Day 3- Shoulders, Arms, Abs

Day 3 went by fast.  I started my workout relatively early, chugged down a protein shake after my workout and worked on eating breakfast by 10:30. (I know, kind of late for breakfast, but I had other things I was trying to get done in the morning). Then I set a timer to remind myself to eat every 2 hours just so I would get in all the food for the day.  And, I am happy to say, that today I actually finished all the portions on my plan.

My arm and shoulder workout was great.  Even though I'm only using 1 lb. weights, I could definitely feel the resistance in my shoulders, and my triceps got a good workout with the chair dips.  I could probably go up to 3 lb. weights next time without building too much muscle. The ab ripper kicked my butt!  You want me to do what, Tony?  Come up from a supine position to touch my toes without using my arms to help me up?  Yeah right!  I’m just not there yet. I didn't realize how sore I was from yesterday's workout (or maybe it was still from Day 1J ), but I struggled to keep up with the routines.  I took Damien's suggestion and removed my shoes about 2 sets in, and I took a lot of breaks, substituting crunches where I could.

Tomorrow, Damien and I will do our Yoga workout together, so I won’t be posting until late tomorrow night. Good luck everyone with Day 4!  We’re almost through with week one!
