I am resting until tomorrow.  I had a tough week at work.  I had to train another guy from one of our locations. I did my work plus trained him, and I got a bit stressed.

I was getting a bit lackadaisical on my diet, because everyone was telling me how good I looked.  I thought I had reached my goal, but I have not.  I am not one to look in the mirror at myself, but I did last night.  I am far from the shape that I thought I was in.  Reality hit me in the face.

I have lost fifty + pounds, I look much better, I am much stronger, I am much healthier, but I am not at the goal that I set for myself.  I want a strong lean body that I like.  My wife already loves me for me, I just want to do this for myself. I will get there.

I had a decent workout tonight.  I started with barbell bench press (225 x 5 max), then incline barbell press, dumbell chest flyes, and finally max reps on the hammer machine till exhaustion.

37 minutes on the elliptical (burning 560 calories)

I had a good workout today.  I did 5 sets of leg extensions, 7 sets of leg presses, 5 sets of leg curls, 5 sets on lower back machine, 150 crunches, and 10 minutes in the sauna.  When I got home, I had my protein drink, two wheat bread ham subs, sun chips, my vitamins, and a big cup of skim milk.  Burp.

Geaux LSU!!!!

I had one of the best bicep workouts that I have ever had.  I stayed light, but did more reps.  It works.  I also went light on my triceps, but I didn’t feel quite the same about that.  I think my tri’s need heavy weight to respond.

I did 120 crunches, 37 minutes on the elliptical with my heart rate at a steady 120 (that is supposed to be my optimal rate for fat burning), and 10 minutes in the sauna. 

I had a good shoulder workout.  I did 5 sets of shoulder presses with dumbells, then I did 5 (light) sets on the shoulder press machine.  I also did some light sets of toning shoulder exercises.

I did 30 miuntes on the elliptical tonight, and 5 minutes in the hot sauna.

I had a strong back workout yesterday, but today is rest day.

I weighed this morning, and lost some of the weight I had gained during my STRESS ordeal.  I am not doing anything tonight, except clean the house.

I did have a good workout tonight, even though I had done legs Sunday.  I started with dumbell presses tonight, then incline barbell presses, machine flyes, and pullovers.

I also did 40 minutes on the elliptical (burning 600+ calories).

I started my new workout routine today.  I am beginning with legs since they are the most grueling workout for me.  I did have a good workout, but I hope I still have a good chest workout tomorrow.  I did 100 crunches and got in the sauna for 10 minutes.
