Day 22: May 8, 2000

Into week #4 and feeling great.  I decided to make a slight change in my Leg Training.  Although my leg workouts have been good, something seemed to be missing.  So today, I decided to go back to what worked for me in the past.  I modified it a little based on the B.F.L. workout and a keeping the rest between sets the same.  The split of Upper Body and Lower Body workouts will remain the same but have added a bit more to my leg workouts.  My leg training workout now looks like this:

Exercise Weight Reps Intensity Exercise Weight Reps Intensity
Leg Press 180 12

Leg Abductions 110 15 8
Leg Press 270 10 7 Leg Abductions 120 15 9

Lying Leg Curls 80 6 9 Seated Calf Raises 110 15 10
Lying Leg Curls 70 12 10

Doing this workout only added about 15 minutes to the total time of the workout and I still came in at about an hour total. 

I also went back to doing my leg workouts wearing water slippers.  I love the stretch I am able to get, especially on my calf work.  When I was done, I had the best burn I have felt in a long long time.  

Day 23: May 9, 2000

Before I left the gym last night, I got paged and had to return to work to fix a problem.  Due to that, I returned home late and decided to hold off on my cardio workout till after work.  My meals got a bit backed up today, due to a bunch of little things cropping up at work, but got five in.  I also let three hours go by between my next to last meal and my cardio workout.

Again, I added an extra ten minutes for a total of thirty minutes on the stationery bike.  At the end, I was totally drenched and it felt so good.  I also gotta make a note that some of my pants, which at one time were very tight, are beginning to loosen up.  All I can say is:  IT'S WORKING!!! 

Day 24: May 10, 2000

Was proud of myself today.  I was home today, because I had to take care of something for my mother.  When I was done with that, and before taking care of a few other things, I returned home to make a Myoplex shake.  I admit, I did fail to plan my meals for today, but I did make up for it a bit by doing this.  I was sitting in the car trying to figure what to do.  I wondered whether I should get a turkey breast sandwich, or return home for the shake.  The urge to cheat was also there, but I didn't.

Got my Upper Body workout in today before picking up the kids from school.  It was an all out attack and I felt great at the end.  I was TOTALLY PUMPED!!!

Day 25: May 11, 2000

Once again, was up bright and early to get my cardio work in.  30 minutes on the Stationery Bike and worked up another good sweat.  Was tired when I got to the gym, but the cardio work definately woke me up and energized me.

Day 26: May 12, 2000

Today, was supposed to be Leg and Abs day but it wound up being my Free Day due to an event going on at work which went very well and was a great success, but it totally made a shambles of my eating plan for the day.  The only thing I ate correctly was my morning breakfast meal.  As the event went on, I found I was totally unable to get any of my meals in correctly so I made a change on the fly to make this my free day for the week.  I will get back on track tomorrow. 

Day 27: May 13, 2000

OK, the end of this week was not a great one.  I again missed getting to the gym today.  Some more unforeseen obstacles arose and threw the timing of the day completely off track.  Gonna wait till Monday to get back on track being tomorrow is Mother's Day.  We are having company over so I know my time is gonna be totally taken up with that.

Day 28: May 14, 2000

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the mothers who may visit my site.  Getting myself psyched to get back on track tomorrow with an awesome Upper Body workout.  Till then.........

Note:

I did get my scanner hooked up today and I will be taking some progress pictures this week to post.  These will include my "Before" pictures which are still sitting on the film in the camera.  So don't forget to come back and check out: Week 5.
