RECAP: Well, better last than never, here is the recap of last week.

There were some highs and some lows this past week. I met my most of my goals this week. I worked out everyday; I made my miles; and I made my hours of exercise goals. In addtion, I hit a goal I wasn’t even really trying for, I did 100 push ups in a single sessions (broken into four sets of 25). I feel pretty good about that, and I’ll try to stay at that number for a while and work on my pull ups. Ideally, I’d like to be doing 100 push ups and 50 pull ups three times a week. So, lot of good news, but some set backs as well – I wasn’t able to incorporate cardio into every workout. Why? Timing.

Here is the problem: I am strictly limited in how much I can run, so if I want to do cardio, a lot of it has to be at the gym, but my gym closes at ten pm, and there are some nights when I am not home by then (I know, life sucks).

The Solution: I NEED to work out in the mornings, if I don’t get up and get to the gym in the morning, I am not going to be able to do cardio every day. Period. So, the main goal for this week is making sure I get up and workout before work every day. That’s not that hard, right? Well, we’ll see. Anyway, here are the numbers.
