I had quite a jumbled day today. I actually woke up later than usual. In fact two hours later than usual. While my sleep was great I actually had to rush into my tasks. I skipped a couple of my morning tasks so I could get to my first workout at the gym.

My positive experience today was that my friend Sean pointed me towards the dead hang. For the last three years due to excessive weight I was not able to do pullups. I still can’t but I wasn’t doing it right either. I had access to a supported pullup machine but it was not doing me any good. My buddy told me that I was strong I just needed to activate the right muscles in the process. So he told me to start with dead hangs. I actually hadn’t done dead hangs for more than 5 seconds before but today with the right guidance I did 20 seconds! I was stoked because of it! Beyond that I also increased the weights progressively on my other exercises and made some progress there. I also worked on the elliptical for 20 minutes in zones 3 and 4.

When I came home I had lunch and after lunch I got my reading task done. I had taken my progress picture earlier before leaving for the gym. I also caught up on my Duolingo and ASL lessons. I am learning Spanish on Duolingo. After that I started working and made calls for the rest of the day until I went for my walk in the evening. I saw a couple of puppies feasting on a mouse that was caught by their mother. I came home from my walk and finished my gallon of water.

My day was jumbled but I had my bearings straight so I was able to get through it. Day 42 was a success.
