But then again...it is only January 2nd. Had a good workout tonight. I hadn't been to the gym in 10 days I think (9 or 10) and while my heart rate was a bit higher than 10 days ago while riding the recumbent bike, I was able to do the full workout with no problems. Followed that up with bench/arms/shoulder work. Bench was rock solid, like I hadn't left. My arms were a bit weaker it seemed, but nothing that I'll worry about at this point.
Need to focus on my diet and keep at it at the gym. In the 10 days I took off, I ate like a pig and did little physically. It was a great refresher for me, especially having taken this past Sunday off so I didn't have to preach and got to actually go to church and listen to someone else for the first time in quite a while. The downside to all of that is I gained just over 2 lbs. I honestly expected it to be more. And considering that is a very small percentage of my overall weight, I'm not sweating it, but wish it hadn't have happened nonetheless.
If one meal could've done it, I know which one. I spent some time in my hometown with family, and while there I hit one of my favorite burger places. Double cheese with cheese curds and fries to boot. I'm not a fry eater, so I farmed most of them to the family, and I didn't finish the burger, but I did eat about 1/2 lb of delicious fried cheese. Some calories are just worth it.
May 2012 bring you closer to God and to your goals!
