pretty much trying to do cardio for the next couple weeks.

Friday evening

35is min in the gym, 20-25 min jump rope, 10 min stairclimber. I was soaked when I left the gym.

yesterday (Saturday):

Hung out with the folks on the family farm. got there mid moring, and left mid evening. I was DONE at the end of the day. AND I WAS JUST GARDENING. lots and lots and lots of bw squats and deadlifting small weights from the ground hammered in some stakes with a 12 lb sledge (overkill? I think so).

My 71 year old dad is teh man. He was at it before I was, and working hard when I left. Did it yesterday and will be working again tommrow.

hrm sherdog ate my last entry, good thing it was simple:

30 min on treadmill, 3 miles, kept it on an incline, 3 walk breaks.

harder than the last time I've hopped on the treadmill but I haven't done any LSD running on a treadmill in a long long time.

bunch of packing and moving stuff around for the fiance, bunch of trips up and down stairs to throw stuff out for her. the a walk for 1.5k

sincerly don't think any lifting will happen 'til Sunday at the earliest.

Wednesday and Thursday. Moving. the future wifes stuff. I'm sore.

So I've moved 70% of my things into the house (and all of my wife's stuff) and got married in the last two weeks.

There was a lot of physical activity moving, and since the wedding lots of hip thrusters but the diet has not been clean at all. fast food and restaurant food very often and weird intervals and not much water.

I plan to get right back into a schedual.

Monday Aug 11th

This morning 25 min of walking on the treadmill. (I hope to do this every week day for a half hour. depending on energy levels it will be a walk to a run or mix it up between.).

After work 3 hours of yard work, digging up plants, digging a hole for a post of the deck (the father in law is building it in the day, but he did ask that I do that). moving top soil from a garden that was where the new deck is going to be to another garden.

Today:

no formal workout but a brutal day of working on building a deck most of the morning and afternoon, then in the evening I was asked to put in hay with my family on the farm.

I'm now sitting typing after eating two whooper meals from BK... and small Mcflurry from McD's and now sipping on a beer... go me...

Super set between chin ups and rows (with 135)

thoughts about tonights workout:

I am really happy I was able to to get in the work I was, the gym closed on me, I did this in about 45 min.

My ass and fore arms started hurting on the drive home after the gym.

I'm thinking about using 35's as the largest 'denomination' when deadlifting. I'll still try to work up to same weight moved but I will be starting lower off the ground. that should be harder.... I think.

If anyone knows different let me know!
