At the gym at 5A. Had to move quick to get my workout done and be at the Dentist by 7A for my 6-month checkup.

Not a good workout. Dave even reduced the workout from last week eliminating the 32KG Bulgarian Squats. I am starting to believe that the Squats and Rows on the functional trainer are the issue. I become very dizzy when doing these and in turn start to get sick to my stomach. I think the dizziness is related to the Flomax. I have upped my dosage on that and one of the side effects is being dizzy. I backed the weight down to 40lbs on each arm from 60lbs. That helped a bit, but I still did not get all the sets done. It is really upsetting to have to write down that once again I had a workout I did not complete.

In trying to find the bright side to things my jump rope skills are improving. Able to go much further without my legs starting to hurt and no more “morning after” leg pain as a result of the jump roping.

Circuit – Repeat for 5 total sets with ADEQUATE rest between sets
Functional Trainer Squat to Row (Set at bottom position)
60 lbs – 12 reps
Jump Rope – 30 reps
Alternating Heavy, Medium, Light – KB Snatch
24kg/20kg/16Kg (1 Snatch each = 1 rep) – 3 reps

By a little after 8A I was in my office having done my workout and had my 6 month dental checkup. No cavities. I am set until March ’09.

Aunt Mary is showing no sign of improvement. I fear that soon some very difficult decisions are going to have to be made.

Debbie’s Sister C seems to be doing OK back at work.

  1. sorry to hear about aunt mary. and glade that your wife’s sister is at least doing better. I wouldn’t be to hard on yourself about the workout at least you did something
