Day 4! Today's workout was all push-ups and pull-ups for 30 minutes straight. It was pretty tough. I thought I was getting back into pull-up shape by climbing as much I have been lately, but I was clearly wrong. Gone are the days that I could do these exercises for what seemed like forever. Now I am forced to suffer through them like everyone else. I thought my arms were going to fall off by the end of the workout. But I loved it. Getting better at pull-ups and push-ups will definitely help my climbing and I am looking forward to that.
The rest of the day went better as well. I still wasn't super tired at work so that tells me that I am settling into the workouts and my body is getting the rest it needs between them. Let's hope I can keep up the energy!
I did pretty well eating today and had all of the necessary water... and then some. It's actually getting a little easier to drink all the water. Kind of crazy that you are actually supposed to drink that much water.
Today is Thursday and that means I am supposed to get together with some friends and head to the climbing gym. I wasn't going to be able to go today because of some schedule issues, but it ended up working out that I could so it was my first two-a-day in about 25 years. It actually went better than expected though. I wasn't as tired as I expected, but I did tire out a bit earlier than normal.
My finger held up pretty well also. There was relatively little pain even though I was climbing pretty hard. I am hoping that I can sleep well enough tonight that tomorrow's workout isn't too awful being overly sore from the two workouts.
I am liking this working out thing. I always do, but it always takes some effort to get my fat ass off the sofa at first. Hopefully this time I can get in the habit of doing the right things and staying in shape so it's a lot longer before my fat ass sits on the sofa again.
