I’m not sure where the rest of the day went. I did more homework, a little stuff on the computer, then it was pretty much dinner time. After dinner I put some laundry in and got my lunch stuff ready for the morning. I’m planning to try and get 45-60 mins of cardio in before I go to school in the morning. I figure with a quick protein shake and a piece of fruit I should be good to go. I may not need as much ‘wake up’ time as I do when I lift in the morning, so we’ll see how it goes.

So now I’m just waiting for my clothing to be dry so I can hang it up and then I’m off to bed!

So this is me for the next two weeks on two workouts a week. I’m going to try and do an hour of cardio tomorrow morning on the treadmill before school and then do the same on Saturday. Next Tuesday before my test I’ll likely hit the fitness center (although this upcoming test I’m more concerned about so I might study instead). Having said that, a break will probably be a good thing.

Today’s workout was good. I actually felt like I finally got a good rhythm with the dumbbell alternating press. I had planned on adding weight to it, but forgot! I was planning on trying 47.5 on the dumbbell snatch, but it just wasn’t going to happen. I struggled to do all four sets at the 45lb weight. So I’ll give it a shot on the next workout.

So I suppose I should make my lunch and then go back to my homework. I’m kind of slacking off a little today. Tomorrow if I do my cardio before school I know I’ll have 2 hours free in the afternoon to work on some stuff.
