My intent was to go to the gym last night, but that didnt happen, so I made up for it this morning. I like to get to the gym on the weekends right when the doors open at 6, but I was in just after 7 and started at 7:15. I had a banana and a scoop of protein before I headed out to the gym. I felt like I had a really good rhythm on the treadmill doing my warmup. And felt more energetic as the workout went on. I am trying to get back into my 4 day a week routine, which is Tues, Thurs, Sat and Sun. So I will be back in the gym tomorrow morning. What I listed on todays workout tracker is not complete, as there were some things I did today that I was not able to find using the tracker. I downed a protein shake right after of 390 calories and 40 grams of protein. After getting home I drank 16 ounces of cold water to further help the body burn more calories as the body regulates temperature. Time for another meal now and I will update this later on today.

Last night I made my way back into the gym, but this time only after a 3 week layoff. I’ve been having trouble lately, due to classes and work of being able to maintain the 3-4 day routine I want to get back to. So yesterday morning I made my mind up that I was going to do two things, go to the driving range during lunch and then to the gym after work. And I accomplished both.

 I did just a light total body workout yesterday, though most of it was upper body. I wanted to get enough in to not be too sore today.  I usually do light cardio first to warm up, a mile is enough for me, and that is usually done in intervals of 2-3 minutes of walking and 1-2 minutes of sprinting at a time. I then hit the weights. I know everyone says to do cardio after and on occasions I do, but the reason I do the little cardio that I do in the beginning is, I get headaches, if I just come in and tackle the weights right away. If anybody has any suggestions, that’d be great. I hit the biceps, triceps, calves, chest and lats yesterday, so today there was that burning soreness feeling that I love. I didnt overdo it as I wanted to be able to get out of bed this morning.

I always feel good after a workout when I am a little sore. There’s a personal feeling of satisfaction. Now I just need to find time in my daily life to put it all together. Wish me luck!
