Actaully made it back to the gym twice this weekend (sat and today) after 1.5 months absence. Attempted to get back into my usual routine of running, weight machines and abwork. On Sat, paced myself with a nice walk/run routine, did about half/half, not too bad considering im out of practice...managed to do my normal routine of crunches but it was more difficult than in the past.
Today though I definitely felt the BURN. Tried to outdo the Sat routine as I ran much more than walked, i succeeded rather easily, to my surprise, but i got *very* winded afterwards and could not hit the machines with as much reps/sets. Despite that, i still managed to get a good workout out of it. Def felt the crunches this time around, also did less crunches as my abs ached like hell during the entire thing but i knew it was getting the job done.
Not bad for the first two attempts :) Hopefully it gets easier from here . Am going to try to go 3-4x a week going forward:) It would be nice to see significant results by summer. Need to start eating healthy again, kinda slipped up on that in the past few wks. |

I am still going to the gym 2 or 3 times a week but I am also more active in my everyday life. I am also watching what I eat and eating smaller sizes (which I think has had its greatest impact). I think I am have lost about 25 pounds since November and have another 20 to go.

I knew you were from Kenya. I just didn't want to assume that you knew how to cook African food :p
As for the gym, I turned it down yesterday. I didn't sleep so well so I was barely functioning just being at work. I brought my gym bag with me today so I will probably go around 1 o clock ;) |

anyways, def OD'd on the liquid calories this weekened. I had the BEST weekend EVER............ however, I think I gained 5lbs considering I had a drink in my hand at 6pm friday and only stopped for sleep the whole weekend.
stopped drinking around 9pm sunday night. :nervous: :nervous: Def need to work that off, because I am feeling sluggish and a million lbs heavier from it. :( :(:whip: |
