Ok just got home and I have to say I am proud of myself for actually going and getting the rest of my workout in. I did change up my upper body lifting...man I have got a long road ahead of me. However I am finding renewed strength to acheive my goals

Good job Michelle. I like splitting the workout up anyway. It gives you more energy and focus than doing 1 long workout and it's pretty much a standard way for most world class athletes to train. Best way to make sure you're not just doing the same old thing all the time (some people train for years and never change anything, then wonder why they stay the same) is to keep a log book. To progress you have to get stronger, to get stronger you have to use more weight, use the same weight with less rest between sets or do more reps with the same weight. The log book helps to keep track and set small goals. It's easy to forget if you did 11 or 12 reps of bench presses last week with a certain weight, but if you write it down, check you last workout before you get started you now have a goal to beat. If you did 12, go for 11 or add 5 # and max out. I set Personal records at every workout. If I can't add weight or reps to my main exercise, I'll add something new to the workout...New PR. Because you're body gets used to same exercises all the time and must be consistently nudged to do more or something different. Most powerlifters change their main exercise every 1 to 3 weeks. Don't feel bad about sleeping in. I didn't too today. Rainy days do that to me. Earl

Well Earl and Mikee you two are my workout buddies I would much rather wear out then rust out Ok have a good night talk to you tomarrow!

We are finally in the 100's for every day this week so I will be living in the pool. Is the one jet spa like the thousand fingers massage, when just one finger works you will never sleep on your back again.

I learned my lesson the last 2 weeks when it was too cold to swim. I'm jumping in the pool every second I get a chance. I love napping in the pool. and getting some protein in Since I'm too poor to have a hot tub, I use the pump outlet in the pool as my 1 nozzle hot tub.
