I saw a picture of me as a Sophomore in College and I got depressed. I used to be SOOO thin! I don't mean to be cocky, but I looked HOT. So I decided I would try to loose 20 lbs... My mom even has helped me with this... we have a bet that if I loose 20 lbs by my cousins wedding she gives me $100... if I don't... well... I give her $100.
This is why joined a gym. I want to look like I was 7 years ago. Granted, 7 years ago, I could barely afford to eat, I hated dorm food (I LOVED the salad bar, but that was pretty much it), and I had to walk ~ 1 mile to classes every day (I also made that trek multiple times a day since I always went back to the dorms between classes). But, thats besides the point.
A few weeks ago I joined a gym and have been going with 2 friends of mine a few times a week. (Yesterday was the first day I played hookey from the gym!!) I do ~ 1 hour of strength and 20 minutes of cardio... I HATE cardio. Little did I know I sorta enjoy lifting.
A few weeks ago was the first time I EVER lifted weights... I mean I've picked up dumbbells before, but I've never done reps or sets or anything. Thankfully, the 2 friends of mine who weight lift with me are very experienced. They've taught me a bunch. I may not have proper form, but I'm trying to learn. When I bench press-ed for the first time, I could bench "the bar" however I could not do 3 sets... it was (I mean IS) pretty pathetic.
I alternate between Chest and Tri, Shoulders and Abs, Legs, and Back and Bi. I've done Chest and Tri 3 days... Next time I do Chest and Tri, I plan on attempting "the bar." We'll see how that goes.
