So I started softball season.  First practice was monday, and Ican still barely move.  I didn’t realize how long it had been since I played ball.  I have to say that I may have hustled a little more than I had too, butI just really wanted to be on the team.  I think i found new musclesin my butt, because it hurts soooo good.  I can’t wait for the nest practice.

Well, if you read my post from Friday, you know that I finally got a legs day into my schedule.  Well, I have to say I am disappointed.  I didn’t realize that the little gym I go to only had three legs machines, and they are all upper legs.  I got to do some lower leg stuff, but not what I wanted to.  I guess this means I mayhave to go to the big gym for leg day from now on.  Al so today I start softball practice.  I amkind of excited since it hasbeen a little while snce I have playeda sport.

Well, I have been on my current work out program for about two weeks now, and it seems every time I come to a legs day, something happens.  The first day, was V-day so I had to skip the gym to make for dinner reservations, and the second day was a day when my wife and I were supposed to go to the gym together, but the gym child center would take our son.  She was so pissed we ended up going home.  Granted, I could have stayed and worked out (I had my motorcycle) but it just wouldn’t have been right.  But today, today I finally have a chance to work the leggage.  I am a little excited.  My legs seem to gain muscle fairly easy, and plus I love flexing my thighs and seeing the results ofa good workout.

It has dawned on me that I have been trying to motivate all wrong.  I found that to properly be motivated, your motivation must 50/50.  Something that makes you angry, and something that makes you happy.  For instance, my angry thing is the fact that somewhere on this site is a 17 yo girl with bigger arms than me.  My happy thing is the looks I get when I look nice a cut.  That is great motivation for me to push myself just thatmuch more.  Just a thought.

Well, tuesday was my first targeted work out.  I did chest/tris/back.  I must have done something right because here it is thursday, and I still hurt like hell. Today isbis/neck/shoulders/forearm.  Hopefuly I get a great work outagain.  I feel like Iammaking some great progress.

Well, I finally got a list of goals.  Of course, the moment I do, I get a little sick.  But I do have goals now.  I hopefuly will be able to read those goals.  If not it is ok.  My first goal sheet is more of a test to see, with my current schedule, how fast I can attain my goals.  Wish me luck.

Well, since the doctor cleared me for lifting the other day, it has been high gear.  Well, it feels so good.  I missed the feel of the muscle destruction.  There was almost a piece of me mising when I couldn’t work out.  Of course I’m not at 100% yet, but I’m getting there.

Well, I had my last doctor appointment with the doctor about my collar bone taday.  Apparently I have done an excellent job helping it heal.  He said I can start lifting more weight whenever I feel ready.  YAAAAAAAY!!!!!  Now I guess its time to get it back in high gear.
