Yawn… tired, tired, tired.  I ended up getting and spreading another 6 bags of pine bark mulch.  If it goes on sale at the end of the season I’ll likely get another 6 bags, but for the moment it will do.  I really don’t think we put any extra down last summer, so it’s not as bad as I thought.

Nothing much to say about today.  Walked in the morning, got the mulch, spread it around, did my final break-in workout, trimmed a few plants, did a little weeding / watering, made dinner and did some cooking for Thursday’s dinner (cherry ketchup).  That’s about it.  Come to think about it I don’t know why I’m so tired.

NROL - Break-in B5

I did a 5-min cardio warm-up outside followed by 10 reps each of the prescribed warm-up (except for the t-push-ups - can’t do them). Then I did:

A: Deadlift - 75t/15, 80t/15
B1: Step-up - 15e/15, 15e/15
B2: Dumbbell one-arm shoulder press - 25e/15, 27.5e/15
C1: Chin-up (assisted/attempts) - 15, 15
C2: Reverse Crunch - 20, 20

Then I did the metabolic overdrive intervals - 3, with 5-min warm up and cool down. (19 mins total)

53 mins, 378 cals, Max HR: 165 (93%), Avg HR: 127 (72%)

That’s the last workout from the Break-in, so will be starting Fat Loss II on Sunday.  We’re having company for lunch so I can’t decide if I should get up early for it, or hope that they don’t leave too late and do it in the afternoon.  Probably will do it in the morning (even though I hate AM workouts).

I only looked at the routine briefly today.  I’m not sure what I can sub in for the wide-grip cable seated row.  I’ll have to think about that before Sunday…
