Fundraiser

I'm doing a fundraiser to help with costs for competitions, training, etc., through Tastefully Simple again. If any of you are interested in ordering any items, my mom's site is tastefullysimple.com/web/cfigley. You can view all the items on there and submit orders as well. Orders can be submitted through December 15th. I'm having a taste-testing next Saturday from 11-2 at the Shamrock, if any of you that are close enough would like to attend. If you can't come, say prayers for a good turnout please. :)

Cory had been tentatively coming home today. But, he got sick when he tried to eat this morning. The doctors said that he isn't tolerating food well enough, so they're going to shoot for sending him home on Monday. Say extra prayers for that. I'm sure that spending a holiday in the hospital was not a good deal. He's been in long enough and everyone's ready to have him home.

It's a good day to just skip talking about the workout ;) Wasn't what it should have been. I'm really having a hard time getting the hang of the 'speed' part. And, I don't really have a reason that it's so hard for my brain to comprehend....it just is. That's frustrating, cuz I don't know what to fix. Brian apologized today for 'being hard on me'. But, I told him that's his job. Maybe he needs to be hard on me a little more often.

Bench Speed Drill - 105 lbs. 3 sets of 3 with all 3 grips. I did the sets of regular grip with two chains. But, Brian was very unhappy about how it was going :( So, he took a chain off. Bummer. I finished the drill with one chain.
Close Grip was off too. Worked up to 135 lbs. but only got 4 today. I was rocking a little bit, from side to side, and I was having trouble hitting my chest where I'm supposed to. I have no idea why.
Tricep Pushdowns - 90 lbs., 10. 100 lbs., I did a set of 10, Brian helped with the last few. Then we did quick sets like last week at 80 lbs., 70 lbs., 60 lbs., & 40 lbs. and the lighter it got, the more reps I did.
Front Raises - I hate these. Today Brian had me on an adjustable bench and inclined it just a little, so that when I did it, my body wouldn't pull forward as badly. THEN he got real brave and told me to use both arms at the same time instead of alternating. I did it, and it worked, and I didn't move as much as I usually do. But I still hate them. Oh...I did 3 sets of 10 with 15 lbs.
Blackburns - 5 lbs., a set of 15.
Reach-Ups - a set of 25 and a set of 35.
Skipped Medball Bounces. We were very low on time and Brian wanted to be able to stretch me :-)
