Good luck with your new journal, no slacking off

Yes ma'am.

Was SUPPOSED to start back tonight after a self imposed break for just over a week but that got cancelled since I had an emergency job to do tonight, had to replace a water heater in Allaire.

Well I do like the few days off that I have had and my body really needed this. Has been a nice little over a week off training though. I feel fat. Even though my weight remains exactly the same. Oh well tomorrow is another day. Back to it then. Think I will do legs first day back after my hiatus..

This is gonna be the fourth time the past hour that I have tried to update my journal an IE continues to crash. If it happens again I give up I'm not keeping a journal when I type everything out only to lose it when I try to post it.

Today is the first day back in gym in 16 days. I was originally
supposed to go back last week but decided to take another week off. I did keep my diet somewhat good since last week when I was supposed to go back so my wieght hasn't changed since I was off these past 2 + weeks.

Kept workout somewhat moderate and weights light to moderate as to allow my body to readapt again to being back in the gym. I am sure I will feel the DOMS in the next day or three.

Hey Hee!! You doing one BP a week?

Yes. Thats all I am doing.

Looks good! How long are you w/o's taking you?

Approximately 45 mins to an hour depending on what I do and how I feel at the time. I am usually pretty good at keeping my RI's close to where they should be during my workout.
