Check Up Jan. 15
by Chris Perrin on Jan.15, 2010, under Check Up
Also known as the day I wished my coworkers would have called during my workout. And those inconsiderate jerks didn’t.
Yeah, I worked myself to DEATH at the gym. Bench press, incline press, decline press and abs. I wish I had had a spotter because I think I could have eeked out a rep or two more, but I didn’t for fear of crushing myself under the 155 pounds of metal.
Still, it was a day of ups and downs.
The scale wasn’t as nice to me as I’d hoped. I was only down .8 pounds. That makes my total weight loss 10.4 pounds. Not a bad two week total, I was just really hoping I’d show a little more progress.
But, I vowed not to let myself get too down. Fact of the matter is that I don’t know what’s going on with my body, really. The fact I didn’t repeat my 9.6 pound loss could be due to the fact all my water weight is gone or that I am adding muscle or that I had a bunch of water the night before. There are lots of reasons other than I didn’t eat well and my workouts were ineffective. So I keep telling myself.
However, I did get back on track with the eating. My food intake was almost perfect. For that I am happy.
So was my work out. In the end, I returned to work sweaty, exhausted, and full of adrenaline having burned a nice 571 calories.

The scale has too many cruel vagaries to trust anyway.
So, as a somewhat serious concern, do you think you’ve allotted yourself enough recovery time for the exercise your doing?

Do you mean recovery after I’ve worked out or recovery in between sets?
Recovery after the workout…I do rush back, but I have the drive back to let my heart rate get back to normal. Plus I walked a half lap after running so it wasn’t such a severe jolt.
Recovery between sets… Yes. My workout is design so I do small weight, lots of reps and then give myself 1 minute rest. It’s what my trainer told me to do.
