I didn't start this until Saturday of the third week, so keep that in mind! |

I'm going to try and get back in the habit of public record. I have to say, keeping it public does make things easier to keep up with. I had the great fortune today of getting to work out with Laurel, who is a real trooper and stuck with me to the end, even when I felt a little pukey.
I missed you guys! Hope I see a lot more of you. |
Special Announcement
It isn't that I've stopped working out, though the consistency has diminished, I've mostly just stopped writing down my workouts. I've started using a great iPhone/iPod Touch application called "iFitness" to record my workouts, and so far, that's doing a wonderful job. It keep perfect track of my workouts with extremely little effort from me, which I love. I can even get it to send me a record of the day's workout, but I have yet to take the time to turn it into a good format. But we'll see. Already modified a bit, here's an example of a past day:
The exercises aren't in the order in which I did them, and even the little bit of formating I did on this one took longer than I'm willing to put into a daily log. We'll see how this evolves. |

I have been horrible lately about keeping up with this thing, but hopefully I can get back into the swing of things. I missed too many days last week, though not as many as I didn't report, so I'm going to count this week as my 8th week starting today and sort of have a do-over. However, due to time constraints, it wasn't a great start.
I only did one exercise set per muscle group today, which I did to save time, but I seriously don't know if I could have done two other sets. I felt strong and weak at the same time, and all the candy I ate this weekend didn't help at all either. Let this be a lesson to you: DON'T SKIP YOUR WORKOUTS. It will come back to bite you, and you'll be surprised how fast your body will turn on you. Now it's time for some sleep. I've had a lot of trouble catching some lately. |
Monday March 24th, 2009
Okay, okay, okay. I DID workout last friday, but I didn't write it down, and now I've forgotten it entirely, but rest assured: it was good! Except that I couldn't work my shoulders because I had pulled it the day before doing bent over rows. If you notice, today, I tried to choose back exercises that involved my shoulder as little as possible, and I'm feeling a lot better. The 25th is a leg/shoulder day, so we'll see just how healed up I am then. However, I didn't run on Saturday, which I'm sure is going to make Wednesday an maligned witch of a run.

It's starting to become an easy thing for me to just run for 20 min. Which gives me hope that in 2 weeks, I might be able to make it to 30min, like the workout calls for.
It was a good day for crunches! |

Monday March 16th, 2009
This is the first day of second week, and even though I've been falling behind on my sleep, it still feels pretty good getting in the gym.
I feel like I would have gotten a better workout if I would have done dumbbell flys instead of that bench press, but at the same time, the bench press does isolate a little better. I guess because it doesn't work out my stabilizing muscles as much. I'll see you again on St. Patty's day! |
Saturday March 14th, 2009
Sorry, I've been sluggish in updating but I did run 20 min on this day.
I used this exercise to get my upper and lower abs at the same time because I was in a hurry. First week done!!! It's all downhill after this. |
