. I made it though! I used my pink ankle weights, which are about 3 pounds each I think, and put them on and took them off and put them on and took them off... which was a workout in itself how many times they do that.
I did the whole workout!! I was happy to see the stretch though. My knee is really sore, it doesn't hurt to touch, and when I workout it feels fine. It's mostly when I rest and try to bend and extend it. that lets me know it's muscle/ligament. I am wrapping it and putting dit da jow on it (I still have some from probably 10 or 15 years ago I'm using) and hoping something works. I will admit I have woken up at least once a night when I move because it's so achey. It's not hurting, just aching. The whole knee just aches. I am not ready to see a doc yet, but if it keeps up I might. I am guessing arthritis has caught up with me since it has always been the knee I have injuries on.
. Getting older stinks.
So when I came out, the puppy was outside with a dead bunny in his mouth
I got him to drop it and leave it (surprisingly!) and covered it with a plastic bin. I am so glad he dropped it when I asked him to. I was afraid I was going to have to chase around the dog with a dead bunny. the dogs love to chase the bunnies, and sadly I think he killed it. I am so sad!!! I don't mind them chasing the bunnies, but I don't want them hunting the bunnies!! I have to take a deep breath, and it has taken me a long time to separate out that the wild bunnies are prey and food and domestic bunnies are different, but it's still hard for me.
I had to then catch the puppy and put him on the back deck, and wash off the blood off his legs so he doesn't lick it off and continue to get the taste of blood. I don't want a hunter on my hands. I do know akitas are hunters, but so far we've been lucky not to have one that hunts our bunnies in the yard. Ugh.
I don't even know what to do to stop him once he starts. Hopefully the bunnies will just see the danger and abandon our yard on their own. ugh.
Yesterday we got everything we needed to do done.... swim lessons, school, violin, train horse, and then we spent the early evening until 7 (when they close) at urban air with friends. It was a good, tiring day!!
There was a flipped car at the entrance to our neighborhood, which was apparently stolen, and the driver was arrested. The passenger, who was wearing a black shirt, ran away. It happened at like midnight, and they didn't catch the passenger. So I told DH about it this morning, and jokingly said "watch for a guy in a black t-shirt on your way to work." Well sure as shooting, he got to the post office at the bottom of the hill and there was a guy in a black t-shirt talking to the postal lady when she got to work!!! Luckily she was in her car, and DH pulled into the parking lot. He said the guy had his arms inside his shirt, visibly cold, and asked DH if he could use his phone. DH said he rolled up his window and called 911. Within minutes the sheriff came and they arrested the guy.
I am really impressed!! I am grateful he had to go to work today so he could help the post office lady out (we have 3 in our PO and they have been there a long time) and also so they could get that guy.
So it's only 8:39am and already it's been an exciting, weird day!!
Today we have swim, and my check engine light came on and my "turbo" doesn't work so I am going to my mechanic to get the engine codes to see if he can fix it or if DH can. I can still drive it, I don't need turbo, but it does need to be fixed. As much as I love my car, it has been kinda squirrly lately and I don't want to get to the point where I am concerned it's even gonna turn on in the morning. Hopefully this is my last issue and we can fix it fairly cheap.
Waves to you guys, I hope you are having a great week so far!!
