Nelmsjer's 2006 Journal

Not a great workout today. I got through the sprints fine and actually felt "light" and powerful, but I noticed a dull ache at my hamstring or glute by the time we were finished. So, I did not do the 5 minute cooldown.

Too many things on my mind...

IP has been doing AWESOME and supporting me TONS. She's definitely my support when I put too much pressure on myself, which is really all that I'm doing.

Long story short: we don't have a ton of time left in Iraq. We already have a job lined up for the US (working together again...how freaking cool is that?!!), but I'm a bit of a long-term "dreamer", personality-wise. So, I'm always thinking, developing business plans, researching, etc. Sometimes, I get antsy and want to start executing on the plans...but I can't, yet. The current one I'm considering has amazing potential, but I can't do a single thing about it from where I am.

It's funny. I get myself all spun up, when the reality is that everything will be 100% fine. In fact, everything will actually be amazing, whether I ever pursue something additional or not. It's just that my mind never quits. So, it's not that I'm worrying...it's that I'm frustrated because I'm ready to move on and take action.

Ok, enough of that. This is a weightlifting journal, dammit. This place oozes testosterone, and heavy metal music is blaring. Bars are bending and blood veins are popping out of people's elbows. Records are being shattered, and lives are being changed.

Back to business. And never forget: IP rocks.

hey Mister.....FOCUS ON TODAY.....JUST TODAY

LOL!

I'll try again.

The Monday before our vacation, which was 27 February, we were beginning week 4 (which, now that I am back, I am currently starting this week). Knowing we would not be working out as regularly, I decided to up the intensity and do the Week 4 Friday workout (with triples) on the Monday before vacation...

So, when I came back from vacation, IP and I reversed a little and started at week 2, so that we could ramp up again. So, I am now back at the SAME week 4 that I was on before vacation. Which means that I have already done the Friday workout that is coming up (but I did it 6 weeks ago on a Monday). What I had NOT done is the Monday workout (which I finally did today). So, I had some PRs today for the Monday workout, but I will NOT have any PRs on Friday (because I got them 6 weeks ago), which normally isn't the case.

Additional info: I was 200.4 lbs. today. S L O W L Y leaning out. I'm very happy that I'm power cleaning and jerking greater than bodyweight. I know it's not spectacular, but it's a beginning.

Wow, I had to concentrate to keep this one straight in my head! lol ....but I think I got it.....just don't quiz me!

Ahhhh, the Entrepreneurial mind. The wheels are ALWAYS turning. Drives me NUTS sometimes. I'm always thinking about trying new things!!
