Day 1

It's almost noon and I'm eating my second meal of the day; bowl of Special K and a Whey shake. They taste a little bad, but I'm dealing.

My first day hasn't been perfect:

I started my upper body weight training at 8:16 a.m. instead of 8. Out of the 5 exercises I had for my 45 minutes, I was only able to do 3...in 54 minutes! It was my first time messing with the weights, so it took me a bit to get the hang of changing them. Then there was a grasshopper....nuff said. Threw me off a bit. Since the book said not to exercise for more than 46 minutes I decided to just finish w/ my Hammer Curls workout and call it a day.

 Let me tell you, it was horrible!!! I got really thirsty and started drinking a lot of water during the workout, and then when I finished I felt nauseous. Ended up throwing up all the water I had consumed. Pathetic.

 Then I fixed myself a whey protein shake and I was supposed to eat a bowl of special k, but I was not hungry at all. So I ate yogurt instead. Took me almost an hour to eat the yogurt and drink the shake. I also drank some more water.

In theory I drank 2 cups....I did throw up a lot of it though....so I don't know if I should count it or not. LOL.

One thing I learned from my first day of weight training: I am weak! 10lbs was the most I can lift on side raises and dumbbell extensions. I probably could have done more then 10lbs max for the hammer curls, so I'll keep that in mind for next time.

So this is how my first day has started; not all that great, but I'm not giving up. It's only day one, it'll get better. I'll get better.
