Time to bring sexyback....
I have let myself go way too much. I have taken atleast 3 months off from the gym and I do not like what I see when I look in the mirror so it's beyond time to get my body back.
Now that I am working in the office I should have more regular hours which will allow me to schedule my life better. I do have to schedule time right after work to feed and work my horse, however working my horse will also be a leg and core workout for me. |

Without further ago......
Short cardio & Chest Treadmill- 20 minutes 5 minutes: 3.5 7 minutes: 4.5 8 minutes: 3.5 Miles: 1.26 Flat bench 45 x 12 55 x 12 65 x 10 I'm amazed I could do this with so much time off.Incline DB 15 x 12 20 x 12 20 x 10 DB fly 20 x 8, 8 I decided I would go back to P/RR/S. With so much time off I opted for a modified rep range for the first week. All I have to say about today is.....OMG I am going to be so sore tomorrow The flat bench felt great and I was shocked that I was able to hit as many reps with those weights after so much time off. However, I felt the time off when I got to the last set of inclines. I wanted 15's for the fly, but they were MIA so I grabbed the 20's and body wasn't too happy, but I got decent sets done. I left the gym feeling a pump which I am still feeling now, 5 hours later ) Now to rest, relax and do it again tomorrow. |

Opps forgot to add...since I'm basically starting to train all over again... I may as well post that I'm starting out (as of this afternoon) at 128 lbs. I want to get down to atleast 120. I don't know what my body fat is and not sure I want to know. I'll try to get measurements tomorrow.

Now I just need to keep working on getting new physical digs. Things are still quiet at the complex, but no news on a suspect or arrests for the fire. |

Yeah it's dumping buckets of rain on us, but it's not too much above freezing so it's a really nasty cold rain. On top of it, temps are supposed to drop well below freezing tonight

Yep, just don't have cold running water yet again
Just over a week ago our bright maintance department worked on the cold water and forgot to turn it back on so the pipes froze. I'm thinking they have done that again for some ungodly reason. Atleast I have hot water so far. |

Well the front of my right shoulder still hurts a bit, think I may have actually gone beyond DOMS and actually strained the joint
I haven't made it back to the gym yet, however I did work my abs at home tonight |

I'm here. Just been getting out of work late. Planning to hit the gym tomorrow, but only if I am able to get there through the snow here. Hopefully our parking lot with the hill will be cleared, unlike right now

Take heart, Dev. A warm wind is blowing your way. It's in the high 30s here today (feels great in the sun!) and it is supposed to be in the 50s tomorrow! I'm betting you get it Tuesday.

I made it to the gym today
Listing my workout from memory since I was an idiot and forgot my journal in my gym bag that is in my truck. I have already made two trips to my truck to bring in laundry and groceries and not making a third on my tired legs. Legs with some cardio Treadmill- 20 minutes Miles: 1.35 Max HR: 165, Min HR: 125 Ave HR: 145 Nebula Leg Press 90 x 12 180 x 12 200 x 10 SLDL 45 X 12 65 X 12 85 X 12 Standing Calf Raises (feet normal, toes pointed in, toes pointed out) 3 x 100 x 10, 10, 10 My quads maintained more strength than I had expected. However, the hamstrings were not too happy with the SLDL. I think my hamstrings were tight to begin with and if I had stretched them out more the SLDL's would not have hit me as hard as they did. The calf raises were not too bad until the last set and I blew through the last set instead of doing a slower tempo like I usually do. Overall not a bad workout. |

Thanks Arch. It feels good to get back into it. I still need to manage my time a bit better, but it is getting there.
