Well, I'm not gonna lie. I woke up a bit sore this morning. But it was a good sore. Last night was my first run through of the Week 1 exercise routine. It was tough going and I didn't make it through all the reps for all the exercises. That's what you get for doing diddly squat for two years. I will say this though, the routine is not complicated and I can see myself sticking with it. It really does get your heart rate up and you can feel your muscles working. I feel it most in my shoulders and thighs. The thing I keep telling myself is that it's not all going to happen in one week. I have lost a fair bit of muscle over the past two years. It's going to take a while to build it back up.
I took some "before" pictures on Sunday night. I'm saving those for after I've met my goal. I still need to take some body measurements though. I modified the progress tracking sheet in the book to include a few more body parts as well as BMI. I stepped on the scale this morning and was down another pound so that's encouraging. I'm trying not to get too caught up with the weight thing right now though. I really want to get past the soreness and get my muscle memory activated again. It'll be nice to be able to get through all the reps and gradually step-up to the more advanced routines. And with that, I'm off to the basement for some more pain and sweat.
