8/15 and 8/16

Hit Planet Fitness both days for my walk/run on the treadmill.  Felt good but I can't wait for fall to get some outdoor runs in.
In addition to the structured workouts I also hit some high numbers on my Fitbit both days!  My goal is 10,000 steps and yesterday I got 13,890 and today 16,406!  Might have to up my goal to 15,000!

8/12/15

Cardio only day.  Since I fell when out on a walk the other day I decided to go to Planet Fitness and walk/run on the dreadmill instead.

The way I like to do my walk/run goes like this:
2 min walk
2 min jog
1 min run
Repeat 5 times.

My walks were at 3.5, jogs 4.5 and the run was 5.5.  I messed up once and hit the 5.5 when I was supposed to be jogging and ended up doing 3 minutes of the 5.5.  Not bad since I haven't run at all in a long time!
When I got home I decided to be productive and cleaned my entire garage gym!  It gets pretty bad with leaves and dust and spiderwebs (gross!)  I can't wait to workout tomorrow morning in there!

8/11/15

Well here we are at the last few weeks of summer vacation.  I have actually been pretty consistent 3-4 days a week with my lifting.  Not so much with cardio and eating/drinking though.  So I have not lost anything at all.  If fact I'm probably up about 5 pounds.  I'm not stressing though.

One thing I do want to do is really start logging my workouts again.  I found an old training blog I used to keep and it had a lot of great info in it.  I had recently hurt my left shoulder and thought that it was because I was "old" now and that it would never go away, well back in 2009 I had the same thing happen with my right shoulder and now it is as good as new.  (my left shoulder is actually pretty much healed up as well, but I still had those horrible thoughts that it wasn't going to go away)  Reading that blog showed me how important it is to keep a record.  I have been recording everything in my composition notebook and I'm not going to go back and log it now, just starting off with today!

So I'm doing a 4 day rotation this was day 4:

BB Squats 2 warms/4 working sets
45/10, 65/10, 100/5, 5, 5, 10
Stiff Leg Deadlifts 2 warms/2 working
45/10, 10, 65/10, 10
One Arm Rows 1 warm/2 working
20/10, 24/10, 10
Close Grip Pulldowns 1 warm/2 working
50/10, 70/10, 10
EZ bar Curls  1 warm/2 working
20/10, 30/10, 10
Abs
5/10, 8/10, 10
