Oops

Damn...I was going to delete my diet blog and accidently deleted my training blog.

Sigh...well it's ok as everything is in it's infancy still in most ways.

Anyway....I'm going to get serious again about the warrior diet. I'm going to have to make sure to feast at night to maintain my weight. That will take the most getting used to.

New training blog up. :)

Margaret is away

I drove Margaret to the airport tonight so she can fly to Arizona for more work training.

Got everything done I needed to today. Except I think I need to eat some more :).

Got the email that my kettlebell shipped.

New kettlebell ordered

Pistols felt good today. I can feel myself getting stronger all the time now.

Won an auction on eBay for a 53 lb Dragondoor kettlebell. Used my Paypal coupon for eBay purchases of 10% off to get it shipped for $121. Oh yeah.

Another day down

Taking it day by day, set by set, rep by rep is what it's going to take to get where I want to be. Today I got everything I wanted to do.

Wrist is getting better. Since my lat pull may take a while to go away I'll start pushups again this next week on my non-kettlebell days.

I have a real tight muscle in my lower back right next to my spine that I suspect is a victim of the deadlifting on Friday. It didn't stop me from doing anything today includings swings so I'll just pay attention to it. Foam roller work and an epsom salt bath tonight should get everything nice and relaxed.

Sick but working through it

Still fighting this cold but I haven't missed anything major at this point. My wrist is also feeling better every day now that I'm just letting it chill out.

PS3 has returned to me!

Good day except I'm getting a cold.

I got my PS3 back today from Sony. I think it was an exchanged unit...what is awesome is that I just put in my 16 gig thumbdrive where I backed up my PS3 before I sent it in and it restored everything to exactly the way it was. Even the hardware address of the wireless connection! Great stuff.

I told myself that there was no way I was going to play any games on it until I did my workout though. No distractions from the goals.

I'm done now so later will be some Tiger Woods 2008.

Good day

Great day today. Walked the dogs over at Stanford in the morning. Got my workout done in the afternoon. And Margaret made a killer meatloaf dinner for me. Everyone is happy!

My back is feeling better all the time but now I've got a tweak in my left wrist. The hypchondriac in me worries that something might have torn, but I'll just assume it was over use by the clapping pushups I did the other night. No use worrying at this point I'll just see how it goes for a while.

Time to get consistent

I finally had a chance to get some training yesterday. I had it scheduled to meet Jordan Vezina from Average to Elite over a month ago but tweaking my back put it off until now. It took much longer than I expected but I'm learning that I really need to be patient.

Right away when I started my swings Jordan said, "stop, I see how you hurt yourself." which was funny because I had been trying to convince myself that it wasn't my swing form that had done it. I was of course fooling myself and having someone experienced lay what I needed to do so my form was correct is just what I was looking for. I had been leaning back with my torso a bit at the top of the swing and once it was pointed out to me it was clear as day. Jordan was great to learn from. A nice guy to boot.

I have what I think is a pretty good idea of the routine that I would like to set up for myself. I'll start posting my new routine and what I'm getting out of it shortly.

My back is much better now aside from that healing kind of ache that I get occasionally but now my left wrist is sore. This is the wrist that I've had two surgeries on and I think it is complaining about the clap pushups I tried a week ago. I'm listening to my body though and I'll take it easy on my wrist as much as possible.

Time to wash the dogs before I get dressed and head to a wedding for some friends of Margaret and me.

Life is good!
