wow, just call me threadkiller.   

guess I'll go to the gym.

OK so I haven't had cup-o-noodles or a Monster in like 3 days

Am I fit now?

fit for what?

The Monster is fine as long as they are the sugar free (blue) Monsters and you don't drink more than 2 a day (the 16oz ones, not the 32)....

oh boy. he's in trouble.

So update o' the week.

Ran every morning this week for half an hour. Averaging only about 3 miles, as I'm running with the dogs, and they're fairly insistent on sniffing at things.


Lifted Monday, Wednesday, Friday, primarily concerned with shoulder work (due to an injury), but also worked out arms, chest, back. Managed a second run in on Friday (40 mins).



I'm starting to feel terribly energetic    I'm still at 210 pounds, but the belt has come in two notches, so I'm gaining muscle.




I'll be in great shape for the flounder chucking contest at DIMBY 2.0.

Down 10 lbs.  8 to go.

I don't own a scale, so I have no idea if I'm losing or what.  I'll just measure my results in stamina ~

2 weeks in now.

This past week I got in about 4 workouts...but I've been terribly busy too.

This week my goal is to actually MAKE time to do some working out.

So far no real noticeable difference, except I'm not super sore afterwards....so thats a good thing. I'm not in it for the short term though, this is a long term goal for me.

i thought my core was stronger than it actually is...

my abs have finally stopped hurting from last tuesdays ab's only class at the gym.

should i keep doing that class or are my abs trying to tell me something?

Maybe work up to the intensity.  My thighs hurt for 3 days after doing monkey rounds one day.

Your body is trying to tell you that you don't use them enough. Keep it up...

Especially in the beginning of a fitness plan, it's super easy to overtrain, especially when doing isolation exercises.  The way I've managed it, if I'm still sore after I warm up, it's not a good day to work out.  I know a woman who got rhabomyolysis in her abs from overtraining them (combined with poor hydration) on a GHD.  The most recent time that I overcooked it was doing back squats.  I was hobbling for three days.  10 days later, I did the same progression of weights and wasn't sore at all.  Your body will get stronger, but just be careful not to get so sore that you miss workouts.  There is good sore and bad sore.  Good sore tells you you're making progress.  Bad sore makes you miss workouts.

thanks for the feedback.
i've been to the gym everyday this week so far, cardio & light weights,
i skipped the abs-only thing this week, i think i'll give it another try though
