This morning was a wierd morning as I was distracted as hell.  I am stressing over finances and it always screws with my workouts.  I promised the wife I would take the trash can to the road and as I was warming up for squats, it occured to me that I did not get it done.  I ran home, ran back and started the workout.  As always when I am distracted the workout never goes well.  I tweaked my back ever so slightly on my second set of squats and had a “pinch” deep in my right butt cheek the rest of the workout.  I had to adjust accordingly, but I was still able to reach my goal of moving slightly heavier weight on most exercises.

Squats - 335lbs 1×4, 1×5  - Last week 330lbs×5

Lunges 245lbs 1 x 5, 1×4 -  Last week 235 x 6, 240 x 6

Stiff Leg Dead lifts - 315lbs 2 x 6, 345lbs 1×3 - Last week 340lbs 2 x 5

Nutrition: All pre and post workout meal on time.  As per the theme of the day I forgot to bring my pumpkin with me this morning.  So I had a cap full of the Xocai Healthy Chocolate Syrup in its place.  It is the same amount of calories.  Then I had my pumpkin later on the day on top of my pancake.  It was yummy, filling and a nice change of pace.

Cardio - I did 4 sets of wind sprints with the Kettlebells.  I carried the 72lb kettlebells for all the sets, and did a farmers walk with the 72s for the first 2 sets, then see saw pressed the 44s for the second two.  My right butt cheek was pinching me a lot, but I just ran as hard as it would let me.  I followed up the workout with a 1/2 mile run at 6 degrees of incline at 6 mph.

Little Extras - I really needed to tan tonight, but my mind is every where but where it is supposed to be.  Could be the low carbs but I am an emotional roller coaster.  I went from dead asleep on the couch at 2:00pm to feeling like I could take on the world just before doing my cardio, then right back down to feeling like crap before Xanders Graduation, to practically crying when I saw him singing for every one an ad-lib song he was singing on the Kareoke machine.  It was precious.  Needless to say I forgot to tan.  However, I did manage to get some really good moistureizing oil on my skin after Xander and I got showered.  Weird day for sure.  I need to chill out!!
