Back day. I wasn’t really feeling up for today’s workout. Maybe some stress about a day spent waiting for word on service to my car, half-expecting trouble or at least shady service. No such thing, I received excellent service from the AutoNation Toyota dealer on Arapahoe – they didn’t try to sell me parts I didn’t need, they serviced my car, and even threw in a wash when I picked it up. I ended up spending about half of what I was expecting, so that was a good thing.

Still, I didn’t have a lot of energy for the gym. I just wanted to get in, get my lifts done, and get out again. I hit back hard and fast, doing two exercises, five sets on each, to failure. Then, since I was done early, I stopped by the trainers’ desk and had my body composition tested again. It has been about 11 days since I last did it and I wasn’t expecting much of a difference, but got some great numbers. My weight had dropped a pound and my bodyfat two percent. That means that I’ve lost fat and put on a good amount of muscle in the past week. Now obviously, hydration levels play a big factor and I don’t think I’ve put on four pounds of muscle in a week, but it is good reinforcement to see concrete progress from my efforts the past two weeks. If I can keep going at this rate, hehe, it’ll only be eight weeks until I’m down to nine percent bodyfat. 😀
