First day of the year!! I woke up in a good mood! Made it to the gym a little late but due to the Holiday the morning crowd was still there. I hit legs …..wasn’t really feeling it…I had my first meal at 6am then went back to sleep…had a protein shake for my 2nd meal but it wasn’t enough b/c half way through my leg workout I was starving!

Made it to the gym by 10:30AM….not due to any fault of my own…had a busy weekend at work and I was up at 6AM keying in dictation from my cases! Was hoping to be done by 8AM, but had more than I thought.
Once I got to the gym, to my surprised it was unusually crowded. In fact too crowded for a Monday morning….well, looks like the New Years’ Resolution crowd has arrived. I wish them the best of luck….but I sure will be glad when they get out of my way!!

I had to play catch-up today due to missing yesterday! It wasn’t a total lost of a day….I painted for 4 hrs. which I realized to be a challenging workout in itself….physically and mentally!!!! Talk about being patient and staying in the lines…….and my shoulder was killing me by the time I was finished due to all the rolling!!!!
Here’s today’s workout…..felt pretty good. I’m not lifting super heavy…keeping it at reps of 12. So I really have to go nice and slow and hold the contraction to get a good burn!
