P[180]X... Day 9?

I lost count!

Tonight was the shoulders & triceps and abs.
Slow PU: 10
Chair lift: 10
Plange PU: 2.5
Pike press: 5
Side tri rise: 10
Floor fly: 5
Scarecrow: 10
Overhead tri ext.: 10
2 twitch speed PU: 5 push ups
Y press: 15
Lying tri ext.: 15
Side to side PU: 2

Side lean tri ext.: 10 (with 2 weights)
1 arm PU: 0

1 arm balance PU: 8 arms, no push ups

I think I did worse than the first time I did this DVD, but I feel like this time I put in some effort. Also, I used heavier weights.

To make myself feel less disappointed about the ab ripper, I commited to attempting 20 of every thing he did. I made it to the thing where you have extended legs and do a sit up and then on your way down pull up into a v sit. I crapped out during that. I tried doing 15 of everything afterwords, and I think I managed most of those.

Just keep swimming.

In my spare time, I like to read

I read an article in O magazine that talked about how people consider “timing.” They offered a little test to see how you feel about an actual issue: get a friend, hold out your arm and have the friend press on it, have them ask questions involving the issue and timing (will this get done in the next 5 years?), when you tell the truth, your arm will hold strong; when you lie, your arm will falter. She wrote on to say that to get in tune with your emotional timing, be “in the moment” and listen to your pulse. I’ve been pretty neutral about timing. Sometimes I’m on, sometimes, I’m not. But I do have that timing voice telling me something needs to get done, or telling me to be realistic about a situation. Currently, I’ve avoiding ordering more “December” cards at work. I know we need more. I knew we needed more last week. I have to do it today because I have jury duty tomorrow. But I’m afraid to because to order them, I would be making an executive decision. I’m not worried about making the decision, I’m worried I’ll be punished for making an executive decision. It’s not that I’m incapable of making an executive decision. It’s that I’m aware other people think I’m incapable.
Oh Politics.
As a side note, my new Performance Fleece from Old Navy is amazing. Worth the $15 it actually costs, even better that I only paid $5
