Solo Saturday! After a full day at work I am amazed at how much I look forward to hitting the gym now. I used to come home, and sloth on the couch until dinner, then maybe, maybe, I would go for a walk. Granted I used to bike to and from work then, but it just wasn't enough to up my energy levels. Now after work, I cannot wait to change and head to MBS. It is truly amazing, and if you knew me back then, as they say, you would be amazed as well.
Upped the weight again on the presses, and my short term goal is 50 lbs. next week; and I know I can do it. Feels great to be able to set goals and accomplish them. I used to have sleep problems but now on workout days, even on recovery days, I sleep like a baby. I feel great, and see no end in sight.
On Monday Tom has a new routine for me to try out and then weeks 5 and 6 will be a mix of all the routines so far. The only exercise I am shying away from is the reverse lunge; it's murder on my poor knees. I had a very active childhood, falling out of trees, crashing bikes, and such; and with being on my feet eight to ten hours a day at work, my knees just can't take it. I am hopeful that I can find something to strengthen them and continue my progression. The only way to find out is to keep on trying. Onwards and upwards!
