(TUESDAY, August 15, 2023) Better LATE than NEVER.

 ...

LATE last night I saw that one of the Women's World Cup semifinals (Spain v. Sweden) started at 4:00 am EST ('cuz it'sWAAAAAY over in Australia).  Thus, I deliberately skipped my POST evening teeth-brushing ritual.  This way I'd almost definitely awaken in the middle o' the night with the urge to relieve my bladder.

... OOOR, I'd just PISS myself.  Nevertheless, I had enough confidence in both my LIGHT sleeping & my penile-/bladder-control to doze off.

... Sure enough, at ~4:45 am, I tuned in to catch the second half.  No big whoop, as 'twas a scoreLESS first 45+.  Remarkably, I stayed wide awake for all of a very energetic--but still goal-LESS--next ~33 minutes.  Then, I very excitedly caught THREE goals ... all in the final ~12 minutes!

SEMIFINAL #1: Spain 2, Sweden 2.

(YESSSSS!)

I'd like to THINK that MYYY favored team won, because MYYY viewership WILLED it that way.

... But, that's just ridiculous.  SSSSSHHHHH!

As far as my biweekly workout, 'twas a similar routine:

--> -- Walking on the parallel bars forward (2 laps), backwards (2 laps) and sideways (just 1 lap)

-- 20 bicep curls on left arm with 10 lb dumbbell (plus FIVE reps, 'cuz I felt energetic & strong)

-- 30 regular bicep curls and 20 hammer curls on right arm with 15 lbs (plus TWO reps, cuz ... why NOT?!)

-- 10 isomeric leg extensions with my trainer's resistance on the left leg

-- HIP-ups: 140 total but 90 reps then rest and then 50 reps

(I again tied my RECORD-HIGH!)

-- Tricep extension 2 sets each arm 

   ... 1 set of 20 reps & 1 set of 15 reps on the left side--both with 10 lbs 

   ... 2 sets of 15 reps on the right, but 1st set was with 15 lbs and the 2nd set was 10 lbs 

-- 30 ball hamstring curls with 2 legs but also single leg hamstring curls 20 reps with each leg

   ... 30 calf raises

-- ~14 minute BIKE ride
