For the first time in a month I was able to work my chest.  Got in some benching, presses and flyes.  My shoulder was feeling well enough to do that and it felt great and gave my spirits a lift.  Have been working my shoulders again also and they are getting stronger. I remember the Physical therapist telling me that I have to work through the pain during my shoulder rehab and it is paying off.  The stronger the shoulder gets the more the pain fades away. It’s all-good.

 
I have remained committed to my diet and have 5 dozen boiled eggs on standby at all times for a quick source of protein as needed.  I like using the zero carb Isopure because it delivers 50 grams protein with zero fat and is only 200 calories. 

 
Today my legs are sore from yesterday’s leg workout. Did the entire rack on  the abductor and adductor machines and my legs are feeling it.  They are coming along well and are starting to look even better.  My claves have gotten ripped and solid as a rock and the rest of me has to catch up. Losing weight was the easy part but losing fat is another matter.  It is all dependant on diet and patience. That will happen in time.

 
I am looking forward to tonight’s HIT cycling cardio class.  It has gotten really popular and I will arrive at the gym 90 minutes early just to get on the sign in sheet. It will give me a chance to get in a good stretch and work my abs before the class begins.  Will do back-to-back sessions for 90 minutes.  As in last year, I have noticed that the gym is becoming less and less crowded as the New Years resolutions fade away. I imagine that it will level off in March like it did last year.

 I am only 5 pounds away from losing 100 pounds to my goal weight of 170 pounds. I have finally managed to get over my plateau. 

I got my good carbs in this morning so that they would burn off during the course of the day.

 
Ate clean all day.

 
Did 90 minutes HIT cycling cardio- was soaking wet.

Worked abs hitting all angles.

Shoulder sore.

 
Tonight, I spoke to the HIT to the cycling instructor and one of the trainers.  They told me to SLOW DOWN.

I am going to take tomorrow off from the gym and decided to work out every other day.
