Poor Assessment

Hello from shameville. 1st assessment where I had not lost any weight or made any significant improvements. I have been working out with Joey for 5 months now and this was the pits because every other month he and I both have been impressed with my assessment results. The good news is: I did not GAIN any weight, I lost about 2 inches total between arms and waist, but all other measurements and weight stayed the same. I LOST strength in arms and legs *I have been doing cardio but slacking on weight training. I also just maintained my HR post 3 minute steps 160 bmp. My resting HR was 96, YOWZA. I am quite sure that this is just nerves because I knew the results were going to be crappy, because I had totally let myself punk out over the last month. So in honor of my new resolve so I can avoid the walk of shame next month I am posting a few workout photos today.

Beautiful Day For A Hike

Decided yesterday evening as I was leaving for work that I really wanted to get outside today so Dausset Trails here I come. I went by the gym first for strength: BICEPS and BACK and then decided to do some CARDIO (just in case I took a leisurely hike through the woods). I ran by the house for a quick ham and mustard sammie then off to enjoy nature. These frog eggs were sunning in a collection of water on a big rock by the creek. I managed to eek out some jogging along the trail off and on and manufactured some vitamin D in the super bright noontime sun. Everywhere you can see the signs of spring popping up with little buds on all the trees and not to forget the sniffy nose = )
