1/30th of the Way There

Alright, Day 3 in the books.  A good workout of arms and shoulders.  Understanding more about picking the right weight, though I'm kind of limited on weights right now.  I have an old plate weights that can be setup on dumb bell bars, and I played around with changing the weights out, but the pause to change the weight breaks up the flow a bit more than I'd like.  Also, the securing collar is kind of sketch, so I'm always on high alert to make sure the collar and weight plates don't go a-sliding off the bar.  I'm thinking I may pick up some hex dumb bells in the near future.  I have a set of 10-pound hex's now, will probably pick up a pair of 20 and 30's for now.  The 10's work well right now for my weak shoulders and triceps and when I'm trying to figure out the form of the exercise (I'm still new at this).

Made some adjustments on the ab workout tonight, keeping up where I could, breaking the exercises down into parts and just working on the form for each bit individually.  My abs still feel it all over.

On the diet front, I'm trying to stick to the plan, though I need to put some more thought into how the portions are counted.  Breakfast and lunch are easy to count, working in the snacks, figuring out dinner, and how recovery drinks figure into everything is throwing me for a loop for some reason when I try to count up my portions.  I'm feeling full and definitely feeling like I'm eating enough at each meal and throughout the day...potentially eating too much?  Will maybe jump on the google and figure that out some more.


Keeping it motivated.
