Few sets of tricep pushdowns with bar at Cybex station and then with pushdown machine

Not sleeping easily with cold, change in time zones

 

LIFE STUFF

Work is busy, a little stressful. Traveling Sunday through Friday.

Feeling committed to goals – keeps the stress down, forces balance with work– and is simply, fun.
