It's On & Poppin'...

So I worked out last night. Week 2 of the BRONZE Phase. Got 15 minutes of cardio in to warm up (while reading chapters 1-4 of Proverbs in my Contemporary English Verion of the Bible), and then got to my circuit - (1) seated leg press, (2) seated row, (3) ab crunch, (4) tricep extension, (5) bicep curl, (6) chest press, (7) shoulder press, and (8) hamstring curl. Instead of doing the circuit straight twice, I just did 2 sets of 15 reps on each exercise. That shoulder press got me - I could only do 11 of 15 reps on the second set! I didn't do a cool-down at the end, because I was having such a good conversation with Larry, one of the trainers. He was supposed to do a personal training session with me this evening (a free perk when joining this gym), but the gym is requesting to reschedule the session. I'll call them later. I felt good about putting on clothes this morning for work - this pair of penstripe pants I'm wearing are normally EXTREMELY tight on my waist. This morning, I was able to button them closed with two fingers of room to spare between my waist and the waist of the pants! I put on a belt with them, and I had to close the belt at the 4th loop hole! And... my body is obviously getting used to working out again - I'm feeling no soreness at all this morning! I wonder if it was the post-workout stretching I did... well, I feel minimal soreness in my pectorals and shoulders... but I feel good... :)
