In keeping with my quest to stay accountable, which includes this daily journal, here we are. Another gym day with pretty good results. A couple of the exercises I'd been "stuck" on, specifically shoulder presses and rear delts. Through the weeks I'd been unable to increase the weight (and we're talking super low @ 20 lbs. Prior to today, getting through the 3X10 reps was really hard. I'd have to split them up by the second set of 10 into increments of 7's. By the end my arms would just be burning. Today though,,,yippee 3X10 achieved 10 at a go. Was it easy? Nope. But it finally happened. Couldn't be happier as it is proof that stick to it and you will get stronger. I'm not looking to become a body builder, however my nutritionist tells me that by building muscle mass, in the mid/longer term my metabolism will be more active as well. Despite looking like Humpty Dumpty, I already feel better and stronger. The gym is a fabulous outlet for not thinking about anything more than doing the work, focusing on form and breathing. Kind of confers the same benefit that gardening does for me. Total zone out and focus on the task at hand.
