Okay, week 2 (or 3) is in the books and done with! I was super stoked that the week was dropped down to 4 sets of 15 reps. I was only minorly sore on both leg days and one back day. I think my order of the aminos is helping with the muscle recovery process. I took an entire day off from my diet yesterday because of my woman's retreat and I woke up feeling a little bit leaner. This makes me feel even less guilty about it. But I didn't track because you have to find a balance in your life, and I wasn't going to be able to have access to a micowave or a fridge while I was in the mountain. Not to mention my phone was basically out of service because I could not connect to the wifi and I had zero cell reception. It was pretty nice.
I noticed this week that I was a little achy during some exercises with my knee and elbow joints. I've marked it in my workout logs and I'll just have to keep an eye on it. I am also a little concerned that the sets of 12 didn't really take any less time than the sets of 15 which come back into play this coming week.
I just signed up for the Still In It bodybuilding.com challenge. I figured I'm going to be eating right and hitting the gym anyway, why not try to win some cash out of it? Last but not least, due to feeling tired from allergies/a cold I didn't want to go to the gym on Wednesday, and then I got pulled over on the way to the gym on Thursday which kind of ruined my mood for the gym also. So this week was definitely a I'm just happy I got here and did what I was supposed to kind of week. Oh, and I also realized that I should have tweaked my macros a little because I'm 152 pounds, which was pretty exciting because that lowers my protein intake and increases my number of carbs I can have per day. YIPPEE!!
Here's to a week of 4 sets, 15 reps coming on up!
