I'm My Own Client

Tonight marks the first night that I'm officially keeping track of my boyfriend Frank's progress. I'll list my weights first, then his, just to try and make it easier on myself!
SHRUGS:
50lb DB x50 
●●●●●●●●●●
BENCH:
4/1 x10 55lb ▪ 65lb

We both finally decided that we had had enough of our shit and we were both tired of being deadbeats. I thought,  I would never accept this kind of undisciplined behavior from a client (if I actually had one) so why am I accepting it from myself? Frank agreed. So we are making our health and mental wellness a priority.  We're setting a schedule of every other day, we're both keeping a training log and I'm setting up the routine that we'll do. We're keeping things simple and uncomplicated.  It worked tonight. As usual, it's disheartening to see a backslide of any amount, but it's my own fault and my own stupidity. So if I want to bitch someone out for it, I only have to go stand in front of the mirror. Workouts get a little hectic when my daughter and the dog mosey on down to the basement to see what we're doing, but it's ok. There are rules, of course,  but it's never going to be a perfect environment.  Shit happens. We have to be strong enough to handle that too.

Always Down For a Quickie

BENCH:
2 part bench, bar x10
55lb 4/1 x10
55lb wide/mid/narrow x10 ea.
65lb x10
75lb x10

Got home an hour late, let the dog out, fed the chickens, collected eggs, did the dishes from the morning, got my daughter some supper, benched, got my girl in the shower, made dinner for my man and I, listened to my girl read for 20 minutes, sat down and exhaled. That was my 3 hours tonight. Don't blank or you'll miss my training! It certainly isn't ideal, but I DID NOT want to miss benching tonight. So while it may have only been a quickie, it kept me moving and got me my second training day this week. 
I'm not even going to complain.

Dead Tired

DEADS:
95lb x10 
135lb x10

●●●●●●●●●●
PISTOL SQUATS  (to bench)
B.W.x10 ea. leg
10lb x10 ea leg

And with that I was done! I think 100 deadlifts fits the bill for a decent training session. I wish I could have gotten the 185lb all in one set, but I'll take 2 complete sets.
I feel good right now. I know my legs will get progressively sore over the next couple of days, but I'm hopeful that my back/hips will be ok.
