The Survival Workout was less than my best effort today. I started pretty well...83 push-ups and lifted my log more times than I ever had before...but that was about it. I added a new lift...10 clean and jerks with a 50-pound rock. Its great core work...and really total body, including cardio if you put 10 together in quick succession. I was able to climb the swing set post again since the pole was dry...but very cold. I kept bumping up against deer wherever I went, too. At one point, I had eight watching me lifting my rock.
I returned home, plugged in the movie ‘Secretariat’ and began to ride. It’s a great movie and if Holly hadn’t come home, I’d have ridden until the end. Instead, I made it 95 minutes before quitting.
Holly suggested we go someplace good for dinner and I threw out Pizzazz and calzones. It’s not exactly Paleolithic, but I love their Sicilian calzone. I had a diet Pepsi to wash it down and nothing else...so not too heavy on the calories. Tomorrow...Kirtland Country Club for a Christmas party and more temptation. I’ll do my best not to be ‘worthless and weak’.
