Waiting For A Rest Day and A Few More Random Acts of Fitness
Thursday, November 30, 2023
Autographs are available for $5 each from 1pm to 2pm today. Ha! Had a blast yesterday at work just being my goof ball self. Yesterday was the annual Christmas Golf Cart Parade and a few of us from the department got to dress up as Christmas Presents and walk in front of Santa. We spent hours on a dance move, well five minute of practice. I work with a great bunch of people. My Co-Workers are amazing and work so hard.
See that 18% Recovery! My body needs rest. Tomorrow is now a REST DAY! Going to sleep in, eat lots of carbs and head down in the afternoon for the Florida Senior Games in the Tampa area. I only have two events so the weekend will be like a Recovery Weekend! Time to reset!

THURSDAY - BACK AND BICEPS
THE BREAKDOWN:
PULL UPS - A few more reps! PROGRESS!
BICEP PREACHER CURL - DOH! Just showing up is PROGRESS.
LAT PULLDOWN - More Reps! PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD
CABLE ROW - MORE REPS!
CABLE HAMMER CURL - Went down in weight. And that is OK!
OVERALL: My biceps just did not want any part of this workout. It was my body telling me I need my rest day. Everything is OK! My Back movements killed it! My Biceps movements need more recovery time. I'm not weaker it's a taper. Yeah a Taper, that's the ticket. Tapering for Senior Games this weekend.
THE SPIN CYCLE:
NONE
THE WET NOTE
NONE. Will probably skip my planned Friday swim as I need the recovery day. The heats sheets for this weekend's Florida Senior Games are out. I seated first in my events mind you it's a very small meet. In both events I'm the only one in my age group and in one I think there are only four of us. But it'll be a fun weekend!

IN MY HEAD:
I am a ham! I love getting up and teaching group exercise classes, talk to groups and just be a big ol' goof ball!
What did you do at work today? Me: Not much. Just dressed up as a Christmas present and acted like a goober. pic.twitter.com/fAaZZxeY9C

THE BOOKSHELF:
Yesterday I did read my three daily reads. It's okay to be just okay and it's okay not to be okay. At the end most days are better than others so it all ends up to be OK. Even if I keep failing to read my goal of 20 pages a day I still lug the book I'm "reading" around and will bring it with me this weekend.
Today’s Daily Read from @RyanHoliday was also summed up by @ddlovato and @marshmello ‘s song OK Not to Be OK https://t.co/H6ZhURYqkW pic.twitter.com/vkEI2oT7eq
