Well it's been so long since I had been to my boxing gym that I forgot about it being closed on Fridays but not to worry I made it to the YMCA where I am also a member and got in a very solid cardio and weight lifting workout. 30 mins full throttle on the elliptical, 3 sets on the bench press (which was harder than usual because my arms, chest, and shoulders were sore from boxing), tricep pushdowns, and ab work until I felt like I was going to puke. It wasn't a "fantastic" workout but it's great seeing how long it's been since I have worked out on a regular basis. The cardio was amazingly easy compared to shaddow boxing or hitting the heavybag...I guess that shows how much I'm putting into my punches and maybe I need to pull back some.

Monday we start again, and I'm looking forward to another great week of workouts and eventually doing squats to strengthen my legs which will in turn help my power and help me lose more weight as your legs are the biggest groups of muscles and therefore once "turned on" with the rest of the muscle groups they really help you burn more calories.

I've been eating pretty healthy too...aside from caving on my "I'm not going to drink the entire month of January" promise (work and family pushed me to do it for the sake of my sanity) I haven't been doing much wrong. I had an entire bottle of wine Friday night but with a huge ribeye steak and steamed veggies so that's not "horrible"...it was a great bottle of wine though
