Missing days... 44, 45, & 46

Wow... I had no idea I had missed so many days of blogging! Yikes!

Okay, here's the recap:

Day 44:
Tuesday, February 23 was day 44. I had a crapload of interviews to go on and barely made it home in one piece. After Monday's lg workout, I could barely walk. Sitting and rising and walking were all hard labor. My legs were stiff and sore like a mofo. Once I made it home, I was wiped out. I had an energy drink with the intention of taking it, getting amped up and heading to work out. But... I came home and napped like it was nobody's business. Once I woke up, I was dead tired. So, o decided on my old stand by, Pilates. Loved it. I stretched out afterward and felt a bit better. Then went to bed.

Day 45:
Wednesday, February 24 was Day 45. I went back to the gym. Ahh.. My legs still felt like crap, so no cardio that day. I worked my chest and triceps. I hit a personal best on bench press! I benched 225! More than my body weight! Wow... Well, the bar only moved a few inches, bu dammit I held that bar! Lol... My chest hurt and my arms shook but I did it. Oh yeah' I also found some great Addidas pants from Modells..they fit so nicely.. Ahhh...

Day 46:
Thursday, February 25 was day 46. Another fun day at the gym. Back and biceps. I did a vey short workout, but it was intense nontheless. I superset my back exercise with a bicep exercise. Assisted pull ups and dumbbell curl; cable rows and barbell curls; and lat pull downs with elevated bicep curls. Soreness has set in. Yikes.. Be blogging laters...
