Today = Last day for Smoking…
Well this is it. I’m on my last pack and tomorrow I quit. I’ve gotta do it. I’m just going to remember my goals and the other reasons to quit smoking and when I get those cravings, I’ll pop in a nicorette.
I worked my back today. It was a pretty good workout I guess, but being new with this, it’s hard to judge if I’ve done enough or not. The back isn’t like legs or arms where you can feel the pump real easy and know that it’s worked good. With my arms wearing out, it’s hard to tell if my back is worn out or if it’s just my arms. That’s another reason I didn’t work arms today or yesterday. I think I’m going to separate my arms from my chest day and back day. That way I can do a workout dedicated to just the arms instead of only letting them get a workout after already going through as secondary muscles.
After back, I also worked my quads and calves. I went fairly light, again to try to minimize the pain of the next few days. I’m hoping if I gradually get tougher workouts in on my legs they won’t go into shock like my arms did after their first workouts.
Tomorrow’s CPO PT in the morning is going to consist of swimming. That should be a good overall body workout. If anything, it’ll be a good cardio replacement for running. Poeple that know me say I swim like a fish, but I do wear out quick because I don’t swim all the time. I’ll try to change that because I know swimming is a good thing to add when you’re trying to tone up.
Also, I used the last of my 2Lb of Optimum Whey Protein. I had to go to the local PX and all the had was Muscle Tech’s Meso-Tech. We’ll see how it works for me. It’s more expensive, but I got it for $42.95, a little cheaper than most places. It’s only 20 packets, but each packet has twice the protein of 1 serving of Optimum, so I should be able to get by with only 2 or 3 servings a day. The package says 2 servings - 1 in the morning and 1 after the workout. We’ll see. Fifty dollars a week is a lot for just Protein. MuscleTech is supposed to have good products. I wouldn’t have gotten it if my store had something cheaper. They had some other stuff earlier this week, but out here, things go quick. Who know’s when they’ll get a new shipment in.
That’s about it for now. Be sure to check up on my latest Update pics. I’ll try to keep them coming. Hopefully through this next week I can really hit some heavy weights now that my muscles are worked in a little and ready to go.
