Lots of them

Notes:

* Really tried to focus on foot speed on this one.  Since I'm approaching the heaviest week of TB, I kept this weight lighter.  I was starting to feel my old self: remembering how to push harder with the weights.

* I'm liking the circus DB as a carry option.  I loaded the top of it to add some weight, and that should be something I can continue as needed.  I DO need to get in some practice with the sandbag though.

* Was actually moving fast enough to feel my cardio get impacted.  

* On the throws, I tried out setting it up like a KB swing, and that worked out well.  Having the bag far out in front, so I can grab it, swing it back once and then launch it on the rebound.

* Yesterday, I got in a 5 mile recovery walk as well.  Had to use the treadmill, since I needed to keep an eye on my pup post surgery.  Played around with speed a bunch.

* For the superbowl, I treated myself to 21 wings, smoked and air fried.  That probably doesn't help my goals for weight loss, but I'm well within cutting range if it comes down to that, and I'm not going to be a martyr through this.  Which, on that note, I also had a full rack of ribs on Friday and got to the buffet on Saturday.
