Oh. I'm kinda tired.
Last night was awesome cause I came home from a super long day at work (my last customer took forever to pick a damn shoe) and I just cuddled/rough housed with my husband on the couch. He was hungry so we went and got some tasty mexican food. I really gotta stop eating so bad. I'm just too lazy to cook things and I love food. Most often the food wins.
Today was my day off so I rolled out of bed late, got to the gym at the sprightly hour of 10am.
Did a few different things today
- Close grip bench press. 75 lbs, 3 sets of 10. Not used to doing these so it was interesting
- Push presses. Been awhile since I worked on these. 50 lbs
- Push ups to failure. Literally, to muscle failure. Yowza. First set was 17, then 11, then 9.
- Overhead tricep presses, 25lbs. Haven't done them in awhile cause I don't really like them, but wanted to change it up from my usual skullcrushers, tricep dips, and pulldowns.
My arms are like noodles after all that.
Also did some flys, front raises, single arm presses, leg raises, kettlebell cleans, jump rope, and no burpees cause I literally couldn't do the push ups. I was so damn tired at the end of this. Then around 3pm I got super sleepy and haven't really recovered. Should have taken a nap but I didn't want to? I don't know. All I know is I'm tired and I have earned a good night's rest.
I have to go work in Rockville for this week's remaining shifts. Not looking forward to it. It's 45 minutes away and traffic is shitty. I like my store and my coworkers. Their people aren't as fun - in fact, one of them seriously said this to describe a customer - "He's hoping to do a marathon in the fall, but he might not be able to work his mileage up to that level so let's just stick with a less cushioned shoe" Uh, what? You're supposed to say "Yes, you can ABSOLUTELY do that marathon!" So I kind of saved the moment for the customer and said "Oh you have plenty of time to train, and we're gonna do our best to help!" That didn't sit well with me and just shows the difference between their store's and my store's attitudes. But evidently I impressed the regional manager so much that they requested me to come help out. And still, I have a good job that I enjoy so I can't complain too much.
Then I think this weekend we are going to VA Beach to see my husband's stepsister so probably no long run for me, but that's ok. Life is more important sometimes.
Worked out!
