So, I have slacked a little...

Rebecca and I have decided that working out every single day was a bit of an overkill.  Especially given the physical state that we are in at the moment.  So, we have revamped the goal of everyday to workout at least 3 days a week.  That feels more doable.  Then as we get in the habit of working out 3 days a week, we will increase the number of days per week by one until we arrive at seven again. 

I have been slacking in my blogging because, well, to be straight up honest, I totally forgot to do it the other day.  Sorry.

We worked on chest and arms on Thursday.  We used all of the machines in the gym for arms and chest.  I tried not to push too hard because I had to work on Friday.  Since I have to have my arms for my job, I decided I didn't want to be crazy sore.  But, I pumped out all three sets of everything we did.  It felt great.  I had already played volleyball a couple of hours earlier and I was not feeling the walking thing.  I got on the treadmill and my calves became instant fire.  I guess I need to start stretching more...or you know...at all.  So, in order to compromise, Rebecca told me that if I can complete a half a mile on the tread mill before she completed a mile on the elliptical then we could be done.  So, I pushed that baby all the way up to speed 5 (which is as fast as I can go at the moment) and I pumped my little legs as fast as they would go until I knew I could stop and walk again and still beat her mile.  And I did.  I beat her!  She said something like "Oh, look at you getting motivated!" and "Wow, you really don't want to do those three miles do you?"  The answer to both of those was I am done.  I wanted to eat, sleep and not be at the gym anymore.  You know what they say...."Its not your legs giving out, it's your head giving up", and that my friends is exactly what happened.
