Crash

I repeated another workout (shoulders/chest) on Saturday. It was my first time by myself on the weekend. It wasn't as busy as I thought it would be. I think I like the weekends. Managed to gain either weight or reps on each machine. I must have written (or done something) wrong on one machine. My weight increase about 30%.

I did the leg lift thing again. It really starts out easy then my whole body gets tired. I did 30 and 13.

As I was leaving, poor kid next to my apparently can't pull out of a parking space and hit some other dude. It was freezing cold and one of them just had on shorts as they were exchanging insurance info. Sucks. He dented a beater car. I would have left it dented. (I guess that comes from living in Chicago).

Full body

Well, I wasn't as sore as I thought I would be after Tuesday's workout.

Went in today to work out with Meghan.  She had me do a full body workout.  It was rough.  Legs (I thought I'd pass out), shoulders, arms and chest.

I've learned that my left-upper body is WEAK compared to my right.  I need to ask her how to even things out.  I figured it was because I carried a computer bag w/ two notebooks for about a year while traveling.  

Goals from here on out:  going at THREE times a week.  Once on the weekend and twice during the work week.

Late

I haven't been posting as much as I wanted....this is a recap.

I unfortunately only have gone twice by myself. Was a bit nervous on the new machines...but found a trainer to make sure I was doing thing correctly.

Will update tomorrow....I did go into day and did shoulders and chest. Wow, I will be sore tomorrow.

2nd session

Had my second session w/ meghan on Thursday. That hour went by a lot faster than the first one.

We did shoulders, chest, triceps and hamstrings. I definitely have lots of room for improvement. The only part that hurt was the hamstring exercise on my bad leg.

I woke up the next day not being that sore....but for some reason, I was when I woke up today.

Anyway, meghan just emailed me telling me she will give me something to do for Sunday.

Finally recovering

I finally got a workout routine from Meghan via email. She sent it late yesterday. Enough and excuse for me not to go in. Instead, I managed to do about 15 minutes on the elliptical.

Tomorrow(today) I'll do the flex exercises.

Ouch Part II

Still hurtin' today. Maybe some stretching will help.

My trainer, Megan, said she would email me what I should do between my first and second visit with her. I haven't heard from her (and forgot to get her email). Not a good sign....but I am still sore so maybe I'll skip my visit. I can do the elliptical for a bit tomorrow instead.

Yesterday was a bad food day but I did eat a lot of spaghetti for dinner.

Ouch.

Ugh, I can barely lift my left arm over my head. I want to sit on the couch all day but going to the auto show.
