Well, I worked out again for the first time in at least two months on Wednesday.
It went really well, I didn’t even get sick (which I usually do my first time around). Today, however, I’d be lucky to be able to pat myself on the head. My muscles are SOOO SOOOOORE. Shit. I really need to get back into this so I can stand it.
I’m thinking, for at least the first month or two, dropping the weight way back and just going for quick reps, rather than pushing myself to exhaustion. I really want to find the right weight to where, when I do the last Rep, its that single one that is impossible, rather than about half way through each set. I may finally break down and carry a notebook and pencil with me so I can track what I do each time and judge how I need to adjust the weights.
Never the less, it felt good to get back in there and I look forward to trying, once again, to make a habit out of it.

Also give yourself about 2 days to rest those muscles you worked out and try to alternate. One day do legs, then skip a day then next do arms, then skip a day, back and shoulders and then by that time your legs will feel better and you can do them again. 🙂
that’s hot… mental image.
yeah, that’s my regular plan, I’ve just been away for much too long.
I like flattery.

It happens. I know how you feel. Getting back into it is hte hardest part.
