Looking down the Week
Setting some cadence, here’s what I’d like to accomplish this week:
- Tasks
- Make plan for improving insulation
- Sew button back on padded shirt
- Book optometry appointment
- Exercise
- Lift every weekday
- Play basketball with RN at UCSF
- Get membership at Mt Madonna YMCA (Tues)
- Cooking
- Tues: Glazed tempeh strips
- Thurs: Beans / grilled veggies / salad
For lifting, today was shoulders. I upped the weights a bit too much and dropped reps, but if I stick with it I’ll get up to 10 reps by two weeks out. Overhead press in particular should be dropped to 95lbs next week so I can fill in the last set. Reverse flies and lateral raises are getting sloppy as I push the weight, so in particular will continue to focus on form.
