Day two...

Made it again... The gym was shocked to see me :P

It was a fight to get up but I did it.

Started with a run - 1.75 miles.

The first 10 minutes was really easy and I thought the run was going to be a breeze, but the second 10 minutes - it was a struggle. It took every motivational technique in my bag o' tricks to get thorugh, but I did and finished my 1.75 miles in 21:22.

Then it was off to the gym. Shoulders today.

Military Press (+bar): 50 x 6 / 50 x 6 / 50 x 5

What's funny here is that I thought I had 45 on the bar. Fiance sayed something about me lifting 50 before and I told him that 50 had been 'too heavy' and so I had desided to drop back to 45 again. He didn't say anything, but did laugh when I finished and suddenly realized that there WAS 50lbs on the bar... duh!

Dumbbell Press: 35 x 6

Lat Raise: 25 x 6 / 25 x 6

Shrugs: 50 x 6 / 50 x 6

And then I was done!

Food should be right on again today - I'm excited to be back firing on all cylenders.

Oh! and I got my Body-for-life on CD today... I'm REALLY enjoying it. I had loaned out my book a while back and that person never returned it. One thing that I'm enjoying is it's FORCING me to listen to all the MENTAL parts of the book again - the part I'm sure I barely read. I've gotten so much out of listening to these already!

It's probably just as well you didn't realize you had the 50lbs on the military press until after. If you had known it was there, you would have psyched yourself into thinking you couldn't do it. It really goes to show that a big part of training is mental, isn't it? I did the same thing to myself with assisted pullups a couple of weeks ago and was thrilled to realize that I needed less assistance than I thought.

Sounds like your doing some great stuff. 50 lb military presses would just about do me in (bad shoulders from swimming in college) but you sound you're kicking some major butt!! Btw I'm back in Gym and seem to be blogging again...2 days in a row for the blog 4 days in a row for the gym. We'll see!!
