BabyG79’s BodyBlog

It’s been a good week.  I’ve been hitting the gym consistently all week.  TB hasn’t been so pumped to workout this week but at least my workout buddy at work has remained on trakc with me.  She’s pretty much been having me guide her with the strength training since she’s really never done it before.  I think that she might think I"m trying to kill her though.  She’s probably been more sore over the last two weeks then she’s ever been.  At first she seemed a little concerned but I think I’ve convinced her that being sore isn’t a bad thing as long as it’s not completely debilitating.  I’ve noticed that so many people (especially women) have the mentality that if you are sore the next day then you did something wrong.  This baffles me.  I feel like I wasted my time if I’m not feeling it for at least two days after a workout.  I remember the first time I ever touched a weight, when I was 14 in the high school weight room, I was thrilled that I could actually squat my body weight.  My legs were screaming for the next 4 days but I loved it.  I could feel them changing.  To me that’s what it’s all about!  Anyway, I digress….we workout out together every day except for TUesday.  I actually did a split routine on Monday doing 1 hour of cardio and abs in the afternoon with her and an hour of upper body in the evening.  We went to the stability ball class yesterday and I didn’t feel so stable since we also worked out chest, biceps, triceps, lats and shoulders the day before on Wed.  I kept falling off the ball!  Oh well.  We didn’t do toomuch on lower body this week outside of the ball class and the cardio so we’re going to hit glutes, quads, calves and hammys today so I can have the weekend to recover.

I officially set my shoprt term goals this week to be:

1) DO 5 unassisted pull-ups

2) Lose 20 lbs

…target date is 5-2
