Then, it was off to the in-laws to load up some wood (They had 5 trees cut down… We’re getting it one tree at a time…) Brought that home, and unloaded it. Then off to some pet stores to get toys for our newly arriving puppies (1 Rottweiler and 1 black Lab). Loaded up on groceries and protein powder (Costco had a 6 lb bag of EAS Premium Protein for $30).

Still not at 100%, but hit bi’s and abs. It’s a bit different with the "other half" coming along, but fun. She’s at least asking questions, like why and how, for different exercises. Also, got her diet going.

Last night had to be one of my most unusual workouts to date. I was doing my workout at home last night, due to inclement weather, and the power went out. Now, there’s not much I can do about not having lights and heat, and I was just beginning workout. So, I decided to just keep on going. If anything, it was going to keep my warm. *L*
Legs:
Squats:
2 sets of 25 at 150
2 sets of 50 at 200

3 sets of 50 at 100
Single leg calf raises:

Lunges:
1 set of 100 with 25 lb DB’s
Not a lot of weight, but the reps gave me a killer burn and pump.

Well, let me tell ya… These past few days have damn near set me on my ass…
For starters, my best friend, who is pretty near like a biological brother died twice in 24 hours… He’s a truck driver, with typical truck driver mentality… Eats greasy food at home and on the road… Drank Red Bull, Monster, Mountain Dew, and coffee at every turn… And exercise was the PlayStation… He’s 36, and just had a heart attack right before the Holidays… Had chest pain on Sunday, and didn’t bother to tell anyone… They did his strees test on Friday, and before they even touched him his heart rate was 202… They gave him some meds to slow his rate down, and he Coded… They got him to the cardiac unit, and had to defibrillate him after he got there… Well, after the 3rd try that worked… Saturday, I went to dinner at "Famous Dave’s" and many cows died in my honor… *L* Then we went to the hospital and saw my buddy, and after they kicked us out at 8:30 PM, we made our way downtown to the "Theater" where we saw Jeff Dunham… (He’s a comedian who uses puppets in his act, and is funny as hell….!!!!) So we got home at 1:15 AM, and hit the bed… We got up early in the morning and did dishes, laundry, housecleaning, etc… And found out our company wasn’t coming just before SuperBowl kickoff… But, anyhow… The Giants ended the Patriots "streak", and I’m a VERY happy boy… *L* (And yes, it’s the same MOMO from right before Christmas that didn’t freakin’ learn…)
