4-21-09 Notes on first workout

Finished my first workout...holy heck! I was reminded how little muscle I have :) Alex had me doing squats, lunges, more lunges, more squats, presses, skull krushers, rows and curls. Whew!

I had to workout in the evening today and personally I don't think it worked well for me (I normally workout in the AM). I thought I had eaten enough to make it thru …big mistake. Half way thru I had to eat a cheese stick because I was getting dizzy.

Although my legs felt very weak and I literally had to hold on when walking down the stairs, the hardest part of the workout was the upper body work. For most of the exercises I could not do the prescribed reps and I'm talking complete failure...could not even move my arms.

I'm a little disappointed with the way I was feeling for my first workout. I didn't feel as strong as I thought I would have. I know it was because I had not properly fueled my body though. Now I know that working out in the AM is definitely what I need to do and I will do whatever I have to do to stick to that schedule. I have a funny feeling that this won't be the only lesson I learn on this journey......
