Decided to do something that I don't usually do, routines and all. Decided to run today instead of the elliptical for a half hour. The treadmill still remains my least favorite cardio machine but it was nice enough. Did about 3.3 mi, then did the stepmill for 10 mins. Did military press, hammer curls, bench press.
A trainer at my gym has told me that I am not eating enough. He asked me what I ate prior to working out and I said a protein shake and he said that's not enough fuel for what I did. Maybe he's right...if I want to get stronger, then I'll have to eat more but that's a whole other can of worms.. after being overweight, the though of increasing my intake scares the heck out of me.
After hooky for 3 days, went back and did an hour of general weights.

basically all i did was a 40 min cardio session today. thought i'd get some strength in but ended up dealing with a one and one half hour hard sell for personal training, lol. Decided to go ahead and sign up for a year, one day a week. The trainer's a young guy, 22. We'll see what he can do. Need someone to really tap into my potential and take things up a notch. He's not a "master trainer" but he knows what I want to do. Nice thing about this gym is that it gives you a progress journal and I'll get step by step instructioons so that I can do things on my own. Unlike the last gym, which basically has a kid giving you exercises and that was it. No progress report, nothing. We'll see. Our goal is for me to put on ten lbs of muscle. He says that it should take between 10-15 months. One roadblock though is him telling me I will need to tinker with my nutrition and up the calories. I'll probably lose my cheat day and instead have seven days at close to 2,000 calories and those calories have to mostly come from good food. I'd wager 85% of my calories are from things like root veggies, lean meat, and the like but I do have my vices...
Also the pyramid has shifted so that strength is at the bottom tier in terms of workout time and cardio shrinks. It's not that I won't be doing it but not 40-50 minutes of it because that saps up energies that need to go towards lifting.
32 minutes of cardio followed by deadlift. Did my PR for 2 reps.
