1.1 lbs later

2nd Weigh In

     1.1 lbs is not much to brag about...but "FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER" (I know you sang that part)...it wasn't a weight gain. I will take my small victories. I didn't get to the gym as much as I wanted to, but I did eat a lot better. Probably due to the fact that car had so many issues and I had to dig into out grocery money to get it fixed. I started a new diet called "I am broker til Friday" diet. In the process and I have created some new concoctions that are quite delicious, and a few that are...lets just say edible. 

     But I have started off the week right and got to the gym and busted my butt in there today. I've been youtube'ing (is that a word?) new workouts to push myself. Today I followed a workout from a channel I subscribe to called six pack shortcuts. Here's his workout. 

Total Upper-Body Workout

• Dumbbell Rows 10 Reps/Arm
• Clapping Push-ups 10 Reps
• Dumbbell Shoulder Press 10 Reps
• Dumbbell Triceps Extensions 10 reps
• Dumbbell Biceps Curls 10 Reps/Arm
• Dumbbell Shoulder Shrugs 10 Reps

Complete 4 Rounds with a 2 Minute rest between rounds. 

I didn't go as heavy as this dude, but it started off pretty easy with my 30 lbs weight so I bumped my 2nd and 3rd rounds to 40 lbs and felt like I was lifting 100 lbs. So on 4th Round I did only 35 lbs. I couldn't do clapping push-ups so I just did 15 regular push-ups. It took me a little over 20 Minutes to complete the workout...but I got a good sweat in. I then finished my workout with a 10 minute ride on the stationary bike. I feel like I have set a good precedent for the week and my results will be more promising next week. So wish me luck!
