i’ve been back in the game now for about three weeks. it feels great. i didn’t want to post something sooner cause something usually happens to halt my progress, so far so good. been doing light weight with high reps (around 15). next week i’m start heavy lifting for a couple of weeks then go back to light lifting to get my body used to the switch. been a long time since i’ve been able to lift, more than 6 months so the weights i use are VERY light and is embarrasing so i’m not posting my workouts yet. hope i can keep going and gain the weight i lost back pretty soon.

I put up my heavy bag a couple days ago and messed with it for about a half an hour. i had written down what different things to do punching and kicking wise 10x each. i couldn’t finish the kicking part, i was only able to do about half of it i was so worn out. i hadn’t messed with a heavy bag in over three years. anyways, my body is so freakin sore from it. muscles are sore that i didn’t even know i was using while doing it. it’s hard to move or even walk up and down stairs cause my legs hurt. but it lets me know i was doing something and i’m thankful for that. otherwise i would think was doing something wrong.

my truck, saying they’ll call back and don’t. it’s pretty annoying. i’m trying to sell my truck. if you call about it and say your going to call back about it, do it. it’s really annoying when they don’t cause it gets my hopes up. it’s not a bad vehicle. compared to other trucks i’ve looked up it’s age, mine is usually in better shape. this has happened to me three times in the last week. it’s frustrating.

I couldn’t do my workout yesterday do to my knee hurting.  It had been bugging me for about three days but I could walk fine on it and whatever. But then on Friday when I got out of bed I could hardly walk. When I would sit in my vehicle in between jobs then get back out it hurt real bad again to walk. No matter what I did, I couldn’t bend my knee. It was really annoying. The worst thing is that it was leg day (how convenient). Not only that, at one of my jobs I turned around and accidentally kicked the corner of a wall with my other leg and stubbed the last two toes so that made it hard to walk on that foot for a while. Friday was just not my day this week. But it’s feeling better today, still hurts a little so I’m not going to force it. Don’t want to make it worse than it already is.

Okay, i worked out yesterday and did chest, bi’s and abs. Not too bad of a combo to do. The bad feeling was the ridiculous amount of weight i had to use since I’m just getting back to working out after a year.  It made me feel so horrible.  I had to start at the very bottom again.  The weight for my chest was the worst, granted I was doing sets of 20 but still.  I only did 65-75 lbs. for incline bb bench.  My incline was never much but this chest workout was just pathetic.  My biceps workout was a little better ’cause I use my arms a lot more than my chest on a daily basis.  I’m just hoping after a couple more crappy chest workouts I’ll be able to start using heavier weight.

i’ve only exercised for two straight days now, the last time was last week sometime, and i seem to be more energetic now.  i’m pretty happy about it.  my wife too. have had some extra energy she likes. because of not working out for quite a while i was  always tired and didn’t want to do anything. now i can keep up better with my dog (somewhat) when playing outside.  i don’t get winded now after just 2 minutes of running around. now it’s 3. no just kidding. but i can run around with playing with him for about 5 minutes or so before i get really winded and i’m loving it.

I just started working out again this past Wednesday.  Today will be my next workout this afternoon/evening.  I’m hoping I can actually stick with a regimen for more than a few weeks.  I’m hoping this site helps me keep motivated to keep doing better and to lift regularly like I used to.  This is the first time I’ve ever blogged anything too.  new experience all around for me.
