(FRIDAY - August 4) NO rest for the weary.

 --> So, I began my morning, first at ~5:45 am, by WALKING to my toilet to urinate.  I WALKED to my sink to wash my hands before WALKING to my bed.

--> Next, I moved on to winning several games of Minesweeper.

(The game helps me relax & get into the right frame of mind.)

--> First, I got [temporarily] distracted by a classic film ('Saw') on television.  Then, I started more BOOK writing.

(... almost five FULL pages of MY book #19.)

_______________________________________________________

--> My trainer & I agreed to work me HARD in my penultimate (second to last) workout before my peg tube change next Tuesday.  Thus, ...   

I performed my customary amountS ... with my typical resistanceS ... for my usual number of repetitions:

-- Walking on the parallel bars forward (2 laps), backwards (2 laps) and sideways (just 1 lap)

   ... 30 calf raises

-- 20 bicep curls on left arm with 10 lb dumbbell

-- 30 regular bicep curls and 20 hammer curls on right arm with 15 lbs 

-- 10 isomeric leg extensions with my trainer's resistance on the left leg

-- HIP-ups: 140 total but 90 reps then rest and then 50 reps

(I again tied my RECORD-HIGH!)

-- Tricep extension 2 sets each arm 

   ... 1 set of 20 reps & 1 set of 15 reps on the left side--both with 10 lbs 

   ... 2 sets of 15 reps on the right, but 1st set was with 15 lbs and the 2nd set was 10 lbs 

-- 30 ball hamstring curls with 2 legs but also single leg hamstring curls 20 reps with each leg

-- ~15 minute BIKE ride

__________________________________________________

--> POST-workout & -shower, I debated whether to write more.  After sorting through any & all television shows presently available, I decided to write ... poetry.

   ... I shaN'T lie: When the best shows I could find were 'Moulin Rouge' or reruns of 'Whose Line is it Anyway?' I'd already seen [umpteen times over], I decided to write another ... eh, three quarters of a chapter ... of my book.

(The morning is REEEEEALLY MY primetime for writing ... BOOKS.  I am too easily distracted.)

(TUESDAY -- August 1) BACK to the YOOJH!

--> So, I began my morning, first, by catching up on a few emails.  (SIMPLE correspondence)

   ... Next, I WALKED my [typically ~40 so today was] 38 FOOTSTEPS to MY toilet to urinate.

   ... After STANDing to wash my hands, I returned to my bed to write more.

(No matter how effort-FULL I may try, I just canNOT stop my mind from meandering.)

_______________________________________________________

--> So, my trainer has returned from his brief vacation to continue with my workoutS.  I performed my customary amountS ... with my typical resistanceS ... for my usual number of repetitions:

-- Walking on the parallel bars forward (2 laps), backwards (2 laps) and sideways (just 1 lap)

   ... 30 calf raises

-- 20 bicep curls on left arm with 10 lb dumbbell

-- 30 regular bicep curls and 20 hammer curls on right arm with 15 lbs 

-- 10 isomeric leg extensions with my trainer's resistance on the left leg

-- HIP-ups: 140 total but 90 reps then rest and then 50 reps

(I again tied my RECORD-HIGH!)

-- Tricep extension 2 sets each arm 

   ... 1 set of 20 reps & 1 set of 15 reps on the left side--both with 10 lbs 

   ... 2 sets of 15 reps on the right, but 1st set was with 15 lbs and the 2nd set was 10 lbs 

-- 30 ball hamstring curls with 2 legs but also single leg hamstring curls 20 reps with each leg

-- NO BIKE ride 'cuz of rain

   ... REPLACEMENT: I performed halVES of chest-press -- 15 SOLO repetitions of a 20 lb dumbbell with my right arm & 15 assisted repetitions with my leftie.

        ... EXCELLENT new addition--as a substitute!
