Overboard!

Well, now I can officially tell you that Brian was my overboard-on-gifts person this year. :) I couldn't wait, I took everything today, even though I'll see him again tomorrow. lol. I made him a 'gratitude' jar. I think he liked it. He opened it and pulled one of the sayings out, so that's usually a pretty good sign that it wasn't just put aside. (I gave him more than that...if you're wondering how a jar is going overboard. But, that's what I was happiest to give him. I like to give stuff that actually came from my heart and that I deliberately thought about and spent time on.)

I found a quote that related to a reason that I'm thankful for him, for every day for a year and put them all in a jar. Actually, I found enough for more than a year. There's like 15 extras. I put the quote in one color and then I thanked him for something in another color right after the quote. I was really excited about it. It'd take forever to tell him everything that makes me so grateful to have him. So, that was a way to tell him when he has the time to take a look. Doesn't matter if he does it all at once or really pulls one out every day till next year, he has it and he can know now how thankful I am that he's my trainer.

Anyway, really good day again:
Cambered Bar Rows - 85 lbs., 12. 95 lbs., 4 sets of 8.
Dumbbell Rows (single-arm) - 35 lbs., 25 & 20. each arm.
Shrugs - 95 lbs., 3 sets of 12.
Pull-Ups - 3 sets of 8...Brian kinda helps me with these...but it still really works my back well, how we have figured out to do it.
Face-down Inclined Lateral Raises - 15 lbs., 3 sets of 12...had some trouble w/ sliding with these. Not sure why...didn't make me happy...maybe use a strap next week.
Inclined Cable Bicep Curls - 40 lbs., I think I did 3 sets. Of 12. Brian has a lot of fun w/ those straps of mine. He gets me rigged up pretty good now. My cousin, Darlene, has made a couple more for us, so he's able to strap me down real well. It works out well for these.
Chops - 30 lbs., 2 sets of 15.

Stretching!!!!!!!! :-D Can never be too excited about stretching.

Going in tomorrow for abs & drills as always, and I think we're going to do some more cardio stuff. Brian keeps saying he has more ideas, so we'll see if we experiment more or just do what we did yesterday. Should be a riot, either way. ;-) I'll probably blog again Saturday, unless tomorrow is too entertaining to pass up. We're switching, since Christmas is Friday.

OH! I keep forgetting to mention that the ramp at the gym has been neatly cleaned off for me all week, despite the inches of snow we got last weekend :)
