Had a rough evening last night with my very strong willed and defiant 2 year old, so I was really needing to get away to the gym. Thankfully things wen really well there!
My strength is continuing to improve. I was able to bench 275lbs last night, which was big for me mentally. Two plates plus a 25 on each side. Nice. And even better, it went easy. Real easy. As in I wish I had put 300lbs on the bar because I think I had it easy. So what I'm doing seems to be working. I did arms and shoulders as well last night, and I am sore this morning. A good sore, but sore. Added in 20ish minutes on the treadmill to round out my night.
On Sunday I did 60 minutes of cardio. I got into a TV show so I first bumped it from 30 to 40 minutes thinking that would get me to the end of the show. Apparently it was a 2 hour long show because I added 10 extra minutes two additional times! And along with that I moved up the resistance on the recumbent bike for most of that period as well. When I got off I could really feel it in my legs, but again it was that good feeling of being very spent as opposed to a painful overuse burn.
Now I just need to start dropping some more weight to go along with these successes at the gym.
