Still tired, but improving

JR with the green rope to warm up.

10x10 pushups
4x25 situps
4x25 squats (no weight, fast)
~85 pullups - 15 of which were underhand with arms fully extended and toes just touching the ground....the rest were like 90-degree assisted, but done overhand on a bar instead of with a jungle gym.

I need more sleep. More disciple...more sleep...I should really have been in bed an hour ago...

Be strong!

wow that's a lot of pullups . . . nice!

That workout sounds good actually. It might be a good one to base off of, although I've done a ton of those exercises this week (sticking with the basics to start back!)

For sleep, you just need to make yourself do it. Lie down at 10 or 10:30 pm, even if you're not tired. Give yourself at least 45 minutes to fall asleep before you get frustrated. And have some chammomile tea beforehand, too, if you like that stuff; it helps me when I can't get to sleep.

I know I need to make myself sleep. I need to be disciplined about it. Its worse than not going to bed because I'm not tired. I'll be tired and sleepy and I STILL won't go to bed. A lot of it is because DH won't come home from work until 9 or 10 pm, and so that's my only time to see him...
But when I'm getting up at 5:00 a.m., I really should be going to sleep at 9 p.m. Grrrrr.

Make sure you guys both read my comment on my post from a couple days ago. I really want your insight on my shoulders...what is weird is that everything feels strong and pain-free, except dips and triceps pushups...

I agree with what Burpees said about the nature of the shoulder position in dips and triceps push-ups. I still recommend working with VERY limited range of motion as a way to SLOWLY develop the muscle/integration/stability in the shoulder, but not until you are ready to take it on. Obviously, your job training take priority!
