Fridays Workout: quads and triceps

It’s been 5 days since I have been to the gym. I do not know what my problem is. I am always tired, my BP meds make me tired, I’m slow, and I’m am always hungry!!!

My BP meds are not working so the Dr is giving me something new.

Last night I hit a low and this morning I kept telling myself, “Live Clean, Eat Clean, Be Clean.” This moto helped me not to pig out and feel low.

After work I napped and watched tv.

Thursdays Workout: quads and triceps

Today I woke up feeling well and with energy. I got to work and didnt over eat. but snacked several times during the day. Its hard to diet and its hard to diet at my work. I had my Body By Vi for breakfast, a mid morning snack of tuna and

avocado for lunch and a small piece of cake a co worker made, and salad and fruit for lunch. I did have a doughnut and some ice cream after lunch. I was craving a sweet snack and its also a bad thing working at a clinic where the drug reps bring us lots of snacks all day.

After work I went to the gym and was stopped by a guy named Terrance. He was interested in why I was wearing scrubs and what I did for a living. I explained that I am a nursing student and work for a clinic as a medical assistant. I told him I have been going to ACC and once I am finished with my pre and co reques I will transfer to Texas State for their BSN degree.

He told me he wants to be a pro football player and is interested in nursing as a back up plan if foot ball does not become a career. He said he has to wait for financial aid but will apply for ACCs nursing program.

At the gym there were not that many people and I started my workout. Mid way in my workout the gym became packed and no room to finish. Today seems to be leg day. I am thinking about going to the gym in the late evening again.

Friday’s Tricep Workout

Afterwork I hit the gym an had a good workout. It would have been better if I packed the pair to my right weight lifting glove.

I worked out without it.

VBar, dips, overhead extensions, kickbacks, and some abs.

I did document my lifting but I guess I did not save it.

Now I am trying to chug my protein drink. Next, relax and clean up a bit before an evening jog.

I did plan on going to the gym on Tuesday but I didn’t. I was suckered into watching like three hours of Ancient Aliens. I love that show!

But today the usually and work was work but I have everything done. After work I went home and spent time with the BF. I didn’t take my nap just watched tv and relaxed.

Since I have been up since 530am with no nap I decided not to do any cardio.

The Return!

It was funny how my 15min cardio didn’t seem like a fuss this time around. It’s been almost two weeks since I have been at the gym and today felt great.

The only problem today is that there was so many people there so I cut my workout in half.

Looking forward in going tomorrow after work to finish up and then yoga class.

Saturday’s Workout

Another day at the gym. This time I skipped cardio a focused on my biceps and triceps.

As always I did push ups because I have little upper body strength and feel by doing push ups I’ll train by body and at the same time define my pecs. This time I did diamond pus ups and I have to say it is the worse and best workout ever!!!

I am about to finish cycle 1 of A50 and Monday I star cycle 2 and add AHD and Solid to my supplement intake.

So far I have seen small changes with my physic and even though I started mildly dieting and my arms are slimming doing my chest and thighs still seem to keep its definition. The best noticeable change is that my stomach is flattening. Its only a matter of time till my abs start to form. The major change I have noticed is my body odor especially while working out. I smell like a high school locker room and that is not cute.

Quads and Triceps

I went to be by 10pm and the next thing I know it is 430am. I was not ready to get up and work out. I got up and headed for the gym.

I am wanting to transform my body so bad but the most important and the best thing to do for myself is dieting. I do not mean starving my self but to eat right and eat enough and not over eat.

My calves are still sore so I skipped cardio. I did however did a warm up exercise which really to my heart rate up and out of breath.
