I don't know what happened to my journal entry for this day I wrote yesterday, but I'll write it again, sort of. This time, the executive summary.

Great workout, I'm really starting to feel the strength instead of just tired as I lift. I'm also seeing results even though it's only been just over a week. With my abs I can already get a little higher and get a little closer to my knee when doing side crunches. I also feel the strength coming back into my legs (squats are a little lower), back and biceps. So, here's the workout.

Workout 1
Abs

Center Crunches = 20

Right Crunches = 20

Left Crunches = 20

Left Lifts = 20

Reverse situps = 20

Legs

Squats = 3/8

Leg Extensions = 3/8 at #2 (the machine doesn't have weights, just numbers.)

Back

Dumbell Bent over rowing = 3/8 ~ 20 lbs.

Front Lat pull down = 3/8 at #6

Shrugs = 3/8 ~ 25 lbs.

Biceps

Seated Alternating Curls = 3/8 ~ 20 lbs.

Drag Curls = 3/8 ~ 15 lbs.

Feeling good! It was a rainy, awful day and I didn't get out of work until late and by the time I had a chance to go work out it was already 7:00 and I was hungry, but I munched on a few macadamias, drank some water, changed and went over there. It felt so good to do it, it serves as motivation to continue even on difficult days.

I can now feel muscle becoming defined underneath my skin. And speaking of skin, I can now pinch skin off of my legs whereas before I had more of a sausage thing going. Now I'll just have to fill that loose skin back up with muscle!

As for splits, I think I'm going to keep with workout 2 for Friday, but figure out a three-split workout for starting next week. I'm also moving rowing to Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Working hard and loving it.
