one day at a time. one day is all it takes, sometimes. today, i feel SO much better than i did yesterday. first, i must have dropped some water weight that i gained over the past week, because while i was at 166 yesterday, i was 163 this morning. i’ll take it. up from last week, but what’s done is done, so we move on from here.
my workout this morning was great. i always feel so amazing all day after working out. we laughed quite a bit this morning, which helps to make it fun. i struggled with some of the leg exercises – mostly the extensions and leg press, but i gave it all i had, so i know my muscles were totally spent by the time i was done.
we changed back from the pull down to the shoulder press again. i’m guessing it’s a good thing to keep changing it up. other than that, it was pretty routine. seems like i struggle to get started, then once i’m going, i’m good. it’s that first push that is hardest, especially on the leg machines. biceps are funny for me. the weight feels too light for a few reps, then i totally hit a wall. it’s so abrupt, not that it starts to get difficult, but more like one rep is fine and the next is hard.
it seemed like two weeks since i was there, although it was really only an extra two days. but i guess with a vacation in the middle, that distorted my perception of time a little bit. fortunately, i don’t think my muscles suffered from being on vacation…at least not nearly as much as my weight did!
i keep posting these measurements, although they don’t seem to change all that much. some are a little higher this time than last, but i guess that is to be expected. they’re more in line with where i was when i was at this weight before, so i guess that really does make sense. so anyway, here they are…
