Rest day.. DONE!
Body Beast Shoulders... DONE!
So I have completed one week of the body beast rotation. It was fun! I am definately feeling it. but in a good way. I love lifting, of course, so this is right up my alley! The shoulders I feel were a bit overdone, I always paired up back and bis, chest and tris, shoulders and calves. Doing nothing but a shoulder workout seems overkill. However, I did it, and didn't die.
I do feel the workouts not only in the targeted muscle, but also in the surrounding muscles. Oh, I forgot I added on "beast abs", but I think I will do a Firm ab or abs of steel workout instead. I don't like planks, and he did quite a few planks. I guess I am old school abs
I pretty much found all my weights correctly this week. I didn't have on my workout sheets many "increase weights" notes. So that's good!!
So the puppy is home. I was so stressed out the first evening he was home because the vet tech that discharged him told me to sling his back legs with a towel (around his middle) to help him walk outside. I took him out about 8pm, which the vet closed at 8pm, and realized he can't pee or poop if I am holding him up!! PLUS, he kept licking his wound, which is uncovered, and when I put the cone of shame on him, he was so confused I thought he'd hurt himself more. Then he wouldn't go into the kennel we got for him (a large cage type kennel)... it was so stressful. It was just me and LB trying to figure it all out.
Yesterday morning I got to talk to the vet, and he told me the sling is just to help him up and get him down things he may tumble on, other than that, once he's stable just let him try to walk. So much less stress!!! Yesterday was smoother. The carpet I ordered arrived, so i put it down and now he has a bigger area to lay down on.
Lb's birthday was yesterday, so since I felt better about the puppy I let her have some friends over, as long as they stayed outside. They would ask to come in to potty, and I would walk them in so the puppy didn't get too excited and jump up on the 3'-ish fence we have around him. I was happy to have friends over though!
So LB played and had a great day. I got an ice cream cake and she and her friends ate that, so it felt a little more birthday party.
My sisters decided since we can't do the big birthday bash we always throw this year, they would come down and surprise her next Saturday. Well, I forgot LB can see my messages on her iPad, and she came out talking about her party next Saturday. I said "Honey, I told you we can't because the government said we can't have gatherings over 10 at a public space". She was all confused. then it dawned on me she was reading our messages
So it will be a surprise/not a surprise. I have invited a few other families over (the neighborhood kids we had over yesterday, and one of her bestie friends from town) so it will be a great party!!
the puppy should be healed more by then. Although he still won't be able to jump or run or play or do anything, at least I won't be quite as worried as I was/am now.
Ebianco: I used to drink so much water! I seriously drank so much I got a 64 ounce water bottle so I didn't have to refill all the time. Now the 64 ounce water bottle sits. I need to get back to it. I don't know why I fell off the water wagon.
I am totally enjoying Body Beast!! I am a heavy lifter for my upper body. I have always enjoyed lifting upper body. I hate lifting legs, I think because I get so out of breath! I am not a cardio lover.
I'll have to check out those Linda's. I'll probably pass them onto my sister who loves/hates Linda!!
Eventmom: No worries on not asking about the puppy. You know I would catch you up anyhow!
He is overjoyed to be home. The older dog is ecstatic to have him here too. Overall, the pack is back together, which makes everyone less stressed!
