Still a little lazy

I might hit the gym today but time is running out. I think I'll start going at 2PM again. Need to show some effort again.

Hmmm, restarting the restart

Nine months into the year and I haven't kept a good schedule. That changes tomorrow.

I biked today but will start back at the gym tomorrow.

New year, new workout ethic

Just a quick post to get something out there. I restarted regular workouts this week. The only day I missed was Wednesday because of the snow. Instead, I shoveled snow for a full three hours. More to come soon.

Lost my notebook

I inexplicably lost my workout log. I never take it out of my bag and it is six months worth of workouts. Argh!

It is time to put everything on Google (they know everything anyway).

Finally, an update

Well, I have been much more faithful to my schedule since my last post. Three times a week.

I haven't always meet with my trainer for various reasons but still make it into the gym. I always have a much harder workout with her than on my own. I need to work on improving that.

So I have been in this for about eight weeks now. Certainly not a full eight weeks but I have seen some benefits. I have improved on the level of weights on most machines (but haven't kept good track....one MORE thing I need to improve). On the plus side, I've gained a solid five pounds. I think my goal will be about another 25!

Weak week

It was a bad week for me.  I went a full 7(!) days without going to the gym.

I had an appt with Meghan tonight but she had to cancel.  She had set up 3 flexible workouts for me.  I did the arms....but didn't do the full 8 exercises.  I think it is a mix of things.  I'm still not comfortable with every exercise so I tend to do the ones I remember well.

I decided to see if Meghan can adjust our workouts to maximize the number of machines/etc that we use.  Once I get more comfortable, I should be good to go.

Friday evening isn't busy

Friday is a great time apparently. The gym had the least amount of people I had seen since I joined.

I did another old workout. Shoulders, chest and something else. I also did the ab deal where you kind of rest on your forearms. While off the ground, you bring your legs up parallel to the floor. Before, I would just bring my knees up but my arms would get tired first. This time, I brought my legs up and managed 21 and 11. It felt much more intense so I will keep doing it that way. I want great abs!

I had to cancel my Thursday appt with Meghan because of work. We haven't figured out a time but I hope I can meet with her this weekend. She wanted to discuss workout plans going forward. I still need help 'learning' all the machines. I may keep a list of machines that I know and ones I need to learn.

Anyway, it was a good week. I went three times.
