I bought two new workout books today. -The Bodysculpting Bible for Women, and the 28 Day Shapeover. Hopefully between the two I will come up with a consistent and effective program. I also bought a case of protein bars. I tried them at the gym, and they’re the tastiest ones ever! they’re peanut butter, graham cracker, and white chocolate, and so good. i also bought some new sweats for the gym.

           A new side benefit of working out is eating healthier. I almost dont even get a choice. I have to eat things that are good for me, or i feel disgusting. It makes eating clean so much easier for me. Usually a diet lasts a day or two, but weight lifting has made it simple: lots of protein, veggies, and water.

Tonight was a good workout for me. I’m going to start blogging my workouts to encourage me to wanna have something to write. Tonight i did 20 min on the treadmill of :30 sec sprints/2:00 min powerwalk. then i did the oblique machine 2/12 with 40 lbs, follwed by 2/20 roman chair leg lifts, and 2/20 crunches on a stability ball for abs. for legs i did 2/12 leg extensions w 80 lbs, 2/12 hamstring curls 80 lbs, 2/12 calf raise 80lbs, and 2/12 abductor/adductor 60 lbs. for arms i did 2/10 bicep curls 30 lbs, 2/10 tricep extension 30 lbs, 2/10 shoulder press 30lbs, and 2/10 assisted pullups 120 lbs. then i powerwalked with a 2% incline for 10 min for a cooldown.

 Well i’ve been working out for a few days now, and i definitely am already feeling better. I’ve been reading a lot of articles on here, and i’ve got a few workouts i’m trying out for now. In about a week my gym opens up so i can have a lot more variety in my workouts, but i still dont know what half the machines are for! i feel like a dumbass looking at the pictures on each machine so i know what to do. Hopefully if i try out everything i’ll feel more comfortable. Any advice from anyone on a good vegetarian diet is most appreciated. I read in an article that i should eat 1 gram of protein for every pound i weigh but that seems like a lot. Is that normal for someone working out???

Hopefully signing up here will help me reach my goals. I just joined a new gym that opens April 2nd or 3rd, and if anyone has any advice, i am more than willing to listen!
