Tuesday January 8

Got up about 9am - early for me but feeling so much better than yesterday. Joy and bliss not to be throwing anything up and no headache. 

Breakfast Part 1: One mango

Breakfast Part 2: 2 x corn thins with ricotta

250 ml water before workout

Okay warm up and workout done - back on track with Tim's schedule. Much easier when you can do all at home with the PT Elf at hand to help and to time the exercises.

A1 Body Weight Squats - all done okay. modified arm position to keep balance.

A2 - Plank - 1 x 15 seconds and then 2 x 20 seconds. Still have to work on upper body strength

B1 - Body weight forward lunge - got these right after the first set with feet in correct position. Left leg forward going down was okay but right leg something was catching and I could not get down as far.

B2 Smith Machine Push Up - did on weights bench proper height and after the initial set slowed them down a bit and evened out to match breathing.

C1 Snatch (by any other name) - all sets done okay and did it with 2 kg weight,

C2 Flutters - after the initial sort out with swiss balls and benches and hand positions - all sets done okay. Found swiss ball was too much and did it on the weights bench.

Stretches done and 500 ml water consumed.

Lunch: 2 x Lamb with potatoes

Afternoon snack: missed

Dinner: Fish with potatoes and lentil dhal

Supper: 2 x corn thins with ricotta. Left  over potatoes from lunch and dinner.

1.5 litres of water consumed at work. Total water for the day is 2.25 litres.

Almost went FUBAR at work as my legs and back decided to give way in the middle of picking up room service trays. Not a happy thought spending my last week at this job on workers' compensation. But after sitting down for a few minutes and a little stretch and a click all was well.

Legs not so sore after work out today.

Glad to hear you're so much better! It sounds like today went really well, challenge-wise.
