Ok, I am roughly a week back into the fitness arena. The first week has been an improvement over how I have been living, but by no means perfect.

The Good: I am down 6 pounds and 2 inches from my waist! (YAY!!)

The Bad: I still ate off plan, and I drank on two occasions (something I have not done in years in the same week)

Keeping a fitness blog for me is about accountability. Even if I am only being accountable to myself. I don’t care if a single person is reading this. So why don’t I keep a private journal? Well, not sure, lol. Being accountable only works though if I write the good and the bad. So going forward, I hope to update a few times a week with how I am doing. I doubt very much I will post everyday, but I do need to update several times a week, just to keep myself honest.

I just got back from the gym, and had a great workout. I am training one bodypart a day with weights, and doing cardio everyday as well. Back workout and 20 min on the treadmill was 42 min total. Works for me. I have spent much of the past 3 weeks on vacation or off. This week is my first full week back so I am getting back to reality. For the next 7 weeks I am working 11:00 am til 7:30 pm, so the plan is workouts in the am at the gym, a little wii at night. Simple enough.

Today’s weights:

fixed pulldown 4 sets 12 reps
hammer pdown 3 sets 10,10,8
cable row 3 sets 10,10,10
hyperext 10,10,9(last set holding 5 lbs weight)

treadmill 20 min fast walking 3.8-4 mph 140 cal, 1.25 distance

off for a quick bite to eat and then to work. Make it a great week!
