Day 86 - D'oh!!

Having a total blonde day and it isn't even lunchtime yet.

Got up super early to do my skipping and super-sets. I was such an eager beaver. Skips fine - nothing out of the ordinary for a pre-breakfast tripskip-fest.

Then I discovered a new way for my chest dips. I normally use two of the dining chairs but I also use these for the incline pull-ups with my trusty broom-handle. So while getting ready for the super-set, I realised that the high chair tray and the dining table are about the same height and give me enough clearance to do a half decent dip. The added bonus is that my hands are on a flat surface and not clinging onto the thin tops of the dining chairs which hurts my hands. Super-set 1 - check!!

Then I set up for the next ones - pulldowns and ovations. When I got to the end I realised that half way through I had changed to shoulder flys rather than pull-downs for some unknown reason. Perhaps as I was doing shoulder flys last night and I went into auto pilot. Whatever the reason, I then decided to do the super set again, this time with the correct pair of exercises. D'oh!! 

For the third super set, I used my old bands for the curls and my new bands in the door for the ski-jumper. It takes me too long to put the band in the door frame so I needed to just go straight from one exercise to the next. Super set 3 - done and dusted.

By this time I am knackered as I had powered through everything on an empty stomach and only minimal water and minimal sleep. I only managed 3 sets of the abs super-set before Max woke up. But if I am perfectly honest, I doubt I could have done another one. The v-sits were failing at under 20 reps and I wasn't able to do more than a minute on the planks. If I feel up to it, I will give the abs another run after work.  (hhmm  perhaps not likely)

Overall, I really enjoyed the super sets today. I powered through them.

Then breakfast routine and out the door to daycare. I left my phone at home and had to go back and get it. I met my Japanese teacher this morning (I am trying for 2kyu this year) and I was totally useless. I was yawning and spacing out for the entire time. Coffee of no help. Then I left my bento box behind and had to go back for it. Useless.

I really need more sleep I guess if I want to get up for early super sets.
