47 Thousand Things

This morning I did deadlifts again.  Were it not a morning workout I probably would have been dancing with joy.  Instead I grumbled through the whole thing.  In retrospect, it was awesome.  Wonderfully awesome.  There is something inherently satisfying in doing "real" lifts.

x3
20 kb swings

x4
5 floor kiss dls (only 95lbs because it's been a long time, and that's all the weights we have right now.  Boo)

x4
10 strict presses (just the 45lb bar, but that shit sucks, yo)
10 db curls (two 20lbers)

x3
15 per side high to low wood choppers

If you have an iPhone, hit that shit up.  If you don't have an iPhone, join me in the corner, where I'll be sobbing in my coffee.  4realz, though, I'm super jealous.  I could use this kind of shit, but not enough to trade in my lovely phone.  *sigh*

=============================================

I ran three times last week (and just didn't blog about the third time because I am lazy as fuck, yo).  And then I took four days off because I'm lazy as fuck, yo.  And repetitive. 3/7 days isn't terrible, but it's not going to get me where I want to be.  Hmmmmm.

==============================================

In the past two weeks I have....


....acted like a dork at SantaCon



...acted like a dork for my 31st birthday



...played football



...feigned affection for my dog



...threw a party where everyone had to bring a different type of animal.  Which means I ate 17 different types of animal in one night, including alligator, rabbit, snail, and quail.



Life is good.  Life is always good.

  2. A little late so Happy Unbirthday! Some people emulate Audrey Hepburn but I seem to have nominated you as my fashion icon. I don't think I can resist those Black Milk Muscle Leggings any longer. Do you think they run true to size? Are they sweat inducing. Thank you

    1. Mine are size S, and it pulls a little at the seams. I tend to wear small in pants, but I probably could have gone up to a medium.

  4. I'm very seriously considering your friend's app! I'm not going to legit train for anything until after Goofy - which is ridiculously because really I should train for Goofy. But why the fuck would I do that?

    Was alligator chewy? I feel like it would be chewy.

    1. 1. BUY IT NOW!

      2. It was mixed with pork in a sausage form, so I didn't notice any chewy.
