First day back at RWJ Fitness in Scotch Plains since Thanksgiving. After an epic day after Thanksgiving flag football battle that left me beyond sore for a few days I got back to the grind in the gym today. Quick 10 minute warm up on the eliptical then 4 sets of bent over rows with a 20kg Kettle Bell, 4 sets of lunges probably 30 in total, 3 sets of tricep rope pull down @ 35 lbs, and finally 3 sets of calf raises with 180 lbs on the 40 degree incline sled to keep building strength in my ankles after to separate (drunken) accidents left both ankles injured earlier in the year.
I jumped on the scale at the end of my workout and actually managed to drop a pound or two over the holiday weekend. I start my quest at 378.2lbs. My lowest point earlier in the year was around 345 after a couple months of being sworn off alcohol. Working at a bar it's very easy to fall into a habit of having a couple beers every night. This is one of the things I am definitely looking to change. No need to really be drinking anymore than once a week right now while I try to get moving on my quest. Goal weight is anywhere under 300lbs. It's gonna be a long and tough road but I know I can do it.
Providing some much needed energy for today's workout was our good friend The Magician who hails from the wonderful land of Belgium. Ahhh Belguim... Beers, Beats, and pomme frites... mmmm sounds like heaven. Enjoy the music and give it a try for one of your own workouts!
