Woof

Bloop.
Same as usual. I don't remember the specifics because I didn't bring my little book with me to write down stuff. I have a lot of backdating to do as well.

Yee haw!
I decided to be a little braver tonight and wrangle the free weights instead of the machines. Doing chest was...interesting. Every time I went to sit up after a set, my abs screamed "OH GOD, NO!" Haha, hm...maybe I should be a little more wary that they're not completely healed yet.

Other than that, I've been sore as FUCK since a couple days ago. Me likey.

Back in the saddle.
Cripes, I didn't realize how long it had been since we'd gone to the gym. It's been a little less than a month since I had surgery, so I've been recuperating. Didn't want to do too much right away - didn't want my guts spilling out everywhere. So because of that and the fact that I'm getting back into the swing of things, I took it easy. I also didn't do ab exercises for obvious reasons.

Also, my new running shoes are freaking amazing. They definitely make a huge difference. I can run like a champ now (well, from what my incision will allow me right now anyway).

Well, finally getting back on track (kind of) after the holidays. I’ve been bike-riding a little bit, but that doesn’t really count as a “good” work-out.

Mmm, exhaustion.
Today was weird with the food. I got up this morning and went to work without a chance to get something to eat. Then I went to the gym right after work, so I didn't actually get any food in me until almost six o'clock this evening.

The whole entire day I wasn't hungry. At all. Not even one little hunger pang. Hm. Must've been all the left-over sustenance from that crazy eggnog latte I had last night. LOL

Back on track!
Well, after missing eight days of working out due to having to study for the the 80 million tests from hell, I'm back in the game. Let me say, it's hard to get back in the groove when you mess up your routine even a little bit. I really had to drag myself back to the gym. I just did not want to go! But I knew I had to beat my own ass into submission, lol. Once I finally got in the car to leave, I was rarin' to go.

I've been a little (just a little!) gluttonous lately as well. *shamefully slaps wrists* I swear, all that Halloween candy's gonna be gone before Halloween even gets here. This is always the time of year where everything just starts to go downhill, though. Once the holidays begin, it's all over. And there just happens to be a crapload of holidays at the end of the year.

Weights (1 hour):
30 reps/3 sets of everything.

Average heart-rate: 175-180

Actually, I think my little hiatus helped out a little. I was able to lift the same sets/reps with about 5 more pounds on than usual. Yay!
