I can do three sets of ten pushups now.

In late June, I could only do three sets of five or six, and the last set was really pushing it.

Exercise = walking to store, carrying groceries home.

I didn't exercise on the long weekend, so I did a mega workout on Tuesday. Actually, it was nice to get it all out of the way at once. I did the same thing today. I'll probably go back to alternating upper/lower body after the weekend. I'm travelling to my parents' house for a couple of days.

I'm surprised my gym log is still on the first page.

No exercise this weekend. I got a quickie LBWO in today. I'm going to have to crank it up if I want half decent results for BLF. I don't even really consider it BFL anymore, but the 12 weeks was still my deadline for comparing before and after. I've only got two weeks left.

Oh my... <b>October</b> is the last time I posted here?! Good greif. Well, it shows: I've definitely put on inches even though the scale hasn't moved, and I'm now getting winded doing everyday things. That's unacceptable to me. Time to get my act together again.

My general goal: resistance three or four times a week, alternating upper and lower body work. I'd like to vary the types of exercises I do, though they'll all be calisthenics. Cardio will be walking twice a week or so. Yes, that's cardio when it's -20 outside! You'd be amazed how fast you're compelled to move, and how high your heart rate gets.

So today: lower body.
-Squats two sets of 8, pushed to failure at 11 on the third set.
-Calf raises two sets of 9, failure at 12 or 13 on the third set.
-'butt blasters' three sets of 10, but I couldn't really find the failure point. I was sore from doing the other exercises. Maybe I shouldn't do those with squats anymore.

I'm sure there's a real name for my 'butt blasters'... I'll describe them: stand with legs apart, hold wall for support. Point one toe to the side and backward. Without moving the thigh at all, bend the knee so that you're pulling your foot toward your butt. It really works those hamstrings and butt!

Ooooooooooooooooh do my quads ever hurt! Gotta pick up some glutamine. Every Tuesday night, I walk to my other job, so that'll be my cardio for the day. If it's not too cold, I'll even take the scenic route.

Oh lordy - food poisoning gives you quite the involuntary ab workout. I was up all night Tuesday hurling, and boy did my ribs and abs ever hurt all day Wednesday! They're still a little sore.

I wanted to get some upper body work in on Wednesday, but I was too sick. I was still weak yesterday (Thursday), but I felt well enough to walk to my other job on Thursday night. It felt good.

Today, I feel 100%, so I'm doing a little-bit-of-everything workout. Everything but abs, that is.

A few minutes of stretching
Calf raises: 3 sets of 10
Pushups: 3 sets of 6 (! I'm outta shape!)
Butt Blasters: 3 sets of 10
Tricep dumbell lifts: 3 sets of 9

Wow, I've got sore pecks and triceps.

Exercise today was lugging a whole bunch of stuff to work in record time - I was nearly late. Then, I walked from work to the grocery store and did my shopping. Tonight, I'll be dancing at the club.

See? Exercise doesn't have to be unpleasant.

Happy Thursday. It's lower body day. I did:

sit ups - 3 sets of 10 or so
calf raises - 3 sets of 10
squats - 3 sets of 11

I noticed something cool on my squats today: I have good enough balance now, that I don't have to hold onto anything! I can get right down with my butt practically on the floor, and hoist myself back up with no help from the kitchen counter for balance. It's nice to see little improvements like that.

In other exercise, I walked to and from the armoury in the freezing cold. I had a lot of stuff to carry on the way home. Brr!

Wow, I'm sore all over. Light cardio today, which consisted of carrying heavy groceries home from the store. :P I'll probably get some aerobic dancing in later, since b/f will be going out for dinner with co-workers.

TGIF!

Forgot to post on Tuesday, but I got a breif lower body workout in. Squats and calf raises. Yesterday (Wednesday) I wanted to get some exercise in, but b/f was ill and I didn't want to wake him up. No biggy - Wednesdays, I have to haul a lot of boxes around at work, so...

Today: upper body
pushups - 3 sets of 10-11
situps 3 sets of 10-11

I wonder where that upper body strength came from! I can usually only do 8-9 pushups. I did eat an egg this morning, and usually I go on just a coffee... hmmm... I also had some glutamine last night.

Running late today, or else I'd do more.

I'm also hitting the grocery store tonight, which involves carrying the groceries home. I will also be transferring my hombrew, which involves lifting 5 gallons of beer several times.
