Today was day two of the new routine. I think I had a pretty good workout. It was back, biceps and abs day. I tried some new techniques that Monica had put in her book, and they seemed to go pretty good. I really felt like I did something after this workout. I did my 20 minutes of cardio, and really pushed myself to make up for yesterday. I waked out of the gym feeling so much better than I did yesterday. Tomorrow is leg and glut day. That is always my favorite day, so it should go great.

Today I started a new workout plan. I think it went pretty good. I worked chest, shoulders, and triceps. I gave those areas a pretty good workout I do believe. I got this plan out of Monica Brants book. I think that it is going to be a nice change of pace. Cardio on the other hand, I felt that I should have pushed myself a little harder. I ate a protein bar before I went, and It kind of sat on my stomach wrong so I had a bit of a stomache ache, and just could not run. I did the interval routine that was on the treadmill, but walked away not feeling satisfied. Note to self: Eat protein bar AFTER workout from now on.

Today was leg day, and boy did I push myself. I worked my lower body harder than I have in a long time, felt great!!! In some of the sets I felt like crying the burn was so bad, so I know that I gave my legs a great workout today. I love to walk out of the gym and really feel like I accomplished something. I did interval on the old treadmill, next time I will have to incline it higher.

My new favorite workout cd:  METALLICA DEATH MAGNETIC!!!  Oh yeah baby that is an awesome workout companion. It helped keep me motivated and moving.

Tomorrow is recoup day. I do not plan on doing ANYTHING. I just got Monica Brants book, she has some awesome workouts in there, so I am going to start on routine number three on Monday. I think it will be worth it.

I did not make it to the gym yesterday. I was just so tired I could not get myself out of bed that early. So now I will have to workout on Saturday.You have to pay the price for laziness.

Today was arm day. Felt it went pretty well, ALTHOUGH again, I think that I need to push myself harder. I put in about 95 percent, and I know that i can put in 110 percent!!! So the goal for next week is to push myself harder than I have ever pushed myself. I know I pushed myself hard with the cardio once again. I tried out HIT, and it pretty much kicked my butt. It did make the session go by much quicker I must say.

So… Starting monday september 15, 2008 my challenge for myself will be to push myself at maximum, and not hold back. This is the only way that I am going to start seeing the results that I want to see!!!

Hit the gym at 4:55 am. was tired, but once I got there I was wide awake. Today was back and chest day. Back training went a little better. I just got my muscle and fitness hers and there was a section on back training, so I followed that program and it went pretty well. Chest, well lets just say I need a good workout plan for that.

Cardio was intense. I feel better and better about cardio everyday. I am learning not to hate it quit so much. Dont love it obviously, but do not hate it either.

I wish that i could find a personal trainer around here. I cannot seem to locate one. I know that if I could get a personal trainer, they would kick my butt and make me work it as hard as I could, and I really think that is what I need. I will just have to keep checking around.

Today was Leg day. I worked entire lower body, hitting the glutes the hardest. I feel like I did a fairly decent job, but really believe I can go harder. I am really going to have to start pushing myself. My legs and glutes were shakey afterwards, but I want them to hurt so bad I can hardly walk out of the gym. Then I will know that I am working to full capacity.

I did 25 minutes of cardio. I did really push myself there. I did 20 minutes on the eliptical, as hard as I could, then switched to the treadmill for five minutes of running. I could feel it when I was done. I still do not like cardio, but I know that in the long run, I will reak the benefits of it.

Tomorrow is chest and back day. I am going to have to look around on this site for some good workouts for these body parts. I always dread back and chest the most, so I need to find something that will make it more excting for me.

I also did 7 minutes of abs, this to needs to be worked on. I will spend more time on abs thursday.

Hit the gym at 5:00 am, worked bis, tris, and shoulders. I did four excersizes for each body part, doing 3 sets of 12. I lifted weights for about 35 minutes, then went to cardio, where I really hit it hard. I did only 20 minutes but by the time I was done I felt like I was going to be sick, so I guess I really put a lot into it this morning. Now I am ready to begin my day!!!
