M3:D37 Another one



What's on my mind today?

Today was another incredible workout.  I pushed a little harder today than last week because I wanted to see how far I could go.  I made it through to tell about it.

I had one of those days today where stress levels were high.  I realized that by doing my gym habit, my stress level is under control.  Even with outside influences on the stress situation, I was able to keep things under control today. 

We had a huge (long) meeting at work today and I have another one tomorrow.  I do mental exercises during the meetings just to stay alert.  I do the same thing when I do cardio.

I wanted to say that I really appreciate the comments all of you have been leaving.  It is truly motivating to know how many people actually read what I'm writing.  It is so much fun to read what you all have to say about my posts, plans and progress (the 3 P's).

Find out what I'm doing to my body!

Yet another tough weight training workout today.  I decided right from the start to push it even harder than last week's workout.  I wanted to see how far I could go with it.  In today's workout I managed a couple of personal bests.  The pressure I put on myself seems to be paying off in a major way.  Despite some very low carb eating, I have major energy and seem to be able to continually push heavier and heavier weights.

    Hi Michael,
    Your photos are really telling the story. Your chest is notably bigger, so guess the muscles are building up fast. Good for you. All´s well here in my world except that haven´t had enough protein the last 2 days. Will try tomorrow for much more protein to make it up. Dratz! Need to buy chicken breast fillets!
    My weight workouts are doing well and besides am noting down on some charts that DH made so am keeping up with the numbers. With all the excessive carbs lately, I can feel the fat creeping up. I promise to get back to more protein and better carbs.
    Love your blogs!
    Lynda
