I’ve seen them around the gym. Not everyone has one, but some do. After an Exercise they’re going in and reading. I always wondered what is in that notebook?!

Well after visiting my friend Mr. Google I found out. To keep track of progress, exercises and weights.

Guess what I’m doing?

Yup, I got a Notebook. It’s just a simple, purple spiral notebook that I’ve written down workouts to try. Day 1 – Day 4. Arms to the butt. I got it all in there.

So I have a notebook now. I plan on doing measurements when I get home. Perhaps one day, once I’ve hit my goals, I’ll share that with everyone. For now, nah. Not right now. I’m still very self-conscious getting on the scale, looking at myself, and just going to the gym. Why? I dunno. I go to a “judgement free” gym. (No. Not that one.) Granted the staff are amazingly friendly. Maybe I’m just intimidated. There are a lot of really fit people that go to the gym….I’m still a lard ass.

But I’m trying. I’ve made that first step on getting to the gym. Well, back to the gym. I lost 30 lbs last year. I was feeling really awesome. Then life got in the way. The new job got in the way. I made excuses. Today was day 5 of back at it though. This time I’m really pushing myself. I’m actually proud of hard I am working. Even if I at still a gym noob. I’m learning. I’m trying. I’m pushing it.

It’s also been over a month since I’ve had a soda. OVER. A. MONTH! I don’t even crave the caffeine anymore. What have I been drinking? Water. Lots and lots of water. My alcohol intake has taken a drastic downturn as well as my fast food consumption. I’ve lost 10 lbs just from the diet changes. So go me?

What makes it rough right now is the fact that I’m Sick again. Yes, I am sick again. This is the 3rd time I’ve been legit sick sick in two months! I’ve never been this sick, this much. It sucks.

But that’s that. I have my notebook. I have my workouts all written down. I’m ready to keep fighting the bulge!
