Today, I decided to take it easy on myself and just do a brisk workout with the total body cross step machine as I finally recovered from the food poisoning. The machine’s perks are that it works the arms, shoulders, and legs as well as being a cardiovascular workout. I weighed in at 153 lbs today, so from this weekend’s antics of food and fun, I only gained a pound. That to me is surprising, considering I really had fun and thought I may have destroyed my entire workout in a span of 2 days. It is almost startling that from just a week of working out, my metabolism has kicked into high gear. It’s almost like a rebirth of my teenage years, but except I look much more mature and less like a boy.

My back muscles are healing rather rapidly and I have noticed a positive change in my posture as well. My arm muscles have finally had time to heal properly and I can feel a slight increase in my dexterity from it. My leg muscles are quickly going back to how they were in my younger days. The increase in progress is amazing and startling at the same time. I hope that for the rest of the week to push my all and continue this great progress! It is great knowing that every little bit does really help. Oh yes! My redline is now raised as of today… Hit a new record of a maximum heart rate of 222 beats a second. That was amazing on its own!
