Workout Results #2 & 3

My appetite has increased significantly with my workout.  With this increase comes a better awareness of what I eat and making sure I don't splurge too often.  I miss being conscious of my food intake.  Hopefully I can start shedding pounds (and keeping them off for good!) within the next couple of weeks.  Wish me luck!

Wednesday morning I did another 2.25 miles on the treadmill and 50 crunches.
Wednesday night I did a shoulder & tricep workout.  After much debate, I decided to walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes instead of running so I could give my legs a small break.  I then did:
  • dumbbell incline shoulder presses
  • dumbbell lateral raises
  • dumbbell triceps kickbacks
  • cable tricep pushdowns
  • dumbbell calf raises
  • 50 crunches
I must say that I think that triceps are my least favorite workout, but only because it hurts so much.  Haha!

Thursday was my off day because my legs were hurting worse than Wednesday!  Today I woke up again with soreness in my legs, but I went to the gym anyway after dropping the hellion off at school.  I can't quit now!  & I must say the soreness is a constant reminder that I'm doing something right & that it won't be too long before I start seeing the results I want.  Today's workout is my favorite workout to do, back & biceps:
  •  2.25 miles on the treadmill
  • dumbbell rows
  • pull downs
  • hyperextension
  • dumbbell curls
  • preacher curls
  • 100 crunches
I think the back & biceps workout is my favorite because it's the one that I see results the fastest with, and the workout isn't that hard.  I was a little disappointed after I weighed myself because I haven't lost any weight yet, but then I had to remind myself that it's only been three days and that learning to be patient needs to be on my checklist.  Haha!

After I left the gym I went home and was a complete bum for the rest of the day, which I don't do very often.  It was nice. 

(This is the last time I'm going to post my workout results.  I'm aware that they can be boring and not fun to read.)
