What a Difference a Month Makes

Due to recent setbacks, I hadn't worked out at the gym since feb. Now, I am back again. I am going into overdrive this time, to gain back what belongs to me. My muscle!

Workout
I made it to the gym today. FINALLY! My body was like in shock. My muscles are SINGING right now. I am so thankful that I worked out. I did all the same excercises, and ALMOST the same weights....SOOOO close. It is absolutley amazing what can change in one month. I lost some mass, for sure....but it didnt take me long to gain it in the first place, and it wont take long to get it back. I am going to plan a serious menu today, clean out the fridge, and shop tomorrow morning. Protein shake is going to go on my list as well. Its really time I buckle down and start drinking those things. yummy. NOT....I am trying, ok!

Today I did:

Bench Press-45#, 3 sets: 8, 6, 5
Leg Press 100# 5 sets 8, 8, 8, 8, 6
Dumbell Shoulder press an easy 8#: 8, 8, 8
Curls: 12#, 8, 8, 8
Sit ups....So embarrassed....12. LOL.
Standing Calf Raises: Challenging! 120# 6, 6, 8
Seated row: 60 lbs 5 sets, 8, 8, 8, 8, 6
Tricep Pulldowns: 3 sets: 50#, 8, 8, 8

This marks the last time I let life keep me away from the gym for 3 weeks. I no longer need to work out with my husband (even though I would rather-cause we have so much fun!) But from now on, I need to focus on my goals and realize that I am the only one, with God's grace, that can get me where I want to be.
See you all next time!
Love,
Jenny
