How Do You Spell That?

It's been an interesting trek over the past month of working out like a maniac then having to take three weeks off because of various family obligations/illnesses.

Anyhow, last week I was finally able to start going to the gym more and more often. I'm finding that I like the quiet time and moving immobile objects (especially myself) through the stages. One thing I did notice when I came back was that I obviously didn't lose any of my muscle mass and I could just workout like I never left. However, the weights I was working were pretty easy. I could easily do 4 sets of 12 without blinking. So after some consulting, I decided to pack on the pounds on the machine in the hope of losing them on the user.

For the past week, I've been going in and pushing myself on various weights to the point where I can get maybe six to eight reps in one set. One unforutnate "benefit" of this is I haven't been in this much pain since High School. While it's nice that I have increased my weights by about 30%-50% on average, I know that it's at least working since moving my legs requires some deep thought.

Oh well, in six months hopefully this will be all worth it....current goal is to be down one shirt size by May 15th (graduation day).
