Saturday – November 18, 2006 – I finally started going to the gym (Yay me!). Friday I went with a friend and today I went alone. I have to stay off the treadmill for a while because my knees are acting up so I decided to try the Elliptical machine. So Friday I did 35 minutes and my legs felt like spaghetti! That machine really works my thigh muscles. I can feel it right in the front of my thighs. Then I did some work on the weight machines. My lower body is really strong so I really should concentrate on upper body but Friday I wanted to see how these machines work so I did both. I also did abs and a machine that works the butt muscles. I did 3 sets of 15 each at various weights to really test myself.
Saturday Nick had a gig down in Orange County and after that his bandmates and girlfriends wanted to go to a movie. Since the gym and movie theater are in the same complex, I went to the gym while they went to the movies (since I had to drive them anyway). This time I did 20 minutes on the elliptical machine, inner and outer thighs on the weight machines, front and back of arms on weight machines, abs and 30 minutes on recumbent bike.
I noticed that I am very hungry after going to the gym and had to eat my L&G to be satisfied. I drink lots of water before, during and after the workout so I know it is really hunger and not thirst. Also, it is TTOM (day one today) so that might be part of the hunger thing.
