Sunday checkin: I did a much better job of moving more and got 2000 step more per day than last week. I logged something every day and even though one of those days was yard work, it was my toughest day. I am still losing weight but not building muscle as I should. I don't know why I am resisting doing things that make my body feel better - yoga, stretching, weight training. My goal for the week is to make improvement in this area. Get three solid sessions in.

Nate and I went over to Staunton for a ride this morning. It was nice, but they had gotten an inch or so of snow last night, and the steep climb up Borderline was super tough on regular mtb tires in the slushy snow! Stopped and had Mexican food in Conifer on the way home. I love that I splurged and bought him the e-bike for Christmas!! It's going to be so fun to actually get to ride with him when I'm training instead of going our separate ways! Today's ride was some solid type II fun with the snow and slush and steep climb - he would have killed me if I had dragged him on that ride on a regular bike, lol.
Going out to dinner with Kim and Josh tonight for Josh's birthday. Otherwise just making travel plans, doing laundry, and doing some graphic design for the swim team.
So Aspen got waitlisted at *Stanford* of all places. What in the world!? Rejected NYU, then waitlisted Stanford is wild. (Stanford is crazy hard to get into!) I know it's a longshot to get off the waitlist, but it [...]

SUPPLEMENTAL FOCUS
Improvement on Planche - Lean (not coupled with Planche Flat Tuck2 or levers)
*Did a lot of 'muscleup' variations to get used to movement
-XR PPP PLUS - NEED to keep the wrists at or behind the hips so that the feet can lift off. Note, can only do a negative...can' to a rep yet.
-PLANCHE LEAN - had feet on a box, really focused on the lean hence the short holds.
MUSCLEUPS: split between 3 sets of the upward motion from Lsit, 3 sets of XR Negatives (as slow as can through transition) and 3 sets of 'baby' muscleups

Shoulder and back mostly a non-issue on ride. Monitoring both adductors, though.

Actual Footage of my plan for the week going out the window:

Just finished presenting 2 cases in front of about 50 people. BBBLLLLAAAGGGGGHHHHH. Now I am going to go upstairs, get my in order, and take a little break. Between spreadsheet hell and double presentations this week I am exhausted, and I haven't had a moment to do basic things to keep the household running. Washed two rugs but never dried them. Unfolded laundry on the living room floor. Bed is in shambles. Freddie needs to be fed and get his inhaler. 
After my massage with Terrible Tom I am going to run over to Express to return this outfit:

Cute in theory but not flattering on me. Meh.
