New toy

Got a new toy yesterday, an iPod touch. Still messing around with it, but so far it is very cool.

Workout week 4 day 1

Back Squats

90kg x 5 reps x 3 sets back felt fine

then a couple of hours later

21-15-9 reps of

32kg overhead kettlebell swings
Pull Ups
Burpees

all wearing 10kg weighted vest

time 13mins 11secs

Can get this one down a a good bit next time hopefully as I lost a lot of time with lapses in character due to the kettlebell, pull up bar and floor being REALLY cold on my hands

Getting my eating sorted

After the Christmas and New Year festivities, I started to sort my eating out last week. Today tough is the day I start getting strict again. Got the scales looked out, got some good food choices in and ready to rock and roll

Workout week 3 day 5

Shoulder press

52.5kg x 3 reps x 5 sets

40kg x 10 reps ( was supposed to be between 15-20, jumped the weight too much from last weeks 35kg)

A walk in the cold

We took the dog out a walk down to the local woods and then we went to a very old cemetary that is just 10mins from the house. The cemetary is very peaceful but is a old drinking haunt for the local scumbags so lots and lots of the headstones have been pushed over. There are some dating back to the 1890's and some even a bit earlier.

We even found one of someone with the same name as my unlce with the epitaph - Erected in memory of Robert Easton who died in an accident in Dalziel Steel Works aged 14years, January 14th 1898. Some of the head stones have very intricate carving, there is a beautiful Celtic Cross that is in the photo above and some with urns on top. I am going to try and find out some information on this cemetary as I find stuff like this very interesting

Workouts

So yesterday is officially a rest day for me, but Im also taking today off. I had a wee drink or two last night and been eating pretty much anything and everything since yesterday - feel like shit today though.

On my forum, we have a thread started for 2009 training goals, here are some of mine

1- Get back to strict Zone dieting.
2 - Get my PISTOL back
3 - Get my handstand back
4 - a 200kg deadlift - not like this one.
5 - A sub 5min Fran to start with
6 - Keep on the CrossFit Strength Bias programme

got some more but cant remember them just now.

If you read this blog...do you have any training goals?

Happy New Year

Happy New Year from us to you!
