Love a Good Challenge
I am going for another evening workout tonight for abs, biceps, and back. I am slowly adjusting to the new training–I’ve got to keep telling myself that. It’s not getting easier, but I am starting to figure out what works for me. I am currently up to about 1800-1900 calories. I have been diligent in my fitday journal for about three entries, so that is getting better. I am going to eat at around my 8 sets of back/bis and see if that helps like it did on leg day. My body feels tired so I took the extra sleep. I have also been getting to sleep a little late. I am hooked on this animated series, Frisky Dingo. It’s hilarious. If you have a somewhat odd sense of humor and find the mudane amusing–you may like it!
I have put on about 1 1/2 pounds over the past few weeks–and I don’t think it’s premenstrual. I think I am a bit bigger. I am going to take pictures this weekend and make some comparisons. My size 4 pants are snug in the thighs. When I was doing my leg press and leg extensions, I am beginning to see a few new lines. Yep, I am definitely fuller. Should be interesting to see what I look like in a few weeks. Luckily, I have pants ranging from a size 10 to a 4, so I am covered no matter what size I turn out to be. Although, I want to stay at around a size 6. But knowing what I know now, as I gain more lean mass, this shouldn’t be a problem.

This evening I went to the old gym and did back and abs. I am going to see how I feel tomorrow. I didn’t take a rest day this week and tomorrow just may be it. My lifts were a bit lower, but I stayed focused. This guy walked up to me and said, "You are serious, aren’t you?" You’re darned right, I am. I want to make the most of this time that I have to prepare. I am going to make mistakes. I am going to make gains. I am going to have alot of questions. I am going to have some lucky guesses. I am going to do my best. It’s as simple as that. I am going to eat some eggs and get to bed. More tomorrow.
I almost forgot to add that there was a double-man baby shower at work. And as much as I wanted the 7-layer dip and homemade chicken enchiladas (and believe me when I tell you, my co-worker makes the BOMB enchiladas)–I passed. I had the fruit salad and the chicken from my lunch.
