I had probably the last WT for at least a week, probably 2 due to hand surgery tomorrow. While this does irritate me I know that not all the good I have done will be undone in a week or 2. I am going to do all I can to get back on the
treadmill as soon as I can.
I had one of the better weight sessions yesterday. I really cannot believe how my
body is responding to WT. I have graduated to what I call the 'big boy rack' of dumbbells in
gym- 60 lbs and above. I was able to do 3x8 of 75lb dumbbell presses yesterday- when I first began doing them a few weeks ago I could hardly do 45 lbs. I am doing one armed rows with 75 lbs now- those began with 40. 2x8 155 BB military presses- started at 105. I just really am impressed at how I am able to throw the weight around now compared to what I was doing 3 months ago. It is great to see the strength increase and see results and have things fit and just generally feel better. There are few things worse than being
fat, one is being
fat and weak. I may have gotten over the weak part- I should be at least average strength for my size now.
I was able to run 3.7 miles in 35 minutes again- this includes the 3 minute warm up and 2 minute cool down at around 4mph. I was doing real good but it was ungodly hot in the
gym yesterday. I usually sweat rather profusely but yesterday was impressive- I most likely will be in the 'those people at the
gym' thread either here or somewhere. I really don't care though, I sweat- deal with it.
I am worried about the surgery tomorrow and hope that all is well after. I need use of my right hand this summer! I feel all will be good though, I just need to be able to get back into WT as soon as possible. I am really making some gains in my eyes and want to continue to.
Eating was good yesterday, 2700 cal or so with nothing really bad- some borderline but nothing bad. I re-figured my maintenance somewhere around 3200 so 2700 is tolerable.
All in all if I can get back on the horse soon all will be good.
