Feeling better today blues-wise, though my guts have not been good for about a week. Bubbly. Unpleasant. My workout this week is a little off — life got in the way yesterday so instead I’m doing upper body today, and I’ll do lower body tomorrow. Just scooting these one day over on the calendar. Life. Anyway, today I did:
Warm up: 20 arm swings on both sides
Warm up: 20 arm-against-wall raises
| exercise | last time | TODAY |
|---|---|---|
| 2-armed kettlebell floor presses (goal 15 one-armed) | 25 2-armed | 4 one-armed!!! |
| plank | 75 | 80 |
| tricep pulls | 13 | 14 |
| Russian twist | 30 (without kettlebell) | 20 (with kettlebell) |
| pushups | 6 | 7 |
| side planks | 13 | 14 |
When I was doing the floor presses, my arms looked like the videos of you and Tom when you’re lifting at the very edge: there is wobbling going on, and it’s SUPREME WORK. And I’m screaming vile prayers out loud during plank with great force, trying to get to the end of each one. 
Today I found that singing along [loudly] to Up Against the Wall Redneck Mother really does help.
I had to sit on a cushion to do the Russian twists with the kettlebell, otherwise it felt (and sounded) like I was grinding my tailbone into the floor. It may have made it a little bit harder, because I was having to work a little harder to stay stable on a cushion. But good me! Actually, this was the first time that a crunch-kind of thing felt hard in the same way the others feel hard.
