Workout This past week, I made it to the gym three times. I did workouts for legs, back, and arms.Continuing last week’s trend, I went up in weights, reps, or both. I am incredibly proud of myself for this. It means I’ve been holding myself back and that’s not something I plan on doing anymore. I also know that I will be hitting my ceiling on these exercises pretty soon, but that’s a good thing. Then I will know concretely what to work...

Workout I made it to the gym three times this past and knocked out workouts for arms, shoulders, and legs. I manged to ramp up weights, reps, or both in some cases. I was pretty proud of myself. I also had a goal of doing 20 minutes of cardio three times this week. I managed only two and three quarters. The three quarters comes from trying to do cardio the same day as leg day. I could only get through 15 minutes out of the 20 before my right...

I made sure I got most of my workouts in and didn’t make any excuses for why things didn’t get done. I also learned my limits with eating. I learned not to eat too low for my present weight and not to eat beyond my limit. When I do either of...

Workout No workout today. I woke up this morning with all sorts of soreness. My hamstrings are tight and feel strained. My upper back feels knotted from all the pull ups and my low back is feeling the effects of the barbell deadlifts. Rather than push myself and risk injury, I decided to back off and take the day off. Caloric Intake/Macronutrients My calorie intake was balanced today. I made it just 41 calories under my limit for the...

Workout I woke up bright and early this morning and headed to the gym for the back routine of my superhero workout. I am very proud of myself because I went up on two exercises and will be going up on a third the next go around. Pull ups on the assisted pull up machine are still a bear for me. That’s expected though when you weigh 240 pounds on a five foot one frame. I went up 40 pounds on my barbell deadlifts. I definitely need to start...
