I just got home from a good workout not heavy but certainly each exercise was done properly.  Just as I finish my puny bench press.  I am slightly ashamed I can’t do more but ok.  A very nice looking guy with one of those accents you dream about (wait all the men around here sound like this)  Anyway he say, You are strong woman.  I see, I watch you very clean workout.  You no learn this here.  But, I’m (inset some exotic European name) I will see you.  I wasn’t to jump up and say hey hey I am only getting started.  Soon I will be like some huge muscle head.  But, well I just say graciously thanks you and run off to do cardio which can I say I kicked cardios butt today.  I am just on a high right now because someone in excellent shape very muscular thinks I am strong.

I had a forced rest day.  I went to the Hague today.  I walked a bit but it didn’t make up for the coffees and the krokettes.  But, I skipped bread as well as drinks.  No wait I had one beer.  I haven’t had a drink in a long time.  For my mental and physical strength, I figured why not cut back or quit all together.  I certainly don’t need the extra calories.  Anyway, I will hit the gym in the a.m. and give what I got.

Just need to post to vent to myself mostly.  But, I don’t think I am alone.  I want to add a little more weight to my tricep workout and I can’t.  i have to keep going lighter and it makes me feel a bit like a failure.  I am trying to keep in mind two reason i stay light and steady.  One is to perfect the motion.  I need to do it correctly in order to avoid injury.  Two I need to maximize the benefit make sure the muscle is exhausted.  If I go heavy too soon I will injure myself and could be practicing bad form.  Nothing more depressing than a set back that could have been avoided.  Ok time to let it ride.  I am not a failure I am not a quitter and I am not doing this for nothing.  Just be easy it is not yet time to heavy.

OK so what have I learned near the end of my first week of hardocre training.  Well I wish I could say the secret to great biceps or even the cause of that awful smell in the locker room.  But, no……I learned I need to eat to win this.  I crashed hard today and had to do a half ass workout.  I was soo exhausted every muscle hurt and begged to be put down.  I don’t know why my eating plan is not working but, it is not and I have to fix it quick before I get discouraged.  On with the sirfing of the internet and BB.com because I will win I will succeed and I will feed the Beast within.

I am still sore from my leg workout 2 days ago.  I don’t know if I overtrained or what but, I am not going to quit and I am not slowing down.  I will admit it feels better today than yesterday and oddly enough at the gym today there was no issue.  Only when I got home did I notice I am still really sore.  But whatever just trying to stick it out and keep focused.

First day working out at HelathCity and I think this is one of the best gyms I have ever been to.  I have to make it short and sweet because I need to go to bed.  I had an amazing day at the gym and don’t think I will ever stop loving the feel or the burn.  I did legs and it is my favorite workout.  I love love love when they hurt you know in the tissue.  When you think I am gonna die if I do another set.  But, you don’t die and you feel stronger.  Well all I have to say now is bring on the biceps tomorrow, I am all over it.
