Today was all about getting home. I helped out with what I could and feel like I made a difference. I was glad to be heading out early to beat traffic on the way. Traveling is always a wild card adventure since accidents, construction and weather can make a short trip take all day. I was lucky and only had one area of 20 mph traffic and that was within 20 miles of my house.
I ate a normal breakfast and had an apple plus a special k crisps bar as a morning snack. I hit subway for a chicken breast sandwich as my lunch break and did not eat again until I made it home when I had an orange. I felt like exercising since I did not his morning, but I did not feel like going to Bally’s. I decided on a garage weights workout. I spent 50 minutes lifting so it was good I did it. I felt strong and needed to push my muscles some. This is also a prelude to the workouts I might be doing over the next 6-8 weeks.

That felt really good! I know it is lower weights than I push at the gym, but it is also a chance for me to focus on some higher reps with lighter weight for a few weeks. No matter what I will hit the gym once a week and do a heavy lift day, maybe on Saturdays. I will be weighing myself less and will need to go on how I am feeling more now than ever. That might be a good thing, We will see. I will be in the gym in the AM to do a normal workout and get my weight.
