Week 68.1

Home-ish Stretch
Well, this weekend will be my big vert test after 8 weeks of plyometric/weights training. I'm taking this week "off". But that means I'm still jogging, which isn't ideal, and I'm trying to play basketball on wednesday. I really should be playing ball 3x this week. But lemme tell you, I have so much going on in my life, that's a joke. In case I haven't fully explained my constraints.

1. workout = 1-2 hours, 3-4x a week
2. day job = 9-11 hours a day
3. sometimes night job = 1-3 hours
4. pregnant wife needs love and attention
5. house hunting

Then there's usual bills and chores and stuff. I'm not saying I'm a martyr, I'm just saying I've clearly made the choice to prioritize other aspects of my life before ballin'. What's sad is I want the dunk so bad, I'm even willing to play regular ball, despite the 50% chance I injure myself and derail the whole thing. Time's running out, and I'm willing to "pull the goalie".

I'm also focussing extra hard on eating salads this week. My weight was down to 190, but after this bbq birthday weekend especially, i'm back up to 194. If I could get below 190, that will help a lot.
