another 12+hour day done and over (except for the writing!) and another day I've survived. wahoo. I'm getting used to this crazy schedule. it just takes more discipline. i can do that. i've been doing that since high school. Most of the time i joke that being busy keeps me out of trouble- but i actually think it's true. being busy occupies my time and i'm not just sitting around looking for something/anything to do/farting around.. all of those things i can be realllllly good at, so i need to be careful. :)
today was another up before 6 day followed quickly by practice (which went well- again) and then i actually had over an hour to shower, change, and eat before I had to go back to the Y. I was able to watch a whole episode of Dexter between lifting and shift #2. I was impressed with myself. and back to the Y in plenty of time. I think being busy from dawn to dusk (literally) helps make the time at the after-school site go by really quickly too! It seems to be advantageous to be going going going! hopefully i can keep it up!
i use the slow times during the morning shift to get some planning for the week done ANNNNND i was rolling out while i was doing that. Perfect combo! and it was mutually beneficial. After the intense shift at the Y i headed to practice and was doing more one armed snatch and clean and jerk. those are going well. i'm getting used to the awkward balancing of the one handed exercises and putting more weight over my head each time. Yesterday when I blogged I was talking about staying tight with my lifts and i was focusing on that a lot today. It helped. (another crazy thought!) While i was lifting I was more aware of my head not coming through as i was finishing my lifts. So I have given myself two things to focus on tomorrow: tight and head through. gotta be good at something, right? Being tight and getting my head through are things i can work on now that will translate into my two handed lifting in 12 days.
speaking of two-handed lifting... i was pondering this odd/puzzling fact(?) that I am one armed snatching 90 pound dumb bells.. and if a person were to double that, they'd be at 180... which would be about 82 kilos.. and currently my snatch PR is 72 kilos. umm. is that odd to anyone else? maybe i'd do better just one armed snatching.. lol that would be ridiculous. but just something that crossed my mind today while i was lifting.. and hopefully something i will keep in mind once i'm cleared to lift for real :)
Friday is another front squat to heavy single day and Ellyn already told me to get my mind wrapped around 135. So I'm working on that. lots to work on, but i can do it, even if im the only one who thinks its possible. . .
