An OK start to the New Year. Working for better!!

So its been about 2 weeks into 2012 and i wish it were better. Training hasn't been where I wanted it to be but I think the wheels are about to get rolling. I recently got promoted at my job to Assistant Fitness Manager which allows me to handle more responsibilities and get a few more hours of work. Not to mention a few more dollars in my pocket. Happy about that!!! But now I have to schedule my workouts and my clients a little better. So that may be a bit of a challenge because of my long days (4am wake up- 10or 11pm sleep) UGH!! But none the less there are competitions coming up and I need to get ready for them. My training so far hasn't been too consistent. Here is what it looked like for the first couple of weeks.
1/1/12- Rest

1/2/12- a.m.- 20 min run/10 min bike
p.m.- Jerk Specific- warm-up 16kg- 10/10, 20kg 10/10

Snatch 16kg 30/30, 30/30; 20kg 20/20, 20/20
I felt sick to my stomach so this was more of just getting back to the bells.

1/14/12 Interval workout (Jerk specific)
Warm-up 16kg 10/10reps, 20kg 10/10reps, 24kg 10/10 reps
2x24kg 1:15min/:45sec rest 5sets (16, 16, 15, 15, 10)

Work Set- 2x20kg 50 reps 5:40min
Sprints- 2x20kg 3x1min/:30sec rest (16,15,15)
Olympic Style Squats- 135lbs 10 reps; 185lbs 10 reps, 10 reps

Things I need to get stronger are legs with out a doubt and my right shoulder. As I get higher reps and longer into the set my right shoulder doesn't Lock in to fixate the bell at the top. I also need to get more Snatching workout sets in.
