Gym Diary: Thursday, September 13, 2012

If you want to see my food diary, click here.

     That's 126 / 72 at 98... AFTER gym, shower, and paying my electric bill at a bank.  I'm cool with that!

     I'm not dancing with any eat disorders.  I eat well, and I stay mindful of nutrition contents of foods I eat and drink.  Yes, I check my weight frequently, and that really has a lot to do with curiosity and monitoring my weight trends -- what do I usually weigh around breakfast time, around lunch time, around bed time.  I've even checked my weight before and after dumping some poop.  I'm enjoying the interesting ride, and I have reasons to think I'm managing a fairly healthy lifestyle.

     Today, my weight before breakfast was 71.5 and 72.6 afterwards, so there's been a steady climb over the last few days.  

     I'm talking to myself.  Isn't that what diaries are for?   So why publish it all?  Why not?

     When I don't state the kg of the weight I'm using to exercise, I state the machine setting like in the picture above.  It is set on 13.

     I love using the squat racks at this gym, but setting them up requires a bit of time, so I get fewer exercises done in an hour.

     For my first circuit of exercises, I did "roman chair dead lifts" first and went immediately to "dumbbell squats" to "lateral pull-downs."

     For my second circuit, I did "barbell squats," followed by " "front dumbbell raises."

     For my final circuit (and I was getting kinda tired by this time), I did "leg curls," followed by "seated rows.

     Here's the summary of my workout.
