Finally!

Got to lift weights today! I can't do much yet, obviously, but it was still awesome. Did some squats (45lbs) and dead lifts (65lbs). My legs are killing me, but damn do I feel good!

Revelation.

I realized something about myself today.

I'm on Weight Watchers, but I am not using it to its full potential. Sure, I log what I eat, but I half ass it and guesstimate how much I've eaten and occasionally outright lie. And exactly what am I accomplishing by this?

Not a damn thing.

All I'm doing is hampering myself. I'm holding myself back by doing all of this. I'm keeping myself from my full potential.

And that has to stop.

Starting right now, I must be brutally honest about the food I eat, the drinks I drink. I will not omit because it shames me to see how many points I've used. I will not guess. I will accurately measure my portions. And I will not continue to hurt my own goals just because I'm afraid of going over my allotted points.

I will make a change.

It's the first of May, first of May, outdoor fuckin' starts today.

Just a quickie this morning.

20 crunches
20 chest press, 6lbs each hand
2 planks, 30 seconds each

Here's to being back on track, at least a little.

Let's get back on track.

Monday, April 29th
30 squats
2 planks, 30 seconds each
40 jumping jacks
20 overhead press, 6lbs each hand
30 calf raises

I had to wake up at 4:30am to get this workout in, but damn, it was worth it. I am so tired of not working out. I'm taking a sick/personal day from work today, and good thing too, as my thighs are dying. Ease back into it, that's what I've gotta do.

This hiatus has gone on long enough. Now I'm getting back on track.

Ugh.

10 hour shifts are hell on my fitness routine.

I haven't worked out since I started this job.

And this coming week will be more of the same.

Please, oh please, let the schedule go to 8 hour shifts soon.

Today's workout

45 squats
30 push ups
3 30 second planks
60 jumping jacks
30 overhead press, 12lbs total
30 chest press, 12 lbs total
45 calf raises
30 lunges

Really starting to feel the burn. I'm hoping that next week I can add another round to all of those. I'm also hoping that when my friend Levi gets back from deployment he can show me some barbell techniques. I REALLY want to lift heavy things!

Also, I got that job. So next week, along with hopefully adding on more reps, I'll be working around a job. Here's hoping I'm up to the challenge.
