Started week 2 today. I'm so happy that I didn't give up, or postpone, the program. I was worried that I would do that considering all the stiffness I had in my left arm, but I feel as good as new now.
Today ended up being my first leg workout. I took it relatively easy, especially after my unusual experience last week. I still hit my marks, but I didn't try to overtrain everything right away. I'm aware that muscle strain and severe lactic acid buildup is a possibility if I don't work methodically after not having lifted weights in such a long time. So today I trained hard, not gungho, guyish, and stupid.
I could have had more meals today, but didn't. I'm not sure how I should go about fixing that other than just to make sure that I eat the requisite six meals every single day. Maybe I'll set my timer to remind myself to eat. Six meals just seems like a lot of food for me. I'll work through it though.
Overall, I'm definitely really happy I'm still with the program. I plan to complete the entire thing, no matter what. (I'm also not going to let the BFL interfere with my running routine. Just thought I'd throw that out there. I love running! I couldn't stop even if I tried.)
Oh, on a slightly different note, I sort of randomly connected with someone online that's also doing the BFL. Hi Caroline! Not sure how we met, but it's always nice to get a randomly nice email. Maybe that's what BFL is all about. Word up to that.
Well, that's all for now, typos and all. Peace.
