I'm not new to exercising, but I decided it might help me to start a gym log. I never stopped exercising, even when I got to my highest weight, I just didn't do it as frequently . As I've lost over 40 lbs., I can feel my body getting strong, and it's motivating me to get it into the best shape it can be in. I was a college athlete, and was always in incredible shape, until I had a back injury while working a manual labor job about 6 years ago. That led to a major weight gain, and I've been up and down ever since. I started Atkins in March, & I've been excercising quite a bit, although somewhat sporadically. I hope this gym log will help me be a bit more regular in my exercise regimen.

Anyways, here's today's log:

Morning:

Walked 2 miles (w/DH)
Did situps (military style....have a PT test in 2 weeks)
3 sets of crunches
Bicep Curls
Tricep dips
Pushups

Afternoon:

Ran on my lunchbreak (I'm working nights). I estimate at over 2 miles. I ran for 22 minutes, with a couple of good inclines, and a nice sprint at the end. Felt really good after the run, although was starting to have some calf cramps. I probably need to take a potassium supplement on the days that I run.

Also lots of stretching throughout the day.
