What started as a routine week has turned into an unexpected week. I'll explain in my weekly summary. This week nutritionally has been about 70/30 healthy and today Saturday was my first workout of the week doing lower body. I will be piggy backing tomorrow with another lifting session but for upper body and continue on to week 5.
Long day in New Orleans, but made my trek back to Chicago this evening. After spending some time with my family, I snuck out to the gym. Had a good workout with some new highs on biceps and shoulders. I know have been home for about an hour and just stuffed down my shrimp and bread, time to hit the sack. Not sure if I'll be able to hit cardio in the morning before work, as I need some rest.
Today was a long day and I stayed out later than necessary. Although I had every intention of running on the treadmill, I fell asleep after I had changed and laid down in my hotel room.
I'm in New Orleans for business and didn't have a chance to work out until late tonight. I had to change my workout yo a dumbbell based lowers leg workout to get through it here. I had been doing great with no alcohol, but did have a few glasses of wine at our business dinner. Disappointed I gave in, but at least it wasn't beer.
Cardio did not happen. My pinched nerve has been bothering me all night and day and hoped that by tonight it would feel better, but no luck.
Not a good week for me. Nutrition was horrible at least one meal during the second half of the week blew my calorie count. Need to get my head on straight...
We made our trek back home from the Dells today and stopped at The House On the Rock on the way back interesting place. After the family passed out, I managed to hit the gym and have a decent workout. All day I had a little sharp pain in my lower back like a pinched nerve and I think driving and having to tote around my 15 month old through the house in the rock didn't help. Hopefully, it won't get worse than it is, because this will aggravate more with running.
