So today I ended up fixing a ton of issues at work. I mean a ton. I know sometimes Fridays are like just wishing the weekend would come but for me I ended up getting one thing done after another. By the time I looked at the clock it was nearly 6pm (7pm central). I generally start work at 7am (8am central) so suffice it to say I was a bit shocked at the time.
I ended up going to the gym and it was our last day. (our membership expired). I am not trying to boast but rather document this. I am so proud of myself. In the last year I dropped over 30 lbs. I have maintained that for a few months now. Yesterday I told Samantha I wanted to get our moneys worth so I decided to do an arm and leg day (dumb idea). I did the following:
On the leg press: 10 reps @ 385 then 20 reps @ 445
On the bench press: 20 reps @ 165
On the butterfly press: 30 reps @ 160
On the pulldown: 30 reps of 120
On the pushdown: 30 reps of 140
Then I did the cycle for 20 min.
Yes- my legs are strong but my knees are weak. I try to do the same exercise I had to do in physical therapy when I tore my meniscus all those months ago. Going from a leg press of 25 lbs to 445 is pretty good progress in my book. I used to do more when I was a kid so while it sounds impressive... I'm still working up to what I could do in my 20s.
Ok - enough of the logging of personal stats... this is just for my reference but then again - so is this silly blog. hahaha.
I ended up playing Minecraft when I got home. I'm not a "gamer" so this was just an adult trying to figure out video games that my kids play. I don't know how to do anything but dig so the kids taught me a few things on how to make tools and I ended up digging to an underground cavern with a lava lake. I was like wow!... that is cool. I can see how kids want to keep playing this stuff. So I looked at the clock - 11:35pm. I'm off to bed.
