300 – 10%, today is the day, I think

I decided to revisit the 300 workout for the first time in two months yesterday.  I have felt low energy and weak so why not do a 300 to burn up the cobwebs?  Whew it kicked my ass.  For the first time since last November I actually did some of each exercise for a total of 270 reps.  I cut back on the pull ups and a little bit on the c & p’s but otherwise I did the the full 50 reps on everything else.  It felt good to do it at the time.  My back is aching pretty bad today from the dead lifts.

Last night I got a call from Ali as she was leaving work asking if “we” should work on cleaning out the cabinets and drawers ahead of the counter top install today.  Well she wasn’t leaving work until a little before 8 or so.  Well of course I wasn’t going to wait till she rolled in at 8:30 to get started so I did it. By the time she got home I had just finished pulling the last pot and pan out.  Yes, I was annoyed.

When Ali came in she saw that I already had done the work.  She said that the intention of her call was not for me to do all of it.  Well Ali may very well have not been thinking it consciously but if she knows me at all, which she certainly does after this long, she would know that I would not want to be waiting for her to arrive home hella late to do something like that, especially on a  week night.   It would be like telling Nicki to sit in front of a plate of cat food for an extended period of time. So anyway there was a bit of a sniping session back and forth as a result.  I had a very chaotic day at work as well, it didn’t help things.

So anyway today our kitchen will be transformed.  It is exciting but I am a bit anxious as well about everything going as planned.  I took some before shots last night, hopefully I have some spectacular after shots to post tomorrow.
